Mine was free from a bud who got it on his bike when he bought it used,he hates themIt's cut for those driving lights you can add but I think it looks better than the full round bottom & he won't give me the lights. [&:]Sorry the only pic I have with it on right now but it's a quick detach also

I was going to buy a used HD quick release WS from a fellow forum member but the deal went south.. Done some digging and research and side by side compairsons and ended up buying the Memphis Shade windshild. Although the docking hardware is not chrome and it's left behind on the bike when you detach the windshield.. The actual consept is the same at a cost of only $190.00 + 13.00 shipping.

On a final note I will have to say the Memphis Shade is made in the US and is heavier feeling whereas the HD is made ? and the edges are not as tooled and smooth. Memphis Shade says they will replace if cracks, glazing, cloud occure within the first 2 years.. HD dealer said Harley wouldn't support beyond 1 year including the chrome hardware.

My vote is for the Memphis Shade.

HD quick detach. I've used Memphis Shades on another bike and have no complaints.
