RE: [ST] Shorter windscreen
I've never used it for a windshield, but I have used my "RotoZip" on plastic
and it works great. If you live in the L.A. area bring it over and you can
use it. The trick with a rotoZip is to scribe a line and then follow it
verrrrrrry slooooowly.
A dremel might work if you have a -router type foot attachment or guide- for
it. However, if you use either of them on plastic at a high RPM the plastic
will melt. Oh yeah, almost any plastic shop will cut it for you. Val

Subject: [ST] Shorter windscreen
After getting used to all the great things to like, I finally came upon a
nit that seems to be growing by the day into a full-fledged bitch.
The windscreen is just a tad too tall, putting the airflow right on the
helmet vent. Also, the upper body doesn't get neutrally buoyant until above
80'ish. It seems I need to move the windblast down just an inch, maybe two,
to get that to work.
What's the accumulated wisdom on aftermarket windscreens? Has anyone tried
cutting theirs? I have a table saw and a pretty well equipped woodworking
shop.

(1100 miles in 10 days, 500 miles overdue for that 600 mile service tomorrow
morning. This is edging beyond obsession. Yes, I changed the oil at 600
miles; just try finding an oil filter and 4 liters of 4T on a Saturday
evening. :-)
