    I’ve seen it done with a dremel (cut off wheel) and blue painters tape. The guy didn’t even remove it from the bike….

    Cut mine down a couple of weeks ago. Just used a razor knife and made several cuts until I was deep enough to snap it off. Re drilled the holes and was good,to go

    I’m sure it can be done, but why not just go on eBay and pick a shirt l short one from there?

    I have had mine done but by the shop were I bought it. If they break it they have to replace it. Just saying.

      Lexan (polycarbonate) shouldn’t break, if it breaks it is most likely Acrylic

    Mask the area to be cut with blue tape and use a cut off wheel in a die grinder, smooth the edges out with a file and sandpaper. Should you need to redrill your holes run the drill backwards to melt it through rather than risk the flutes grabbing and breaking the lexan.

    I was planning to cut mine. I ended up finding a good one at a decent price. A friend cut his old lady’s windshield down for her so I spoke with him about the process. It’s actually really easy. Don’t use a dremel. Use a jigsaw with a fine tooth blade ( like a metal cutting blade). Take your time. After cutting to desired length use various degrees of sand paper to round the edges.

    i bought a dark shorty windshield but kept the stock one because on trips at interstate speeds the shorty will blow the hell outta you and harder to hear music, put shorty on for around town

    It it doesn’t shatter from the stress, it will make a buzzing noise when you ride it, you also run the risk of breaking those cheap support bracket inside the fairing from the vibration.
