Quick release windshield on RK
It really is quick. Was at the hospital and a life flight chopper came in to land. It blew the windshield off the bike and across the paring lot. I guess I need a different parking spot.

Yeah, I took my sister to lunch today at the Denny's in town, and we sat where I could see the bike. I left the windshield at home, the wind is blowing 40mph with gusts to 50, and I told her while we watched the bike rock on its sidestand that it was a good thing the windshield was at home or I'd be chasing it down the street.

Wow, mine fits tight but I could see that happening. Did it scratch the heck out of it?

Trashed, guess i'm getting a new one. See them on ebay a lot plus much less than retail. Found some good deals online but after shipping pretty close to dealer

Most RK's I've seen do not have the wire bent down far enough to secure the windshield.
I have reshaped the RETAINERS on my windshield so they actually retain the windshield.
Simple matter to bend them down to where they lock over the upper mount bushing.
