roughly how much of a opening should there be between the top of the headlight and the cut out in the shield.

if i remember correctly, it's less than 1"

It kind of depends on what type of shield you have. I have a National Cycle Switchblade and it pulls down and forward toward the top of the headlight for removal. It comes off in about 3 seconds but requires a little bit of a larger gap that one that does not pull off.

depending on where you park---it should be about 20-30 feet

Big Al,
What are you talking about?

Big Al is referring to the distance between the bike and the "nearest windshield." He's a purist and won't put one on the bike...
Great joke there man! :lol:
If you think you have too much space you can get some of the smaller foam pipe wrap to fit around the inside edge of the shield to fill in the gap.

Have about a 1/4" around mine, less space means less air gets in and less "buffetting" problems later/somewhere else.
