RE: Did It! But no verdict yet
I'm a firm believer in looking over the windshield. I didn't have my new Heritage Softail Classic more than a 1/2 hour before I cut several inches off the windshield. I have mine cut so that I look over it all the time unless I slouch a lot, then I can look through the very top. In really heavy rain I slouch. Cutting it is a piece of cake, and there are many posts here that tell you how.
With the trim, you may encounter helmet buffeting, I did. The wind deflectors stopped that, and they look good too.
A tip I got somewhere said to line the upper edge of the windshield with a piece of small diameter tubing slit to fit over the plastic edge. The tubing will deflect rain drops from coming over the top of the windshield and move them to the side. I used some 1/4 inch black fuel tubing, cost was almost zilch, slit it and fit it over. It really works. Of course you have to ride in the rain to appreciate it...
