Windshield differences from a 59 to a 60 windshield
What are the differences from a 59 to a 60 windshield? I am not certain the windshield that came with my bike is correct and the top section is cracked and missing some of the bead on the edges.

Re: Windshield differences
The '59 and back to '49 windshields are narrower at the top and come to a peak, and the adjustable window above the headlight is straight across at the bottom and curves toward the fork.
The '60 and later windshields are slightly wider and rounded at the top, and the adjustable window above the headlight is cut out to follow the contour of the headlight. Also all of the HD windshields of this era had beading around the edges I believe.
