Still "fairly" new to board, but have gotten some good advice thus far. Now, I'm looking to find a good windshield tri-pouch, for my Hondaline windshield. As most of you likely know, that's not very easy to find. I did find the below on Ebay, and I'll be cursed if I didn't lose it by $2, after checking 5minutes too late --- hate when that happens. http://www.ebay.com/itm/180834703868?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649Regardless, the downside is, I know it's a J&M, but no clue what the model number/name is, and if this (or one like it) will actually fit the Hondaline perfectly. Can anyone tell me if the above will in fact fit, and if they know the model number OR if someone knows of a good tri-pouch alternative that will fit the hondaline windshield? Thanks in advance for any responses!!!

It looks exactly like the one I have for my oem windshield....including the studs. It was on the bike when I bought it and never knew who the manufacture was.....or a part number either.
Yep, it'll fit perfect, but I've never seen another one.....anywhere. Good luck finding one.
I think Hopnel made a tri-pouch for the oem shield, but I haven't seen one of those for sale in a couple years either.

Thanks BF. Yeah, I've seen the Hopnel, but it's got the braiding and conches, and -although nice on bikes- I prefer the clean look.
None-the-less, your response is deff appreciated! :-)

Thanks RJ. Preciate you lookin' for me. I've done numerous google searches, for various "strings", and seen most of what you'd provided, but none looked like they'd be a "perfect" fit for the Hondaline shield, as it's got an awkward curvature, and 5 screws on the top bar, versus the standard 3-4. I was hoping someone on here had one that they KNEW fit perfectly, and could provide details on on maker, style, etc. Thanks again though! Always appreciate how far out of the way people go on here to help out!

Worse come to worse or better and depending on how deep yer pockets is-find a custom leather fabricator.  Just my .02 cents and most likely not worth that much.  RIDE SAFE.

Hey Fudgie.... Can you give me the maker/model of the HD one you have? I've seen a couple from Hopnel, but I'm trying to find something WITHOUT conchos; prefer the clean look. Thanks again to ALL who are replying and trying to help out. Seriously appreciated!

I'm pretty sure that fudgie has a Harley fairing on his Valk.....that probably explains the Harley pouch on his bike.

Yes I do have a HD fairing but had the pouches long before fairing. They are a 3 bolt pattern. The tabs are the longer of the others. Little over a inch. Our HD dealear only had 2 sets and the other tabs are really small, 1/2" maybe. Dont know the year but most are universal. It has a metal base so no sag. I had to bend the pouches a little to fit the oem screen. I placed it between the inner chrome w/s support and the rubber. The center tab will be away from the shield a little. You may be able get it in the supports but then it puts the pouches close together to open, to close for me. The 2 tabs are enough to hold the pouches. I guess you could cut it off. I just stuck a patch behind it to keep it from scratching the shield. It does block some of the top of the gauges but not bad. Depends how tall you are. They hold alot of stuff. Its leather with velcro. They do say HD on top but so do alot of my stuff.  It was a $100. Check if they can return it if you dont like it. Usually very cheap ones on ebay to. When I had it on the oem shield.
