Windshield height??
Hey Guys,
I've got a winshiled I use for long rides and am considering cutiing it down because it's so tall. Is there a general rule for height? Seems like I remember reading an inch or two below eye level.
Any tips on cutting it and is there an easy way to keep the factory curve at the top?
Thanks!

Here's a video I found and posted before in another thread. Others said they followed it to a T and were very happy with the results,

General rule is that you should be looking over it but some prefer having it higher. I get less buffeting with a taller shield than lower.
My Heritage shield top was in my line of vision which I found annoying. I took just enough off to get it below that level (3/4"). Just remember you can always take off more but you can't add any.
That vid that was posted earlier works great. My shield edges look factory and I think I only went as far as the 400 sandpaper.
