2002 Fatboy Windshield Fitment
I recently bought the windshield linked below from eBay, dumb me, tried to save a few bucks since I don't intend to ride with the windshield on very often, mainly just highway.

I also went to the Harley dealer and bought the bolt kit and bushing kit to install the windshield.

Two problems:
1. The windshield is about 1" wider (half in per side) than the forks on the bottom mounts and 1.5" wider on the top mounts.
2. The bolts in the mount kit above bottom out in the fork tubes before getting all the way tight.
Any thoughts? My neighbor has a 96 fatboy with a similar windshield and doesn't have any spacers, but mine seems to need 1/2" spacers on the bottom and 3/4" spacers on top... but this would not look very clean when the windshield is removed, which will be most of the time. Harley dealer is at a loss, so I need some help, thanks in advance!
