Nacademus,
Ya know...I never thought about doing that, but you might have something there.
I do know that the '08-'09 windscreens were shorter than the '10-14's.
If you just need a bit more height, you might find a stock '10-14 screen to do the trick.
I have an '11 model, and for me...it still wasn't tall enough.
So I went with the Cee Bailey's high dome ultra tour. All the way down, I get lots of air (and buffeting.) All the way up is great for heavy rain, wind, or the winter cold.
The only thing I've also run into concerning windscreens on a C14 is the black plastic pieces you see on each side. They're pretty flimsy, yet 2 of the 3 bolts pass through them on each side.
I've found them broken twice now, and had to glue them back together.
The taller windscreens seem to put more stress on the attachment points, and those plastic pieces break easily.
I wonder if you were to shim them outward if you might run into the same problem?
JAT... but I do see where you're coming from by changing the angle of the screen a bit.
Might be worth a shot?
