I believe that should be around $5.00 for a set of 4...
MSRP is $5.99/set of 4

1/8 the cost HD sells them for.

He's not talking about Well nuts, like what holds the headlight bucket in. He's talking about the grommet looking parts that the detachable windshield mount rides on.

Hi you all, does someone know if those grommets are round or oval ? I bought a set of those and they don't fit in the mounting bracket, should I try to rotate them to find a way in or another idea ?

Thanks for your ideas !

Round, as I recall. They are hardest to mount a windshield on when they are new. In use, they get squished, and subsequent removals and installations becomes easier.

You might try lubricating the rubber, to let the mount more easily slide over it.

Bike Bandit seems to be TU, at least for the moment. I wish them the best but have no idea if they will be back in business or not. The windshield grommets are one of the few items that you don't need to pay a Hundred Dollars for at the dealer. A lot of the guys use this to find part numbers, the diagrams are about the same as what is in the dealers' parts books.

They are round. I keep spares as I've already changed them on my '13 King. I regularly change from windshield to a detached batwing. The trick is they have a center groove and you have to align the bracket to the grooves. Might flex the windshield a bit so the brackets align.

I just find some similar plastic / rubber scrap and use my gasket punches and make my own. A lot of evil comes from over tightening but under tightening is no good either(those screws are pricey)! I guess I should go to dealer and buy new ones and have the opportunity to admire the new bikes.
