Default Who cuts windshields?

When I got my Harley I was just getting out of a Voyager XIII, the windshield on that thing was like a car. So I get this FLT with the stock 15" windshield. I wanted the same protection I had with the Kaw, so I got a blue tinted windshield, 4" over, so 19". Bummer. So it's been hanging on the wall for years. Are there shops that will trim that thing down to like 13" or 14", keeping the contour and the smooth edge? What kind of shop do I look for?

Do it yourself. There are videos on youtube that show how. It's pretty simple with basic tools.
try this http://tidyville.roadstarclinic.com/windshield.html step by step
or here http://www.motorcyclejustice.com/equ...indshield.html
or the video

Thanks! That doesn't look too bad. It's just going to end up in the trash anyway, it's worth a try.

It is really easier than it looks. I cut mine out around where it fits over the head light, and then moved it down with the lower clamps under the bottom triple tree. Worked great.
