Shorty windshield, bags won't fit?
Hey guys, just picked up this SG last week. Not sure what brand the windshield is, however it's short 4" or so, and has some curves in it. I bought some bags and they don't seem to fit? Do these not fit shorty windshields?
Bags I purchased below, thanks!

If it's a recurve style then no. At least for the 14's, the windshield needs to be a 10" Wind Splitter (or similar) in order for the windshield bags to mount up correctly and sit flush. Flat windshields should be a non-issue.
Stock SG windshield up to 2013 is a 4 inch dark smoke. The 2014 is a 5 inch.
If the short windshield you have has an inward curve on the sides like a Klockwerk's, then basically no 3 bag system will fit it correctly due to the interference of the windshield.
If you want to keep the bags & keep a short windshield, then you need to change out the windshield to one that has straight sides but with a re-curve at the top... Like our 6 inch Aero Windshield.
If you like the Klockwerks type design & want bags, you'll have to go up to a 8 inch model... I think 8 is correct.
Unless you want to use a single bag w/ your current windshield, you'll have to live without the bags or buy a different windshield.
Others here may know of a bag set that will work ........
