Stock windshield height on a 1500 is 21 1/2" from the top of the rubber strip on the windshield garnish, to the top of the shield.

I know that Crescent Moon Cycles sells 1200 windshields. I just left their shop 1/2 hr ago. They probably sell 1500 windshields also. Here is their # 928-759-0334
They quoted $80 for the 1200 windshield. I had it in my hands, but may buy the wraparound version instead(also had that 1 in my hands). They quoted me $138. They were both shorter than mine. It's nice living 10 miles from a Classic Goldwing shop :action:
I'm in the same boat. I have too tall a windshield and mine looks so scratched up, it's hard to see at night with headlights glaring on it.

I'm going to make a shorty shield out of my present one after I buy a new one. That way, I can feel like I'm in a blast furnace when riding in Phoenix :badgrin:

Takes the right tools and a bit of skill to trim a windshield without marring it, and to produce a finished edge that looks somewhat professionally done. I trimmed my OEM windscreen shorter so I could look over it. I drew a line using a fine tip permanent marker onto the front side of the windscreen where I wanted it trimmed to. To do this I measured down and recreated the exact same curvature. I then protected the windscreen by using several layers of masking tape... under the marked line, and trimmed the excess windscreen off using a mini bandsaw. I then finish sanded, to the line, using a bench sander, and then dressed and radiused the edges a little by hand using fine sandpaper. The finished result was better than the OEM edge. This is one method... there's likely many ways to do this and achieve a decent result. If you don't have the tools or the skills to do this, personallyI'd recommend you take your windscreen to someone who does.
