I really like the blacked out braces on this windshield, plus I prefer the quick disconnect that Harley uses vs. other aftermarket windshields.

The p and a book doesn't say it would fit my '05 springer, but can't figure out why it won't. Any clues would be great. Thanks....

Yep, I'm a guy who wants a windshield sometimes....

 

Cause you don't have fork tubes to connect it to.

Check out Windvest. I have one for my Night Train and it's great! It's not a QD but it comes off in only a couple minutes.

 

You have to get the springer specific mounting bracket and windshield.


Edit-... I was following the lead of the above poster before I looked at the pic.

The mounting bracket listed is the same for all springers..

I can't think of any good reason it won't fit, unless the Xbones headlight is mounted higher than your Springer classic

 

That was my thought.

I guess I should measure an Xbones on the showroom floor this week. I really like the gloss black brackets (on the windshield). I guess I could have an Ebay find brackets powdercoated.

I figured someone had already done this and could alleviate my searching.

Thanks....

 

Dont trust the wont fit thing. I have several things on my 06' that they and the book told me wont fit. lol.
Looks identical to the quick detach shield I have. IIRC they front ends are identical.

 

Cool...

 

I have one on my XBones, and I don't see why it wouldn't ft...you may have to shim the headlight some, but otherwise the only other things that would prevent mounting is the location of the mounting bolts...which knowing how H-D works should most likely be in the same spot.

 

I have this Harley quick connect on my Cross Bones, never liked the look but I never take mine off so I kind of old schooled it, chrome trim and painted the lowers. Kind of "lipstick on the pig" but I like it.

 

Says it fits the Bones, should fit yours. I don't think they have made any changes to the springer front ends.

 

Okay, how about an FXSTS windshield (PN: 57969-97)? They both use the same mounting brackets; I have found a used FXSTS Sportshield for cheap...
