I am looking to add a detachable windshield on my Fat Boy. I am going to stay with the Harley model and am looking at the Nostalgic and the "regular". I like the horsehoe look of the support on the Nostalgic one, but all of the windshield bags seem to say that they fit all except the Nostalgic.

Can anyone tell me if you can mount a bag on the Nostaligic frame?

Any other pros/cons, comments or suggestions?

 

If you think you will ever add passing lamps be aware that lamps require a different windshield. Although, with some modification I was able to get my non-passing lamp shield to fit when I added lamps. Anyway, shields are expensive and it would suck having to buy it two times.

 

Thanks for the reply. I have already ordered a deluxe lamp kit and will buy the windshield made for those. Model # is 57749-04 for the regular and 57140-05 for the nostalgic. Just not sure if you can attach a bag on the nostalgic.

 

why do you need a bag if you don't mmind me asking to store it?

 

no, you can't mount the bag on the nostalgic, I bought the regular 1 and mounted a bag with no problem.

 

Is the Nostalgic the same bolt pattern as the reg stock Heritage.?

Ok I just looked and no its not.... looks like the nostalgic doesn't have a center bolt hole to attach the bag. If U drill one through the Hd emblem on the cross bar It seems like one would work...

 

I've got the Nostalgic on my Fatboy and the windshield bags fit. The required center bolt is there. The bag I have is the one for the Fatboy (the one with 3 studs on it).

 

I have an '05 Deluxe with the nostolgic windshield. Last year I bought the windshield bag designed for the Deluxe, and it mounted just fine. It used the center stud on the windshield bracket to mount.
