I used a metal cutting bandsaw to get it close then the final shape on a belt sander. I rounded the edges a little with sandpaper when done and didn't bother polishing the edge because it matched the stock cut pretty well right off the sander.
Obviously the screen wasn't on the bike at the time...

I just cut down my Airflow windshield on the EV and I went with the Dremel with the hole cutting attachment and a straight edge (yard stick) clamped to the windshield. Worked great.

I use a grinder with a wafer metal cutting wheel.
Finish the edges with a random orbital sander.
Sabre saws make me nervous about vibration and cracking.
So do jigsaws!

That's what happen with my first attempt trying to cut wit a saber saw. Luckily I didn't cut off as much as I thought I needed and now it's just right. I'm looking over not through but still in calm air.
