Thanks elder and uk, both of your windshields look great, as do your bikes! They did a nice job with the cutting and finishing. I'm seriously considering doing the same on mine, cutting the 21" to 19" or so.

took mine out for a few hours today, on the Interstate at 65-70 it was pretty windy but it's hard to tell if that was weather or lower windshield, I found that the bike buffetted around at that speeds before too. At lower speeds it felt a bit windier say from 50mph and up but obviously less so than without it, and the noise was fine. I can see great but probably 2 inches would have been enough of a cut.
It's much less windy today here and I got my bike to 60mph (in a 45 zone just to test the windshield of course officer) and did not feel any buffeting. So I think I really like it shorter and I love being able to see without the darned edge right on the horizon. I have a visor on my 3/4 helmet and I wear riding glasses so now I'm not having to look through 3 pieces of plastic, but it feels fine riding with just the glasses and lifting the visor up.
