 ok I used a Fire & Steel light bar for a Vulcan and the lights mount really easy and are not bothered by the windsheild. JMPO don't like the windsheilds with the arms and brackets on the handlebars, looks messy and not as secure to me.

I've heard that it's hard to mount spotlights with the rifle shield because of the way the shield itself is shaped at the bottom.

I just ordered a Rifle shield and it comes with the mounting hardware. You can get clear or tinted and the mounting hardware polished or black. I can't give a review on it because I haven't received it yet.
I'll update once i get it installed.

Mine came on the bike and the PO told me it was on there when he bought it at the dealer, nothing on it saying who makes it or any other info.
That one that PC has posted is close, mine is the 10 hole, it is 21" high and 27" wide at the widest point and it has brackets as you can see that allow you to adjust the height and make it fit you. I rubber mounted the four mounts to the bike itself.

The Fire and Steel windshield is pretty darn good.  If you want a tinted windshield then I'd suggest Cee Baileys (http://www.ceebaileys.com/kawasaki/drifterws.html) for the shield with the Fire and Steel mounts.  Their shields come with lots of options, including height, width, and tint.

Since I'm state-side for the winter I plan to buy some things for my drifter...one being a windshield...what kind, size, and mounting do you have and how do you like it? My knowledge of windshield pros and cons is minimal so any helpful suggestions would be most appreciated. Tks.
