2007fxdc, I'm curious to know the model/size of the Windvest as well as your handlebar rise-8", 10", etc. Thanks, Fred

 

Where did it say that? On the Windvest website I don't see an application for 2009 Lowrider.

Item# 10-1242CT 16 Inch tint is for 2009 DynaL

Thanks to everybody for your help. Ron

 

Thanks for your help, I have the same brackets as these. You've given me an idea, I'm headed to the hardware. Thanks again, Ron

 

I looked again at the Windvest website, they don't have an application for 2009 Lowrider, (or I can't find it) maybe that's got something to do with the mis-fit.

Good luck,
Mike

 

I'm sorry Mike, Here's the link where I found the Windvest shield for the 09 Lowrider. Thanks again for all the post, Ron

For those windvest owners what did you make the rubber mounting things from? I'd like to do the same to keep the chrome on my bars from getting buggerd up.

 

Thank you,
Looks like they have more than one website.

I don't know the model - bought it from a forum member, gently used. I believe it is a smoked 14" shield if that helps, and the mounts are for 1.5" bars even though I have 1.25" risers - but, as you can see, I worked that out - or actually the guy I bought it from worked it out, I just refined it a little. My bars have an 8" rise which gives some room for up/down adjustment of the shield and that room was critical and made the difference between satisfaction and disappointment, for me, for this shield using this type of mount. If I hadn't been able to adjust it up enough, my head would just get pummeled and I'd be hating it. However, I don't need but the first few inches of those 8 for enough adjustment (and I'm 6'4"). I didn't want to mount or adjust above the curve in my risers and didn't need to. Doing that would have changed the angle of the shield dramatically and it would have looked silly and not worked as well.

I had a QD shield before and almost never used it because it was f'ugly and bulky and I just didn't like it. It worked but I always looked for reasons not to use it. So I took a chance on the WV just to try it. I immediately sold the QD shield and haven't looked back. The WV is smaller and more suited to a dyna, in my opinion, and if you have the room and/or the ingenuity to get it adjusted right, it works very well for its size.

All that said, I'm still not a windshield guy. When the weather finally settles on staying warm, I'll take it off and not put it back on again for the summer except, maybe, if going on a long road trip somewhere and then it will be more of a bug collector than anything else.
