Just took the maiden ride on my new FLHT. This is my first bike with a windscreen. I find that the stock windscreen needs to be lowered about 1 to 1 ½ inch. Looking at the service manual removal seems simple enough & I was intending to have a quality windshield glass shop remove the height by cutting and re-shaping the bottom. Is this the way to go? Any unknown issues?

Damn, Hippo. That was easy, Owe you one, thanks

Re: FLHT

I have an FLHT on order. What are you likes and dislikes about yours? Why did you pick the FLHT?

I know that there is always those that will be attracted to the FLHT since it is perhaps the very best cost / product deal HD has to offer. I just plain love just about everything about that bike, period. I like the look of the silver engine, love the look of the hard boxes without the pizza box, fairing adds a month each side of the season here in upstate ny. I have no use for a radio, would probably order anything else in black anyway. In short, very happy! Now, the stock windscreen was a little high, took more time to muster up the nerve then to actually do something about it. And I know I may be opening up a bag of worms, but I don’t think I’d mind if it had FI, but it doesn’t, and that’s ok.

It does need some new pipes. HD may have to meet tight gov. standards, I don’t. Haven’t discovered which pipes yet. Don’t want anything that loud, but I’d like to here it a little. I guess the pipes / air cleaner / jet upgrade are on the short list, but that’s about it.
