Cutting my windshield..
If it's acrylic, it will be easier, but you can still achieve this pretty easily if it's polycarbonate. The fine tooth jigsaw will work. Go slow, use tape and make sure the rest of the shield is secure from vibrating excessively. Flame polishing is a cool effect for sure, but most likely the rest of your shield is not flame polished. I would do the fine grit sanding, or even the back side of your dish sponge. This should match the rest of the shield pretty well.

On mine I cut some off the bottom and did not have to mess with the top at all I dropped it about an inch
Just cut the notches about I inch deeper and be sure to cut some off the bottom to keep it from hitting anything in fairing

I think i understand your issue, but you can do what i did....make an adapter that mimics the slide portion of the top on the slider on the windshield, the portion of the metal part that slides unto the top bushing.....basically made the slider a little longer so that the windshield sits straighter..... Here's what my windshield looks like with my apes.....
None the less yall were a big help. Im gonna bring it in, and get started tomorrow
