Hi Bill,
I have the same screen. I have done some drastic mods, but like it better now.
FIRST and foremost: Check the mounts and turn your front forks back and forth to make sure you don't get into the paint on your tank. Several folks have already found that out the hard way. I reversed the mount brackets on the windshield so the flange is on the outside. This relieved a lot of stress on the plastic. And yes, one of my lower bolt holes now wears a nice new shiny helicoil.
I used a rotary file in a drill to cut the mounting slots deeper. I cut into the upper ones a bit more to get the angle I wanted. Then, since I was looking "through" the screen, I got my rotozip saw with the circle cutting jig and clamped a piece of thin plexiglass to the front of headlight cutout. I cut my headlight hole 2" higher, so I could lower the windscreen by dropping the fork clamps. Of course I removed the plexiglass after using it to center my circle cutter.
I don't have lowers, so the buffeting is worse now. The bottom points on the screen are low enough now to come real close to lowers, if mounted. I am looking on ebay for some cheap lowers to use until I get a WindVest.
For now, this will have to do. The lowers kit for a Honda VTX1300 work on our bikes, right?
Ride Safe,
Dennis
