Last week I finally found some Journey bags and factory racks for my Uly. I also purchased a tall Uly windscreen.
When I got home with it I realized that the windscreen only has the two top mounting posts. The bottom bolts were not included. I called up my local HD dealer and they told me that the mounting hardware was obsolete.
Anybody have any current part numbers that they know work for the lower mounting bolts/nuts, etc.?
If not, what are my options? I assume I can't just use the mounting posts off my short windscreen because of the "blow off" issue.
HELP!!!!

I'm pretty sure that the kit is only supposed to contain two of the new mounting screws. I think the logic is that you use the old style pair on the top and the new style pair on the bottom. When I bought my tall windscreen it also came only with two new mounting screws.

If you're the handy type of guy, you can also make your own. I've experimented with long bolts run through pieces of PVC pipe (of course painted flat black) to gain an extra half inch. By increasing the distance between the fly screen and the wind screen and allowing some air to get through, it reduces turbulence. YMMV

"Anybody have any current part numbers that they know work for the lower mounting bolts/nuts, etc.?"

Hello...

The "Lower Hardware Kit Components" - as the parts you seek are reffered to on the tall windscreen OEM instuction sheet - have no part numbers. Under the "Part Number" banner, we are told that the 5 separate components are "Not sold separately."

Sorry. Take some measurements and create your own kit - this should not be too difficult to do... }

When you cut the PVC pipe, use a hacksaw and not your table saw. It creates little PVC bullets!
