RE: Windshield cutdown

I cut 1 1/4" of the stock RKC windshield and wish I hadn't. It is fine when I wear my 3/4 helmet but my filp up gets too much wind noise going. I don't wantto cut it any more because I like the protection from rain.
I think I'll order one of those recurved ones that people have been raving about.

RE: Windshield cutdown

Great posts. Just solved my dilemma. I have to sit very tall to see over the top of mine. A lot cheaper than buying a new shortie. Just got the bike and I'm a contractor with all the necessary tools. Was thinking about cutting it, but wasn't sure how it would go. Thanks.

I cut mine 2" I also had the wife hold a air gun right next to the fine metal cutting blade to keep the blade clean and cool , I then used "Trim Gard" to finish it.

I used a variable speed jig saw on real slow speed no problem. I also left a little room to dress it up

RE: Windshield cutdown

you can order them off e-bay already cut down tinted lite dark or clear for around 30 $$$$ have used a few of them work great. that way you can put taller one back on for nasty days
