Default Windshield help 09 Deluxe

I’d like to start taking my 09 Deluxe on some longer rides with my wife and am trying to find a windshield. It looks like HD is all sold out online, I’m 5′7″ so I would like advice on what size and where to get one! My wife and I both wear FF helmets. I’ve noticed a lot of aftermarket windshields don’t include hardware, can this be purchased separately?

thanks!

Thanks for the link, it looks like they sell the hardware and shield! Any recommendations on which model shield? I’m 5′7″ and my wife is 5′1″. Bonus points if anyone has pictures!

This is a place to start, I am 5.6 and the King-Size Nostalgic H-D Detachables Windshield for FL Softail Models - 18 in. Light Smoke - 57141-05 | Harley-Davidson USA is what I have, no helmet wind buffet for me,
the top of the shied is in line with my upper lip, I have a 16 Deluxe and I bought the windshield with the bike in Sep of 16, 25k+ miles no problems. Good luck, Ride Safe.

I just replaced my screen on my 07. I went with a solar 15" - I'm 5'6" and I can now see over it. The 17-18" was right in my line of sight the 20" I was looking through the screen. I switched the Live to Ride mirrors for these new Harley mirrors.

Thank you all for the replies! I was able to order the HD Nostalgic windshield from Santa Maria HD in 18" and will be having it installed when my bike arrives from the shipping company.
I'll post some pictures when it's all done. Now I am on the hunt for saddlebags and passenger floorboards!

If you find the 18" to be to tall, I replaced my shield only with a 16" LRS with a curved top. They were a sponsor here and maybe still are.
