Taller Windshield
Does anyone know where I can get a taller windshield that will work with OEM frame and hardware. I have 2011 heritage classic with original windshield. Mine is fine but too short. When I visit a dealer I like how to road king's windshield is higher.

I bought a replacement glass from this seller on ebay:

Real quality at much less the cost from the dealer.
Here's some tips I got on changing out the hardware:
Take the screws out of the windshield. The big piece that mounts to the bike will come off easy. The smaller strips may stick to the windshield as there's a type of tape there. Use a hair dryer to loosen the strips. Go slow, cause if you bend one it can't be straightened.
When you get it apart, some of that tape will stay stuck to your old shield and some will stay on the strips. Leave what stays on the strips. To replace the bare spots I used plain old black electrical tape. It's been there over a year, 10,000 miles, and no cracks at the screw holes.
It takes two hands to take the shield and metal apart, three or four to get it all back together.

I have 2011 Heritage and just replace the lexan(glass). You can order just the lexan from the dealer. It comes with everything you need. Took me about an 2 hours to replace it. I went to a 23 inch. The 2010 models and on came out with the windshield 2 inches shorter.
