    OK here we go, yet another mod, trying to get my bike spot on for touring and comfort.
    I have just purchased the Dart screen and given it a good go. It looks good and is fine for short trips and has a good degree of wind deflection.
    However on a long run with intercom at speed you do have windage on the chest and disturbed sound quality.
    No good when we are off to Italy this Sept for 3 weeks.
    So back to the subject here is the mod.
    The standard screen was too tall for me and I hated looking through the screen when riding, I think it is dangerous.
    Took the plunge and cut the standard screen down. Pictures attached.
    If anybody wants any advice on how to proceed drop me a line.
    It is just fine now and the wind is directed over my helmet.:)
    Ken.

    I used an angle grinder with a very fine cutting disc when I did mine. Cut perfectly, preparation was crap :confused::confused::oops::oops:

    Jig saw with fine blade, the prep was the key to the good result.
    Well worth the effort.
