Default Looking for clamps

With all the recent threads about wind/fly screens I.m thinking about getting one. I like the idea of the quick detach fork clamps but don't think the will work with my DK headlight. Does anybody know of some quick clamps that will work with 1 inch bars/risers?? Running 10 inch risers and sure I can figure out a mounting system if I can find clamps.

Not sure what your wind/fly screen looks like or the kind of bike you have so my response may not apply. I would think the quick release fork clamps would work even with DK headlights. For what it is worth, here are some old pics of the HD quick release clamps and how it would fit with the headlights. I no longer use a windshield and also have DK headlights.

I recently aquired a Windvest 14" windshield off a chopper that was clamped to handlebar risers. I made my own clamping system to mount it using the 2 socket head screws holding the chrome cover on the front of my 1200c.

Point being that wind vest has a riser type clamping system available but not sure if they have it in 1". I think the one I got was 1-1/4.

My fly screen from HD worked perfectly for the time that I had it. Just don't expect any wind coverage....it MAY, divert some wind from your belly button but that's it.

Here are some pics of it on my 48:

Thanks for the replys. My bike ('05 roadster) came with a windshield, but it was large and scratched. I was thinking about cutting it down. Before it was permanently mounted to the bars and forks.

Clearview shields make fantastic replacement shields. They will custom build the shield for you. I highly recommend getting the top curvature mod(free.)
The shields are cut one by one, and Clearview will keep you notified which step your shield is in (ordered, cut, finishing stage, & shipping.)
