New rider and new to the forums. I have been looking to add a windshield to my 2013 Sporty XL1200C and am quite confused by some of the part numbers and compatibility.
I PM'd a HDF user with a 2007 XL1200C about a QD windshield but in looking at the H-D site, it won't fit a '11-later XL883L, XL1200C and '14 XL1200T.
Before I spend the $$ to buy someones used shield, can someone explain why they say it won't work for my '13? All of them look the same on the H-D site. The p/n for the '13 is 57801-11, the '07 looks like 58602-04.
