FYI...you can get black aftermarket brackets on Amazon & they work perfect, look great! $61.77 shipped!

Vince, let us know what John says. His return policy is that once you remove the protective plastic the windshield is yours… and of course mine is non returnable due to “custom” options (vent, graphics)

OG if you ever come down this way to visit let me know.
Maybe you could trailer the cicle with you and we could do some local riding. I know it's a pain lugging a trailer but if you make it a long visit with your GF family it might be worth it.

Yeah I remember that policy. I was going to throw myself on his mercy lol. Honestly sitting on my bike this morning with a tape measure at 22" I don't know if the extra 2 inches would help. Since you have one on order I'm going to wait and see what you have to say about it. Check ur pm I sent you a question about the vent.
