Check out Fast Aire's $45 windshield trim kits. Jim Blackmon is a great guy and his products are top shelf quality.

And, the 2014 windshield screws, the middle one is really long.

+1 even though I like the look and the bar and shield engraving, if I had it to do over, I'd go with the solid piece with bar and shield

+1...Jim does make some VERY nice stuff, and at a very fair price for top notch quality!

Yep +1.
Snug, not torqued.

Like the others said... remove all three screws, place trim on bike & install center screw loosely then the other two, tighten center screw first then the others.

Torque for the 2014 model windshield screws: 25-30 inch pounds..

Info: Due to the fairing design change, the windshield & trims from the 2013 & earlier years will not fit a 2014.

Our 2014 trim design is at the manufacturing company but due to their business load, I expect it will be late Nov before I see any. These guys do exceptional work so the quality is worth waiting on.

HD sells their polished stainless 4 slotted trims for $90+ & our chromed 4 slot trim will be close to $50.
