ORIGINAL: orcas tow
Masking tape all of it, mark it & cut it with a new fine hacksaw blade & file the edges with a fine file, I did my e glide & it looks better than new.

Here is a link to the DIY section on all the details to cut a windshield. It is easy, cheap, and it will not hurt your shield. I have cut several with no ill effects. https://www.hdforums.com/m_312103/tm.htm

RE: Cutting windshields down
I went with a 10" smoked Fast Aire shield. He has a website fastaire.com and also has an Ebay store where he lists them $4 cheaper to compete on Ebay with a screen name of fastairone. He is also a site member here, being renoglide. I paid less than $40 bucks with shipping and had it in two days. Better than cutting it for me. Plus I still have stock to put on if I want it back on.
