i have a stock screen i send you if you cover shipping and packing materials. its not perfect...some blemishes/scratches. i guess it depends on how flawless you want it to be.

as for your question, i would use a dremel with a cut off wheel. put some masking tape over your cutting area and draw the best cut line you can on that tape. after the cut, use some fine sandpaper to clean up any rough spots.

you can get car door edging from auto zone for a few dollars to use on the edge once you cut it.

Exactly how I cut mine. Came out very good.

I'm curious, which version did you purchase, the "Racing Windscreen" or the standard? I'm currently looking to buy the racing varient, and have the same aversion to a tall windscreen. :(

If high screen is bothering you cut it down to top of fairing braces
then add some vinyl to black it out
