Fatboy Windshield question

Whatever you do...don't buy the Harley shield. It's garbage. I have used both Harley and Memphis Shades. The Memphis Shades is so much thicker than the Harley shield and doesn't flex. The Harley one also has a laminated coating on it that WILL eventually peel. Memphis Shades has the wide and slim designs also. Either way, don't be afraid to cut it down to the proper height. It's super easy to do and you can make it perfect for your height. There's nothing worse than the shield being too high, it starts to rain, and having to constantly reach up to wipe the shield so you can see.

Never liked the looks of a windshield on a Fatboy, but after the ride down and back to Daytona on I-95 I have had a change of heart. I want to go with one of the detachable HD windshields, either the king size or the nostalgic, but I have a question on the listed windshield heights. HD lists 18, 21, and 23 inch heights. Where exactly are these measurements taken from? Are they measured from the cutout for the headlight? I want to have a windshield I can look over, not through, and I don't want to end up with too high of a windshield from the start. Any help would be appreciated.

Heres a stock MOCO windshield. It was 23 above the headlight. Might have been 22, I can't remember exactly:
This is all you have to do to make it any size you want:
And this is what I choose to keep it at. This is 16 over the headlight. I am just under six feet. Like 5.11 1/2. I look right over it.

Fatboy Windshield Question
I have a Fatboy Low, do any of these aftermarket companies that make shields sell the mounting hardware and their shield with the hardware?
Or do you have to buy a Harley one and transfer it to the aftermarket shield?
It seems as though all the aftermarket ones only sell the replacement screens. Also if it matters I have 12.5'' Ape Hanger bars.
Thanks
