Default Sidecar Windscreen

Hi- Been lurking around here for a while now, soaking in ideas. first time posting.

I've got a unrestored '73 FLH w/ factory car that I'm trying to locate a windscreen for. Any ideas? It's the 5-screw, full height windscreen, though I'd actually prefer one about half the height. Wife and daughter both want more breeze when riding.

Thanks for any help!

I would recommend taking some really good photos. And maybe even take some photos with a measuring tape or ruler in them, Get good measurements and reach out to Long Ride Shields, or Clearview Shields. I would bet either of them could make one.

Not hard to make a mount and shield. Keep in mind it can add a lot of drag to your bike.

Thanks. Actually looking to replace the H-D OE windscreen, though considering a shorter "sport" version. Took my 90-year-old Grandma for her first motorbike ride on July 4th (she was thrilled!), but the brittle 46-year-old windscreen cracked helping her in and out...
