If your gonna steal the windshield why not steal the bike. Bike theft in major cities is a common occurence these days. I refuse to live in a city and my bike is in my garage every night in my country home. A heavy duty zip tie would make it impossible to remove without tools which in every aspect is a decent deterrent in most situations of the quick hit and run thief.

I don't live in a place or do I put my bike in a position for stuff to be stolen off of it. We don't have to lock our doors in this neck of the woods per say. I'd definitely lock her down if I was a city dweller though.

Sorry to revive an old thread. I have an FLD and had the same question. Buying more insurance (with a deductible?) or standing guard over the bike with a handgun is obviously not a solution. Harley makes some locks but none for my application. What I did is to simply drill two small holes near the upper engagement slot adjacent to where the wire retainer loop is. I can slip a small padlock into that hole and the retainer loop and that secures the windshield. I keep the keys locked in my saddlebag along with the keys to my trunk docking hardware, only because I hate carrying a pound of keys around with me.
Granted if someone really wants it bad enough, they could simply use a socket wrench and torx to remove the mounts, but at least it keeps honest thieves honest.
