Cutting Down your Windshield

[SilvrT]

I found that the top edge of my stock windshield was right in my line of sight and I either had to stretch my neck and/or sit up straighter to look over it or slouch down a lot to look thru it. Was a real PITA so I decided to cut it down 2 inches.

 

Here's a "blow-by-blow" pics for anyone interested in the process.

On my 84 gl1200 I did the same and on my 83 gl1100 i desiced to cyut from the bottom and I was very happy.

i cut 2 inches off the bottom , but then had to make the mounting holes in a higher position and the slots had to be made longer.
