Which windshield is compatible with FX 2015?
« on: November 16, 2019, 01:04:16 PM »

Hello, everyone,
I discovered that the original Zero windscreen is compatible with the FX from 2016 to 2020. I don't see many differences with 2015, and yet the spare part seems not compatible with that year. Do you know if it can still be fitted to 2015? Or which windscreen can I fit that year? Thank you

The previous windscreen is different; it has a different support structure and attaches to the handlebars directly.  (I have the older one)

I was wondering about the differences this morning when I was at the dealer getting my Zero fixed and the 2020 they had there had the windshield.  (They're down to four Zeros now; all the SR/Fs and Ses and FXSes are gone right now.  They have the new SR, FX, DSR, and a used DSR.)

This windshield works well on my FXS 2017 and only costs 35$
You only need to add small cushions between the windshield and the bike to avoid vibrations (you'll understand once it is mounted).

The windshield is fixed with two steel bars, roughly at the middle of the windshield. If you want to avoid vibrations you need to stick two small rubber pads where the bottom of the windshield touches the fairing. Really easy.

Adding small pads on the yellow boxes in the following picture eliminates vibrations. You and also cut the steel bar after you fixed the windscreen, and polish the cut part to smooth sharp edges.

What kind of seat is that?

Custom one. They kept the original seat for one week, then they could do this - really cool.
