Thread: Removing my windshield

Tweet

While that bums me out, I'm VERY happy i found this out BEFORE i removed the current windshield to find the holes left behind could not be covered by the stock stanchions. Like I said, just eyeballing it, it looked like the stock ones "should" cover the same footprint of the billet ones, especially since the stockers are bigger overall... but I did have a concern the holes (or at least part of them) would remian exposed... I assume the stock windshield stanchions pretty much have to go in a specific place to allow the frame to sit properly on the cowl... so if you say you checked, i believe you. Probably wouldn't have got the glued-on glass off the cowl without a major incident anyhow.


Now a new thought...I am thinking of trying to make a top header strip for the glass, to sort of "frame" the glass for a slightly less "billet" look. Anyone have any idea where i might be able to find U-shaped aluminum or stainless channel that would slip over the top of the laminated glass windshield?
