A windshield assembly for use on a motorcycle includes a lower windshield mount fastened to the triple tree of the motorcycle. A windshield is pivotally mounted to lower windshield mount. A break-away mechanism is mounted to an upper portion of the windshield and releasably couples the windshield to an arm that is directly coupled to the handlebars of the motorcycle. If a predetermined force is applied to the windshield the break-away mechanism will release the windshield from the arm allowing the windshield to pivot.
