Default Windsheild too tall

The windshield on my Heritage is too tall to see over. What is the best method for cutting it down?

Maybe you could trade with somebody who needs a taller one? Otherwise, I'd take it to a glass place that has the right tools and experience.

I replaced mine with a wider, shorter tinted windshield from rifle.com

What is the proper height? I've been told your line of sight should be 1-2 inches over the top.
