windscreen cut

[diesel]

has anyone cut their windscreen, and if so what did you use to cut it down. i'm thinking something like a grinder as opposed to a jig saw so there is less vibration.

post kats buy a used EX500 windscreen. trace the bottom shape of the kat windscreen onto the ex500 screen, cut it out and bolt it on.
mine is held on with the lower center bolt and a hevy zip tie on the sides.

I did a chop like you are talking about originally. I just used a dremel tool with a cut off wheel. below are a few pictures.

If you don't mind taking off your fairings, and spending a few extra bucks (around $40) you should go with the Ninja EX500 screen like Hardly Dangerous is talking about. It looks much better.

I cut mine with a jigsaw and cracked it right in half. The second one I cut, I used a high-speed cut off wheel and it worked great. Then just some light sand paper on th edges.

I used an angle grinder on my pre-kat windscreen as a temp. set up before I took the cluster apart. Then used a bit of sand paper to even it down.
