I have an 06 Uly that I have had for a few years. Everything on the bike is great, except the windscreen. The previous owner removed the windshield, and put it back all wrong. The bushings are all smashed or missing, and the windscreen is behind the cover that is above the headlight. Can anyone tell me where I can buy all of the hardware, and bushing, so I can put it on correctly? Or point me towards a reasonably priced upgrade, that doesn't need the stock hardware? Thanks

Give Al at asb a call. They'll have what you need I'm sure.

i'd imagine that one could fabricate a mount with some 3/32 aluminum sheet and generic rubber grommets that would not only provide a more secure mounting solution, but also improve the wind-deflection characteristics of the OEM windscreen.

.... but that's when I get my self in trouble for thinking again.

All the mounting hardware is still available from your favorite Buell dealer.

Can you post a picture of the setup? We might be able to make a suggestion.

Also, http://www.palmerproducts.co.uk/ has a nice adjustable mounting bracket that you can use instead of more of the stock bushings.

+1 on the Palmer.

You also might consider the Madstad setup, especially if the mods you describe require replacement of your current flyscreen and/or windscreen.

Thanks everyone. I was looking at the madstad, but wasn't sure if I needed any of my hardware, or if it was all new. Basically Froggy,the screen is behind the black plastic cover that it should be attached to the front of.

Am I reading that right? Fifty dollars for the 4 rubber bushings?

I went with the madstad system. 300 was a little steep but it looks nice. Thanks for the help.
