Had a Slipstreamer Viper I used occasionlly on my Speedmaster with the stock risers, but now that I put on the Deuce style risers that have more pullback, the rods that attach to the handlebars for the shield are too short. So I'm looking for a fork mounted shield, but I don't have the shrouds on so the usual Marauder choices won't work. Ideally I'd like to go to a fork mount shield that has a quick release.
I went to the Harley dealer the other day with my tape measure and found the Softails have 41mm fork tubes, but they're approximately 10 inches center-to-center and our bikes are about 8 3/4 c-to-c. Saw one Softail there that had a windshield on it and I don't see how the mounting points can adjust to that 1 1/4" difference.
So, anybody have any ideas on other possible makes and models that might fit my bike's setup? After doing 120 miles each way at 80+ mph on the interstate to Prescott, I wished I had a windshield the last 80 miles home. I have a trip in July to Southern Utah, and I need to find a windshield that'll fit by then. The only thing I'd change from my current setup would be to bend or make a new bracket for the speedometer to pull it back closer to the handlebars. Putting the stock risers back on is not in the plan.
