Default Bad Weekend!

It was all my fault! My driveway is a hill and I parked at a bad angle. My 76 Electra Glide fell off the stand. No major damage. The clips on the bottom of the right side saddlebag sheared off, but the bags are ok. It fell against my stepdaughter's car. The windshield took the brunt of the damage...a big scratch in the middle. I seem to remember reading about adapting a later quick release windshield. I can't find the thread. Anyone have any info?
