Default Wind shield with 7" headlight?

What wind shield did you guys use with the 7" headlight? I have the touring shield that fits on the Dyna but it does not look right around the headlight. it fits because I have the extended mount, but it does not look symmetric. Just want to replace the plastic not the mount. Appreciate your help and advice.

Will a hd quick detachable compact windshield fit a superglide with a 7" headlight?

If the headlight is too big for the cut-out, simply enlarge the opening.

Just use masking tape around a wide area, draw your cut lines on it and trim it about 1/16" inside the lines, a saber saw with a fairly fine and skinny blade will do. You can use a file, dremmel, sanding drum or whatever to take it the rest of the way. Finish up the edges with some sandpaper.

Just be careful that you don't tear through the tape with the saw's feet and make scratches.

Buy Joe's and swap out the plastic then re-sell his for a $0 investment.

Thanks for the info! Im guessing a fine tooth blade for cutting metal would be the best choice?
