Default real SPORT WINDSHIELD

On my 01 F4i i'd like a dark smoke windshield that stops at the top of the fairing---in other words, i'm looking for a windshield that isn't tall but still has the double bubble outward curve to it but i cant find one---i saw one in a you-tube clip but cant find it---it looks like the guy chopped down the windshield but maybe they sell them like that??

That pic is of an 03-06 RR. The front cowl is different than our F4i, false advertisement. Most people buy ZG's then cut them down. Haven't seen any aftermarket screens that come short and flush with the cowel like what your looking for. Unless someone can post up the link here?

You have to cut it yourself. They don't come like that precut for the f4i

Here's a link to axsys's chopped ZG.....I personally think chopping it makes it looks too short and akward for our F4i's front cowl..It looks suitable for the RR bc the cowl comes up further!

i really want to see a double bubble chopped instead of the stock even tho the stock looks good imo..if i were to chop it i would cut it curved up at the top a little instead of perfectly going straight across...still looks great

Well you just may be able to see it...I have been thinking about cutting down my Zero Gravity clear Double Bubble for some time now. I am not cutting it flush with the top of the cowl as I think it looks too short but rather I plan to just follow the same rounded cut and take off a few inches! Ill post pics when I do it

Here it is, ZG DB stock height, just want to take it like 2 inches down
