Got any pics of your cut down project?
I cut my 38 Lightning windshield down and went back with tinted Lexan. This was my winter project and it turned out pretty good.I went with 3/16" thick Lexan. I have a cut set of 1/4" thick Lexan that I couldn't get into the frame. Probably me. I'll sell to you for $150 shipped. I took 8" off my windshield.

Hey, jbooten. I spoke with Darrin today about the windshield. He seems like a nice guy. He will have his Fountain in town next week, and I'm planning to go over and check out his work.
I'm close to pulling the trigger!

Thanks guys for all the advice. Project is a no go now... I could've swore my windshield was plexiglass because when I look through it, I have a distorted view. Also have a scratch on a side glass. You know where assuming gets you... Found out yesterday it is glass. Will cost WAY more. I feel dumb now but I will admit when I'm wrong. Guess I'll find something else to do before the festivities. I am going to tint the windshield. Might paint the trailer as well! After hearing wind issues I'm not as disappointed.

Wish I could but oh well. Should be getting mine tinted this weekend but who knows?? (No one local wants to tackle it... I guess since they don't have a machine that cuts it out for them they don't want to or can't.

It really depends how tall you are. I'm 5"11 and I don't have a wind issue sitting down. I hate sitting with the seat flat or on the bolster, so I just purchased a good pair of wrap around sunglasses. I'm bypassed to the look of the low profile.

Personal preference. From the photo purple or yellow or orange. All depends on which color you want to focus on and make more dominant
