    Looking for pictures of bikes with a lowered windscreen or customization of the stock windscreen on a XB12s. Also for those that have lowed them for a more aggressive look is the only why to accomplish this is drilling new holes? If so what do you do with the old ones?

    It's not a great pic to show detail, but you get a sense of how low the windscreen sits when slid down 1 set of holes. Just plug the unused holes with black rubber/plastic plugs from the hardware store.

    I wrapped all plastics on the bike, didn't do anything to the wholes in front panel but only put wrap on top of it. No one noticed ...

    This is what I ended up doing...
    I think it finished it off, and looks good.

    @XL, you're running two windscreens? Interesting...

    I ordered an un-drilled tall windscreen from Zero G Outlet (these are zero g seconds and cheaper) then trimmed and drilled so it fits at the top like stock but is lowered for the angry eye look. Not such a good pic but you get the idea,

    Personally I like them lower but not the full distance to the second set of bolts. I just drill and tap the headlight bracket (super easy,) and re-use the holes in the stock windscreen.
    That helps keep that gauges covered as well.

    I've lowered my windscreen.

    I bought a new white windscreen



    Then taken some plastic plugs and super glue



    Then glued these plugs in the old holes







    Then made new holes to make the new windscreen lower and covered it by blue Plastidip with Metalizer and Glossifier



    Here is the result:
