Trimming windsheild

[ReaperSRX]

I have a cobra 15" shield for my SRX 700, i just want to trim off the top part that is flipped straight up(less than 2"), had any body ever tried to cut a windsheild, i thought i would just use my dremmel to cut, i like how it's flare on the sides but its a little to high and buckles at high speeds..........Reaper

My Bravo has a cut down windshield...I didnt do it but it was done using a dremmel type tool. Make sure you use the right bit so you dont melt it. Mine turned out fine. Good luck.

I have a scratched windshield on my 01' SXR that I cut 4" off of. I used a drywall side cutting bit in my dremel tool. I measured it and taped it off then used a sharpie to mark the lines. I then sanded and paintedthe back side to hide most the scratches and tried to make a cool "X" games "X" in the middle. That did not work so well but I have used it for two seasons now and I have not had too many negative remarks. Let em see if I got a photo of it. Found one, this is before I completed the install of my 6" riser. Doug

we have one of those bullet heaters in the garage just warm up the plastic after you have marked it,and cut it with a tin snips it works really good

Will i be able to re-use the trim, i should come off with a little work right?

 

[NY_SXR700]

thats all I did was re-use it. You will have to cut it to length as your new one will most likely end up shorter. I used rubber contact cement and it worked great.
