What do i do. I am a taller guy and my oem windscreen on my 01 gsxr is really getting annoying. I can see half the tach in my normal riding position, and I constantly leave the blinker on b/c I cannot see the flashing light…lol

So…

Do i spend the $80+ on an aftermarket double bubble

Or…

cut my windscreen and try to do a decent job while also looking like a stunterzzdbaggg.

I heard that gets a bit shaky…i was thinking about using one of the band saws in our schools woodworking shop. Masking tape where i want the cuts…draw it out, and cut. Then afterwards put a strip of something around the rough edge and adhere it with some sort of glue.

understandable, and that is one of my main reasons for wanting to buy one. However, either way it will come down to me buying one, i might as well cut this one up now and save a few bucks, then buy a double bubble further down the road.
