Abstract
A motorcycle comprises a frame assembly, a wheel rotatably mounted to the frame assembly for rotation about a lateral axis and within a vertical plane, two mounting bosses mounted to the frame assembly, and a windshield assembly having two sockets (e.g., substantially U-shaped and defined by two brackets) mounted to the mounting bosses. One mounting boss extends laterally from the assembly in a first direction, and the other mounting boss extends laterally from the assembly in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction. The sockets are open ended in the vertical plane to allow the windshield assembly to be removed from the mounting bosses by moving the windshield assembly in the vertical plane.
