LRS Stealth - Help

Well gents, I need some help. I got my 10" Light Tint Stealth today and it looks like because my 14" Wild ones aren't wide enough that the edges of the shield are making contact with the bars. In my idiocy I figured that a tiny amount of clearance would be enough without being an issue. I was wrong. 1/4 out of the driveway and as the windshield vibed it started making a tapping on the bars. I guess the short answer would be to move the bars back, but these bars already have a huge pullback. Sould I take an angle grinder to the parts that are making contact and just shave it down? Sell the shield? Trade with someone else? Junta little pissed at myself for not realizing that was gonna be an issue. Aid gentlemen, aid.

I regularly cut down H-D windscreens with a rotozip- but on the bottom, hidden edge where it's easy.

Get ahold of LRS maybe. He uses this forum.

in the short term, bars back a tad

I have the same bars. I have the LRS bagger windshield.. It works fine. I was going to get the stealth, but thought about the same issue. Contact LRS, they might help you out.

That is definitely a bummer! No worries though. If you like, send it on back to me, and I'll swap it out for an Ultra or Flat Top that won't be an issue. If you like the looks of the Stealth, I would say try to pull back the bars a bit more if you can, and still be comfortable. I have to say, I've seen the Stealth/Apes setup before from a guy on here, and the combo looked amazing. As if they were made for each other. However, if you like, send it on back to me. Just pm or email me and let me know its coming, and of course, what you want for the replacement.
Sorry for the delay in responding on here.

I put a stealth on with my 16s and had the same issue I want to keep the stealth so I used a heat gun and worked the part touching to have a 1/2 gap worked for me I put a towel under the glass and on the bar go slow works good
