I was thinking of lowering the windscreen on my XB12s and was wondering if anyone out there has done the same. I am sure its a pretty simple task, simply drill new holes; but I was wondering if there might be anything out there to fill the old holes. Any help would be appreciated.

I like the look of it sitting lower over the top of the headlights.

Pretty much just for cosmetics, looks and such. I understand it would probably make an already useless windscreen even more useless but meh, looks are sometimes paramount.

I just cut the top of mine down so that it is level with the top of the instrument housing. (But shaped it to match).
If you lower it, you'd have to trim the bottom anyway?!
There is a more noticeable gap looking down into the 'electrics' area, but it has an overall smaller profile from the front and side.
I am still waiting for it from the painters, so no picture just yet.

I actually think the stocker is a bit too big!!

Its not so much about the top of the windscreen as it is the bottom; I was hoping for a look where the windscreen covers a bit of the headlights.
