Take the three windshield screws out, and start pushing the shield down into the Fairing until you get it where you want it. Mark the shield through the screw holes, slide the shield out and drill new holes in the shield where you marked it.

Great idea! If I have trouble with distortion etc, now I know a fix. With my sundowner seat (used solo) I am looking just above it but with the stock seat (with wife) I have plenty of clearance. I did notice the distortion when looking down at the lines/road directly in front of the scoot. If nothing else this will help to train me to look further down the road where I should be looking anyway.

Oh sure, make it sound so reasonable and simple. Thanks for the insight!
