This is the second bike I have done this too and have been happy both times with the outcome. I am not one for big plastic fairings so this is one option to minimize what you have on the Firebolt for a minimal price. Well it is pretty straight forward. I used a wax pencil to draw out my line which is just 2 3/4" down from the top all across the top then arched to your own desire. Then I used a Dremmel with the black cutting wheels. I found it easier and quicker to use 2 cutting wheels on top of each other which helps with the strength of the wheels. Then after cutting I used the Sander wheel to touch up and smooth out. Finally I used a bit of touch-up paint where needed. 1.Tools 2.Line 2 3/4" down 3. Cut it 4. Touch it Up. 5. Done Before and After

One thing to keep in mind is you do have more wind hitting you at higher speeds, but this does still allow enough to tuck your chin behind which still allows you to get out of the wind in a tuck.
