Well, I had to see this darn post.....
I got out my favorite cutting tool and went to town. A HDS 9 Gen 3 fits. It required a lot of trimming. No going back now. You could get it without trimming the lower lip, but it sticks up a lot. I didn't like it and took out a good chunk of the lip. It now sits about a 1/4" above the forward hump or wind screen. I may make a plate and take out the entire lip, I will run with this for a while and see if I want to change it. If I had it to do over again, I would hug the cable pass hole tighter. I tried to leave room so it would have some rigidity, but you have to bias the finder that direction to clear the top corner. For the record, I wasn't the guy who did the original cutouts. I'm assuming that it doesn't come from the plant looking that ugly.....
Wow, someone shouldn't be doing trimming.....
If the previous guy wouldn't have cut that hug divot on the right side above I wouldn't have had to ride so close to the upper right corner. This proved to be the real challenge in getting the finder down behind the wind screen. As I said, I would have liked to hug the cable pass through closer.
Without cutting the lip. Up too high for me.
Final cut before lower lip trip. You can see the pencil line of how far down I cut. This was before final filing, sanding and cleanup.
I finished after dark so no good photos. This was the last photo I took before getting it to drop down further. It ended up looking a lot better when it dropped down behind the wind screen.
