Don't think you can without buying the entire hardware pack, I tried once.
When mine broke my local shop guy welded and reinforced it for me, just one step shy of re-building the entire thing.

I'm guessing you have the Prima screen? They won't sell you parts. I tried last year and my dealer tried to get Scooterworks to sell just the bridge part. No go. I bought the other brand and it's worth it. I forgot the brand. It starts with a C. Cupertino? Something like that.

The Cuppini definitely has stronger supports but, being smaller than the Prima, it doesn't perform as well. I had a Prima on my wife's Buddy and a Cuppini on mine, so I could compare them back to back. The wind noise when using the Cuppini was so bad I had to wear ear plugs. With the Prima, the wind noise is much lower and the ride is less fatiguing. No ear plugs necessary.

I finally bought a Prima for my bike, too, and the Cuppini sits unused.

Hello tonymca:

Do you have the name of the adapter part you are talking about. If it is a Prima Windshield, I seen a diagram with the parts all named. If it is a Cuppini, I have one mounted on my Buddy 125.

Perhaps I can suggest a substituted part, if you do not want to buy another windshield.
