Windshield for springer
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....

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

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....

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.

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...
