Any 3 hole HD compatable shield will work.

A bunch of us, including me, have bought from Long Ride Shields with good results.

If you have a good glass shop in your area, they can cut you one out in about 15 minutes from Lexan. Which is much better than the polycarbonate. It will not shatter. You can get clear or tint. I had one of each made for my bike. I used the old one to draw a pattern on a piece of cardboard, and made a few changes. They charged me $45 for both.

A HD will fit perfectly, A Bird demolished mine on a trip and I had to pull the trigger. It's been the best windscreen ever! They have a bunch to choose from. RF was the ones that told me to do that. A HD fits go get one. Trip delay, only 1 day. I was going to get one at a local glass shop in Joplin Mo. But they had a No guns sign on the door. No Guns, no money!

Just wanted you to know. Lexan/Makrolon is brand name of polycarbonate. The other product used is acrylic sheet (aka Lucite) which will break. The one on ebay I'm betting is acrylic. My cost on polycarbonate to make a 8" smoked shield is $20.00 for 1/8". Then by time I lay out the pattern, cut & polish the edge I would be more around $45.00 for me to make one. But again the Lexan/polycarbonate will not break!
