Title: '89 windscreens
Post by: woodchuck5515 on April 21, 2009, 11:12:38 AM
Any know if the F-15 or F-16 windshields from national cycle will fit on an '89 since it has clip ons. If not anyone know of any that do ?

Yeah, those mount to the headlight bracket only as I recall. Your bars shouldn't be an issue.

I knew they mounted around the headlight but for some reason I was thinking that they had additional supports that went to the bars but I'm not real sure

If the headlight mounts are the same as the '01, then they should work fine.  I just posted some pics of the F-16 touring in a different thread:

i've got the f18 and it doesn't even come close to the bars so you should be ok.

Nope, there are no additional supports.

There are some windshields that require additional handlebar supports, but not the two you mentioned...
