Had a run-in with a parking lot arm, need to replace the shield.  Can't find any markings anywhere. 

Is this OEM/Tourer?  Clearview? National Cycle?

Note, bike is a '97 Standard with the shield and bags added.

I can tell you what it's not.  It's not oem/tourer/Honda. 

It looks to me like a National Cycle shield.

In a process of elimination, it doesn't look like a Memphis  Shade shield, although similar. The mounting hardware is something I've never seen before. I agree that it's definitely not an OEM windshield.   ???

Don't know either but I have a National Cycle Switchblade model N21425 coming in with a Quick detach mount, model Q103 coming in today to replace my Tourer windshield.
Saw this shield on Grumpy's bike and it is great looking.

I just put a tinted Clearview on my 98 Tourer. Mine has 3/8" clearance at the top of the headlight.

Not a clearview because they only make replacement plexiglass. I'd send the pics to Nat Cycle and ask them. The mount is what confuses me. It may be an old style Nat Cycle use to make.

Pretty sure it's a rifle fairing... I'm on my second one, the first one was clear like yours with no markings.. the new one is a SS version ( super wide) with only a decal on the inside right... pretty sure the original owner took off the rifle decal... your mounting brackets look exactly like mine ( except the very bottom one has a slightly different look.... if you want i can try to upload a pic or better yet text you a pic of mine.

Had a run-in with a parking lot arm, need to replace the shield.  Can't find any markings anywhere. 

Is this OEM/Tourer?  Clearview? National Cycle?

Note, bike is a '97 Standard with the shield and bags added.

I just rechecked your pics.. it's a rifle for sure... the mounting brackets onto the forks and the allen bolts are exactly the same as mine.. i also have a 97 standard cooldude

Thanks everyone.  I've looked at Rifle's website and sent them a question about ordering a replacement.  Thanks for the help!

Yep those are Rifle mounts.  I used them for mounting my spots after I gave away the shield to go on a Boss Hoss.
