8 " taller windscreen on a Standard

I have a Cee Bailey 4"over. I went on a 2400 mile trip after installing it. I found that looking through the WS was annoying. When I got home, I removed it and sent it back and asked them to cut in down by 2 inches-- much better now. Guess it's individual taste. Be sure you wax it if you get one. We hit quite a bit of rain on our trip. Waxing it helped me see better and protected the plastic from small scratched. Cee Bailey told me that would be the best way to protect it.
 
If you don't mind Rocket Scientist, please post a picture of your modified lowers.

Certainly ! Here is the original template I made.

It's a modified Triumph lower. I traced this onto plexiglass. This configuration caused exhaust gas to get pulled up behind the windshield. Because making them out of plexi is very time consuming, I made another pair out of plywood for test purposes. I would have taken pictures if I'd known that this was going to turn into an adventure. I tried about a dozen configurations, bigger, smaller, holes, louvers, deflector plates etc. before I found one that got rid of the majority of buffeting and didn't try to fumigate me.
This what I ended up with. They are the original template cut in half.






These worked the best. I've put about 15,000 miles on these and am happy with them.
I have since changed from tors to Maddog exhaust. They dump closer to the ground so when the weather warms a bit I'm going to make a full sized set out of plywood again and see if it still acts like a gas chamber.

You can see in the picture I have my Stebel horn out. I had it facing forward behind the Buck Rogers horn cover but it got rain in it and wrecked it. I'm going to face it backwards this. I don't think it will kill the sound much. I've heard them mounted under the side cover and they are still loud as hell. I mounted my lowers using a windshield fixing kit I bought on eatmebay. I like the looks better than the clamps that come with the Triumph lowers. I can send you (and anybody else who wants one) a paper copy of the template. I have the one in the picture for sure. I'm pretty sure I still have one for the accessory Triumph lowers as well. The stock Triumph lowers didn't work well for me. The windshields come cut out for the accessory running lights. That's where I find most of the buffeting air comes from. My design helps fill that area. You do have to trim a little where it goes by the lower triple tree.
