[QUOTE="kmanflyer, post: 1418278, member: 91752"] I"m pretty sure the stock Yamaha shield is the shortest one. The Cal-Sci shorty is an inch taller than the stock. If you still have the stock one, cut that down in small increments until you find what you like. I have read that people who have done that did not care for it much, YMMV. For some reason the shape/curvature of the stock screen sucks no matter how short you cut it, or even coping the Cal-Sci vent hole. I have the large Cal-Sci screen, {which works great}, and 2 Yamaha Touring screens one of which I was going to cut down to stock-ish. size for the warmer month. But after further review I kind of lost my enthusiasm for the project. The L Cal-Sci I installed, 1 Y Touring came on the bike and has scratches all over it, 2nd Y Touring I got a steal of a deal on. So I was planning on chopping the scratched one. The Y Touring felt like someone pushing your head forward from behind. Very sucky IMO. Maybe you could experiment shimming the front, tipping the lip down, might be an option. Google search, windshield:fjrforum.com I know people have had good luck with changing the angle with various shields. Keep It Real!
