name this windscreen
name this windscreen
When I picked up my 2002 Softail Wednesday, the seller threw in an unused, detachable windscreen he had sitting in his garage.
Decided to clean it up and mount it on the bike today. Not bad actually, a bit on the flimsy side but holds up okay and looks decent.
Only problem is the spring loaded clips that hold it in place are nearly impossible to clip over the bolts that go into the fork tubes without getting out a socket wrench and removing/re-installing the bolts through the brackets. Thus negating the “detachable” advantage.
I think whoever put on the clips originally installed them backwards. Wanted to check with whoever makes this unit to see how it’s supposed to be mounted, but there are no identifying markings on the plexi or brackets.
Posting a couple pics below. If anybody recognizes this windscreen, I would appreciate the manufactures name or advice on whether the retaining clips are mounted correctly.

Imo...not a memphis. I have owned three and all were of good quality, not flimsy. Plus, after looking at many models of memphis i don't recall any having that particular shape. Looks more like a national.
