A tall screen is not OEM for the Vaq, so a previous owner has replaced it with either Kaw OEM for a Voyager, or with an aftermarket screen.

Either way, it's easier to put a little masking tape on and ride, to assess the height you want the screen, then measure that height and cut the bottom of the screen, not the top... That way there's not so much sanding and shaping to do, and less opportunity that any mistakes you make are right there for you to look at every time you ride. Cut it a few inches at a time & try it out if you want to use a cautious approach.

Voyagers have a chrome trim covering the bottom of the screen. You can always put one of those on to cover any imperfection. Paint it black or wrap it if you need to.

I did all that with my OEM Kaw screen, which was far too high - I need to look over, not through - especially in bad weather... Then I put an aftermarket screen on anyway, a 12" Windvest which I later put a Goldwing vent in. Huge improvement over OEM.
