Windshield Brackets

Hi All
I've recently bought a FXD Sports windshield and found that the handlebar portion of the bracket only fits the std 1 1/4 bars?
I've had the std bars replaced with "chubby" T bars to hide the wiring and now found that the brakts don't fit?

Anyone had to resolve a similar problem plz?

Or anyone want to buy a Sport Windscreen for a FXD/Sporty with 39mm forks and std handle bars??

Cheers in advance
Dodger

Re: Windshield Brackets

you could try halfords who do various clamps for pushbike frames rhich are adjustable, you may be able to fashion something out of them, ot the ever reliable hose clip type of thing, might liik a bit of a dogs breakfast but as im not sure what the bracket that you are talking about looks like, i can only offer those suggestions

Re: Windshield Brackets

Its just a piece of steel strap, chrome steel strap should be easy to find.
Bend to fit, cut off, drill & finish. Probably need some longer bolts but sorted.

Be careful not to nick the windshield when mounting, though.;)
