Here's mine. Tinted and cut down 4".

[smg id=349]

I used another stock shield to trace the outline of the top of the shield to the shield that I wanted to cut down. I used my bandsaw to do the cutting and then a file and wetsandpaper to clean up the edge.

After I covered my windshield with masking tape I tied a piece of string to a pen and held it at the bottom center of the windshield and made an arc.
I cut it with a plastic cutting blade on a jig saw and sanded the edge to finish it. If you heat the cut lightly with a propane torch it makes a nice finished edge.
I am going to paint it black on the inside. It is for summer only, full down the air hits your waist, full up air is at the bottom of the helmet.

This is exactly how I did mine and it looks to be the same size as well. The torch along the edge is the trick to getting a factory edge when you are done. Mine was painted black on the backside. Loved the airflow results. You will want a large shield for really cold weather.
No, really, she is the best and I can prove it...

The inside of the screen isn't totally flat so you'll have problems with the tint film.

I've been told it won't stick to plastic, but haven't tried it myself...  :-\

I used a tinting spray, might as well have just painted it. Mine is cut low enough that even in the full up position, it doesn't block any view of the road.
