Default Looking for opinions. Clearview or Long Ride Shields?

I have a 2015 Slim. Last year I ordered the King Size Detachable Windshield that works with aux. lamps. I should have read into the descriptions further. I figured aux lamps were aux lamps. I ended up getting the Deluxe Aux. lamps where there turn signals are relocated. When I ordered the windshield kit from the dealer I also ordered a shield from Long Ride Shields. Well now the turn signals and shield are for sale. Being a short guy, the top of the Long Ride Shield was right in my line of vision. I started to get used to it. But now that I am selling it and I need to get the Nostalgic Windshield I thought I would look at different shields. I wondered if the 15 inch Clearview would be more suited for my height? I am looking for some opinions between the two.

I will attach a pic but for some reason I just cant figure out how to make it bigger and rotated.

Thanks
Eric

LRS is a stellar company to do business with. I'd send their shield back and pay to have it trimmed down. HTH.

I have 2 LRS shields in light tint, 1 is 16" when solo and a 20" for when wife is on which is 95% of the time. The 20 helps throw the wind over her but I do have to look through the top of it, but as long as mommas happy everyone is happy.

I have to get a completely different shield (mounting) because the current one doesn't fit so I need a different shield either way. I don't know if they would cut s recurved shield down when the order is placed?

Another option is look at Memphis Shades. They have numerous options.

Their instructions are terrible but their product is great.

Have you talked to LRS? I ordered the wrong shield from them, same situation I have the deluxe light bar on my Lo. It cost me a few bucks in shipping but it was a lot less than I would have lost trying to sell mine and buy another. Especially since I got it on one of their killer sales. They were very understanding and easy to deal with.
