Is anyone making a windshield for a Hoppe fairing BESIDES Hoppe? (HD windshields DO NOT FIT it!)
I have the Hoppe Quadzilla fairing on my Road King. The largest one they have with a tint and a flip is 10 inch and they use acrylic instead of Polycarbonate, and I want safety from shattering. Is there any other company around making windshields for Hoppe fairings?

I have an aftermarket faring that looks like a Hoppe, 5 holes for the shield. I bought a curved Long Rides Shields and drilled holes in it to match the faring 5 holes. Works perfect. btw- their was a thread recently about LRS 70% off sale. Bought mine during one of these sales for $25 shipped. It was a blem or return or something but looked perfect.

Measure the width of your shield or width of your fairing where the shield mounts. Its been a couple years but from what I recall LRS and I guesstimated which shield version would fit best. I also bought a shield taller then what I thought needed and drilled holes above the shields holes. The only downside to this is, the shield is widest where the bolt holes are. When the shield is lowered "into/inside" the faring for the desired height, the shield width is less. When mounted where I wanted, the shield is ~1/8"-3/16" short on each side. Nothing anyone will ever notice.
