Also, I don't think the HD shields are angle adjustable. Either way I'll definitely try out your method. In turn I will also bring down the lowers more. How much clearance to do you recommend for the headlight - shield gap? Thanks.

I just lowered the windshield as low as the QD clamps would let me, there is about a 1/2" gap left between the headlight and shield, but that's as low as I could get.

My 18" shield is also HD and I just loosened the top bracket (it's slotted) and pushed it forward about 1/2" -5/8" or so. You will also need to loosen the bottom bolts, in order to get it to move. Takes just a minute or two to do.
