.Has anyone tried to cut (or have a plastic shop cut) a vent in a stock windshield?
Meh. I put two vents in a large Vetter windscreen a long time ago. The benefits were, IMHO, wishful thinking. A few square inches of opening isn't going to do a big job of filling the volume behind the windscreen. Sorry.
If air curling around the windscreen is a problem, better to think about deflecting "wings" that mount along the side of the windscreen. Personally, I think they look rather hokey, but that's just my opinion.
In general, the biggest problem I've encountered is the windscreen area making a nice sail for snagging side winds and being pushed around by turbulent air from 18-wheelers. Not much to be done about that.
You can go to an aviation supply house and get the 3 1/4in pop out vents that are an exact replacement for the round vents used on the Vetter fairing windscreens. Carefully cutting the holes is not a big problem if you have the correct size hole saw for your drill.
