I have a brand new Dart with a smoke windscreen. Mounted it, didn't like the look and it's been sitting in the box ever since. Mine is a 2012 XLN but will prob fit yours? If it does and if you want it, DM me with an offer. Just realize I need to ship it from NJ so don't low ball me too much.

Something I've been thinking about. With the advent of 3D printing, has anybody come up with a smaller batwing for Sportsters? You know say something along the lines of say 65, 70 or 75% the size of a FL Batwing. Just thinking out loud here.

You could try Memphis Shades if their batwings will fit your bike. Their mounting attaches to the forks.

Harley makes or used to make this quick attach fairing, there are knock-off versions of it also. Pic of the fairing on my bike.

Something like that only the top rise is a lower angle. Great looking Sporty!
