Default Need some help. Fairing windshield options.

I bought an 05 RK custom 2 years ago and the previous owner had a Hoppe Industries 5566 batwing fairing. It has a 5in dark tint windshield but I'd like a slightly taller one for my longer trips. I know that Hoppe sells different and taller shields but I'd like a Klock Werks or similar shield. Does anyone have one on a Hoppe fairing?

If klock werks shield is what your after then call them and ask if there windshield fits your fairing.If nobody chimes in here this maybe your only option.

Holy ****! I think for $40+ shipping it might be worth a shot to see if it fits my fairing.

Looks like you have a 5 screw install? I Had a 5 screw hole pattern. On my 1993. Very hard to find a wide selection on those. If it is as it appears. Best advise is contact someone from those places before you order. Explain what you have. They should be able to help you. If it's a 3 screw windshield. You should have not problem at all. Good Luck

You are correct, it has 5 bolts. I shot an email to Klock Weeks and Long Ride to see what they say. With shipping the Long Ride shields are actually $60 so I'll wait and see what they say.

Should be pretty easy with some minor surgery to the shield if they only offer 3 holes.

I tried using the Memphis shade 5in clear I had from my old bike. Unfortunately the shield didn't have the right shape/wasn't wide enough.

Call LRS and discuss fit with them. I have a LRS Elite Recurve on my Reckless Fairing, and that thing is top of the line. With the wind passing over you just right, man it is just great.
