Well my wife finally decided on a bike, and we pulled the trigger on a 2002 Softail standard. We pick it up this weekend. Should be a nice addition to the Heritage. It'll be nice to only have to do maintenance on softails. Anyways my question. This bike doesn't have a windshield, and for the type of riding we do, the Detachable windshield would be perfect, and the best price I've found is thru Zanotti's. But, is there any mounting hardware that goes along with this windshield, I can't see from the description in the accessories catalog if I need to find a mounting bracket. I've never owned a standard softail, only heritages so I don't have any good references.
Part Number 59802-05. Quick-Release Detachable Compact Windshield - Standard-Height
Combine the classic Harley-DavidsonŽ windshield shape with a revolutionary new attachment system, and you have the best of style and function. The windshield mounts to the fork tubes with elegant die-cast lever-release clamps, so the windshield does not require any "leave-behind" docking hardware. You get quick on-and-off convenience, and a clean, custom look. No tools are required, and the kit includes everything needed to install the windshield. The tough, hard-coated polycarbonate windshield features traditional chrome horizontal and vertical braces. Patented. Fits '93-'05 FXDWG and '86-later FXST, FXSTC and FXSTB models. Windshield dimensions: Overall height 23.8"; height above headlamp 18.6"; width 21.4". Hardware is mounted onto the windshield, and clamps between your triple trees. I have this one, and it's quick and easy to get on and off.
I put the harley windshield detachable on my wifes 04 standard ,she loves it ,she is 5ft, 4ins. so I had it cut 2ins. at local glass shop. Now she would ride my fatboy no windshield what a shame ha.ha.
