Where to find Binding Post for windshield on 2014 RT Spyder

[Robo spyder]

I am not sure how the binding bolt on my adjustable windshield turned up missing. I believe someone helped themselves.

I have checked at the local Sypder Representative Store and they are telling me I cannot just get the binding post by itself. I need to order an entire windshield kit.

This post connects the two arms for the windshield.

Thanks in advance for any help.

That part is a piece of brass that acts as a hinge pin of sorts, with screw threads on the end to hold it in place. I think the brass pin is probably still in there but the end screws vibrated loose and fell out

Thank you for your response UtahPete. You are correct in the brass piece but there is none of it left in the brackets. This is why I belive someone helped themselves to it.

Possibly, but I'd think it far more likely that UtahPete's supposition about the end screws vibrating loose & falling out is what happened; and then either because the brass pin hadn't been correctly fitted, or it'd just worn loose due to the vibrating that ALL of these RT windscreens are subjected to, just worked it's way out & fell off over time of it's own accord!! :shocked:

Not that that really matters HOW it came out, it's gone, & now you just want a replacement.... . I don't know if he can help or not, but if anyone here can, it'll be noboot, an Oz based member here who makes/sells the replacement Billet Arms as shown in the thread UP linked & the thread linked below.

Aside from that, you might need to see if you can find a metal shop, brass rod supplier, or home tinkerer with a small lathe who can make you a replacement - it shouldn't be too hard to do, but it wil be a little fiddly & so could take a bit of time....

Good Luck! :cheers:

Maybe someone on the forum could find the part number so you can order just that online.

Sorry either way happened is this part unusually easily accessible & not dipped in lock tight?
:hun: if did vibrate loose is it possible fell in cavity between engine & frunk (not quite the same VOID around handle bars. FYI got lucky 1 time; tech found missing lid lock key, while doing oil change. where it landed or rode for how long, least a month or more. It CAN happen:thumbup:

Read your post. Was just out for a short ride on my 2014 Spyder RT SE6 , screw on end of brass hinge sheared off and windshield flopped back onto the dash area. Pin was still in the bracket on the windshield itself so I was able to save that. Now if I can free up what’s left of the screw, I’ll replace both screws!
