Added a few more (read "better") pics of the cut-down windscreen to my first post.
I must say that it is FANTASTIC! I'm thinking of going full time - i.e. touring (read rainy weather) and all with this screen.
If you have ever stood up on your footpegs, you get a nice blast of non-turbulent air, as you are in the airstream that is unaffected by fairings and screens etc - well this little mini screen gives a similar effect in the seated position (for my height and my 'built up' custom seat).
When raised, you still get that pocket of still air, although not the same quality, but I believe it will offer an adequate amount of protection against rain when required.
I have one more vid to add that I filmed whilst on the move of raising/lowering the screen.
I like!
