Pretty sure the shield is Shope's "Big Baller". Looks like it anyway. Paint job is awesome.

Painted / Colored shields look good especially on the Road Glide

It's actually the Street Sweeper from DBC.

hd rolling was correct on the snap caps; fastener goes thru a plastic washer and the cap snaps over it. Got 'em at Lowes for like a dozen for $5, and had my painter spray a bunch.

I use to use a Ness trim piece with this windshield when the bike was denim black.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
