cutting a windshield

Nicely done! Looks very clean.
Gladly...didn't notice any helmet buffeting at high speed but the biggest difference was a substantial reduction in wind noise in the helmet. Previously I would endure this crazy roar, that roar is now gone.
Shoulda done this a long time ago. The 2" taller than stock windshield I have on order will be used for long trips I suppose.
Yeah, once you put a larger windscreen on that moves the wind above your neck, you basically have to keep super-sizing it till the wind goes completely over and around your helmet to eliminate the buffeting. There's no in-between.
You basically only have two options: shortie to get clean air to the helmet, or a barn door to get a completely still bubble of air around your head. Most people do the latter, because they haven't figured out the former yet.

Ive never tried a pre-work “poop” before working on my bikes. Interesting tip, how did it help?
Bingo we have another winner. I have the taller shield for my killer. It hangs in my garage. I think your will too.
Not sure how tall the other screen is but I can't stand looking through the sheild. If I have to look through a shield it's jig saw time.

If you plan on just tossing the scratched one. I'll take it off your hands.

I'm not a fan of the stock screen, I think I'm cutting it down now. Mine looks like someone cleaned the top 3 inches with a brillo pad anyway.

I just picked up a used Vstream sport windscreen and for some reason it came with another stock screen. I now have 2 if you're still interested in one.If my memory serves me right... you have a Tracer

It's free if you want it. I'm in Barrie but I get all over Ontario frequently.

I'm good Iceman but thank you, my now-shortened stock screen is great and I had also (somewhat prematurely) ordered the V-Stream sport-touring which is 2" taller than stock, which unfortunately I probably won't use too often, if at all.I just picked up a used Vstream sport windscreen and for some reason it came with another stock screen.
