‘13 (I believe) windshield hinges
Here is a set of ‘13 (I believe) windshield hinges. My absent minded dad cleaned up and painted these hinges for his ‘15, only to find out that they do not align the windshield panels inline with one another as a ‘15 requires. I suspect these are for ‘13 as the encyclopedia shows ‘12 would have been brass, and ‘14 folds to the rear. There are a couple of stamping tears in the corners, otherwise no cracks, rust pits, damage, or noticeable wear.
I’m no year expert so please review pictures carefully. $100 shipping included in the lower 48

Re: ‘13 (I believe) windshield hinges
Kevin,
I believe those are 1914 windshield hinges.
I know some (maybe not all?) 1913 hinges have a rounded (think very small hockey puck) shaped cover.
Nice hinges, by the way.

Re: ‘13 (I believe) windshield hinges
Thanks for the feedback Keith! The last thing I want to do is misrepresent these hinges, so appreciate your perspective.
I ruled out ‘14, as the pivot would need to be offset toward the rear to allow rearward folding. These hinges do not allow the necessary range of travel when oriented in this way, hence my assumption of ‘13. Here is a pic of the hinge in the last detent “fully open” before the arms bind. Nearly inline (close enough to fool my dad )
Here is a pic from the side (also showing one of the stamping flaws)

Re: ‘14 (verified) windshield hinges
I should have never doubted you Keith! A little searching shows that the ‘13 hinge is a dramatically different design, and the ‘14 is definitely what I have here. Here is a link to an old post discussing the ‘14 hinges;

Re: ‘13 (I believe) windshield hinges
1914 w.s. hinges are the only ones with the "double" bump detents.

I should probably thank you twice Steve… you were the one that identified the hinges in the linked thread
