Need Cee Bailey Measurement

[Selden]

Recently, I cut down my Cee Bailey #2 +4.5" windshield slightly, taking the height mostly off the middle. Unfortunately, I didn't take a measurement before the mod, so I'm not sure exactly how much I took off. Current measurement is exactly 18" from the top center of the shield to the top of the air slot. Can someone with one of these shields give me a stock measurement for reference purposes?

 

I'm very pleased with the result -- much better visibility in the twisties, a little better ventilation in hot weather at lowest position, but still enough screen to provide good protection and no buffeting when raised an inch and a half.

 

If I were to do this again, I would probably put a quilt over the bike, and attack the shield with an orbital sander with the shield in place. I used a bandsaw for initial cut, then smoothed it out with the sander, but acrylic is so soft that I could have done everything with the sander alone. Doing the work with the shield in place would have given me a better idea of when I reached the ideal height. Wet sand with increasingly fine grades of sand paper, then polish, and it's impossible to tell that any cutting has been done.

sounds like you just converted it to a "euro-cut" version.

I have the #2 + 4.5 Euro and it measures 18 5/8". Hope this helps...
