Windshield measurement please....

[uhfradarwill]

I finally got around to cutting about 1.5" off the top of my windscreen today. The top edge was cutting directly through my eye line unless I slumped down or had excessive correct posture like Pee Wee Herman on his bicycle. Now I can easily see over it and the road ahead of me at around 35'.

 

The thing is that my windscreen is a Slipstreamer not factory as I had assumed it was.

I can buy a NOS Yamaha screen for $99 and will if it is shorter than the Slipstreamer was as I don't want to cut a new screen.

 

Could someone please give me a measurement from the top of the front chrome to the top of a stock windscreen?

 

Thanks

Will

 

PS I noticed very little change in buffeting and the air just grazes the top of my helmet in the new configuration.

Measuring from the top of the shield to the cut-out is 17 1/2". I have an OEM screen (that came with the bike - they also sold a shorter OEM screen) that I'm not using so couldn't give you an accurate measurement to where the chrome trim would fit.
