Default Windshield move forward
Has any one out there made bracket or can you buy a bracket to move the windshield a inch or two forward. I have put 16 apes on my road king. I can’t put wear I need them cuz windshield rubs the cables spent good money on cables. Don’t want to rub.

Have you tried loosening the handbag clamps and rotate the bars to clear the cables.

Looks to me like you are forcing a square peg into a round hole. Adjust your bars back and you should be fine??
