Skillet: Thanks a lot for the pics. you did a good job on the cutout. I think I am going to go with cutting the top down though rather than the cutout. I think that the overall shape of the screen means that to move it down you have to mount it more upright (I'm saying this based on looking at your pic of your brackets vs mine).
For sure I will have to cut it though. I am just back from americade including a few stints in the rain - you just don't want to do that with a screen you look thru. It's not really the rain itself, you might tolerate that - it's the road crud on your screen, visor, glasses - berry berry bad.
Thanks again, I hope to learn from your efforts. I do recommend the lowers - they're excellent.
To everyone else, the MS 19 is WAY TOO TALL unless you're paul bunyan or something. Also, the MS screens are handsome, they do fit, but they are not made for our bikes. The upright speedo and the headlight position are issues. try to get a good look at one on a bike and think it through.
