I have found the screen height to be right in my line of sight.Has anyone else found this and is there a way around this short of surgery.
There are options of course, but possibly not to your liking.
Obviously, the screen can't be adjusted up or down, as the headlamp goes through it. It will be possible to cut down the screen itself, but this is not for the faint hearted, and can go horribly wrong.
Here's one article on doing it:
http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/how-to-cut-down-motorcycle-windshields-safetyIt does the slopy shoulder on the key point of blade and speed choice. In my own experience, a blade designed for plastics and with fine teeth is needed, and the cut needs to be slow, so a variable speed jigsaw (or hand saw if you're skilled) is required. Too fast and the plastic melts, which isn't the end of the world, but makes finishing off much harder.
As an alternative, you could change the seat height.
One of our local guys fitted a pair of squash balls inside the coil springs to reduce compression, and possibly even that simple modification may take you up far enough.
I changed my seat on my Harley for a touring one, and had to buy a low profile screen as a result, so it doesn't take much.
Oh, and the really easy solution. Sell the existing fairing and screen for lots of money, and invest some of it in a universal screen. Won't look half as good though.
Hope that's some help.
