Peder_y2k Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 c'mon Zollars......we can't read your mind.....there's no way to tell from your posting, or your public profile what kind of bike you want a short windshield for. Why make us do all the work when all you need to do is type a few words to inform us. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA
peterg Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Hi Zoller When I bought my 83 Goldwing (in 04) it had one of those monster, almost over your head windshields with a vent in it. I rode around a bit carrying an erasable felt marker, and marked where I would prefer the top to be. Then I masked off where I thought I'd like it, and rode around some more. Eventually I decided on the height and shape, marked the windshield, and cut it off with a mini-grinder. I used a palm sander to finish the edge, and it looks (I think anyway) great. It's hard to tell without close inspection, that it isn't the original top edge. I already had the tools, so it didn't cost me a nickel, and I got exactly the height I wanted. Just a thought Peter
retiredgolfer Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I bet if you check around you will find someone in your area that cuts windshields down for a lot less cost than buying another one.
Cheesehead in flatland Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Anyone on here have a shorter windshield they would like to sell. I really dont like looking through the shield and money is tight. I just replaced the original windshield from my 2003 RSV with a F4. If you want to cover the cost of shipping, it's yours. This way you can experiment with cutting a windshield and not risk too much. I won't be able to do anything until sometime after July 7. Let me know if you're interested.
