sorry, I tried to look it up but couldn't find anything on that. Is it three pieces? Post some better pictures and explain how it fits on the bike or better post a pic on the bike.

These look like the same ones, however there is no part number. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Windscreen-mount-bracket-Drifter-vn1500-c-99-01-02-03-04-05-kawasaki-T20/123026607484?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

Maybe contact the seller and see if he has any info on this part.
Looks like the same one.
Good job Gene.


This may not be a Kawasaki part but a mount that came with an aftermarket windshield. If it was Kaw part you would think there would be more info on it.

I believe you are right, that is the same bracket.

I don't think it has the style, grace or engineering signature of a Kawasaki designed part.

I think Rifle could find you a suitable screen if you tell them:
1) The distance apart of the two vertical members.
2) The spacing of the two holes in the vertical members.
3) The distance from the lower of the holes in the vertical members to the base of the horizontal member.
Send them a good photo of the mount and a sketch with the dimensions.

I'm pretty sure that it was made by a company called "Memphis Shades". See if they are still in business and give them a call.

I have the same mount. It is part of the Kawasaki F&S Drifter Windshield mounting system. Mine (complete assembly) was K46001-023. I don't think these had separate PN's.

Do you have a part number for the complete unit you bought?  I'd like to look into that.

I don't have part number but windshield can be viewed at rifle.com. The guys at rifle are great. They actually answer their phones. I installed the windshield and it fits great. Dnnis from rifle informed me they had shipped 3 custom drifter windshields the week I received mine. It is a quality product you can order the height and width you prefer. Takes about a month for them to manufacture it. Apparently they have a lot of orders. The hardware is available in black or chrome.
