Windshield mounting assembly

A windshield mounting assembly comprising a handlebar clamp including a closeable opening having an axis extending therethrough, an element extending laterally outwardly of said handlebar clamp, an elongated windshield mounting member having an inner end portion adjacent to said element and extending laterally of said axis, connecting means for movably attaching said mounting member inner end portion to said element and for selectively closing said opening, said mounting member further including an outer end portion having bifurcated legs defining a plane therebetween extending generally parallel with said axis and adapted to receive a portion of a windshield therebetween, one of said legs having a passage extending therethrough and a ledge adapted to support a windshield edge, said passage being adapted to receive a windshield fastening means therethrough for attachment of a windshield thereto.
