Maybe let National Cycle "borrow" your shorty shield to use as a template for the base, like RICHB2 did for MADSTAD.
Since it really doesn't help you... Then you'd really see if it makes a difference being there or not.
That's what I had in mind, but only after I have something to replace it with--namely, the tall Honda shield. Frankly, after hearing what's involved, I am NOT looking forward to dismantling the fairing to swap out the shield any more often than I absolutely have to. As it is, I might pay my dealer to do it; at least they should be able to get everything back together again properly. I am STILL unable to get the cover over the battery to stay put, so it is making me nervous to do much more disassembly of the plastic parts. I used to do that all the time on the Gold Wing, but I never had any problem getting things to line back up again.
Once I have the new windshield on, I'll be glad to turn over the shorty one to National Cycle to use as a template. I don't care if I ever see it again, frankly…
