[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 251337, member: 1875"] If you look up my old thread on making the cutouts, you will find fairly explicit instructions on the process. But my cutouts were carefully tested and sized for the CB +4 with flip. The stock OEM shield is much smaller and would work best with a smaller size opening and perhaps even a different shape. Sorry, but I don't have an 05 anymore to test with. You might PM LuvToRide and ask her to give you the exact measurements of the cutouts. She is the new owner of the coveted "cutout shield". Just FYI and IMO, the shape of the opening does matter. I did some brief experimenting with a round hole on a different shield and found that the turbulence on the air passing through the opening was much greater. I designed the openings to channel the air up and toward the middle, to avoid so much turbulence on the hands and grip areas. My cutouts will not get your hands wet in rain etc. I studied a lot of bug splatter to tweak the design. :) Good luck! Jeff [/QUOTE]
