I thought about taking it to a window shop to have it cut. But after viewing the video, I decided to try it myself. I was afraid of cracking it with the saw, but all went well. I spent more time cleaning and polishing than I did with cutting and sanding. Your video saved me a bunch of coins.
Your effort is well appreciated. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Pupule Rider) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/64112 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:49:38 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/58409/t/We-cut-my-shield-down.html#reply-58409

I had put a Memphis Shades PopTop small shield on my VLX 600, and I loved it because it was just enough to take the pressure of the wind off my head and chest, but there was still quite a bit of noise. It sounds like we've had similar experiences with windshields.

I am glad that you knew what you wanted to do with your windshield. I have not done so. On my previous bike I installed a sport windshield to take some of the wind off of my chest and make the rides less fatiguing. And it did the job just great. When I bought the Tourer last year it came with a Clearview oversized... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (alepel) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/58392 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 15:36:37 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/58391/t/We-cut-my-shield-down.html#reply-58391
Thank you for your comments, the vids take awhile to put together, but they are a great way to keep track of the steps during projects we've completed. We started shaping my seat today, so perhaps the next vid will be the rebuild of the seat...if not, then I'll just be adding pics to my T's page of the paint progress soon. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (eclecticdawn) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/58391 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 14:32:45 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/58389/t/We-cut-my-shield-down.html#reply-58389
I need a higher windshield. Can I have your discarded piece of windshield, the one that looks like a toenail? Can you recommend a stable way to attach the piece you give to me to put on my windshield?

Is that the same way you cut your toenails?

Now for another not-funny. You do good work! ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Fredrider) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/58389 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 13:37:12 GMT http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/58384/t/We-cut-my-shield-down.html#reply-58384
PS. I moved to VA from St. Pete/Largo last January - I sure miss Fort Desoto and our FL friends! But the mountain roads here are superb, and a heck of a lot less traffic than Tampa area.
