I swear by Long Ride Shields. Had two on my RGU and now running them on my Limited.

Just go with a stock RGU one will work just fine. Those short shields they put on the RG are just for looks anyway worthless really. Most of the fancy so called recurve ones are really nothing special either . Just sound cool to say it.
Stop by a Dealer they will let you demo every thing they have good way to try before you by. Did that with my 2017 RGU got what I wanted.

I did the HD 15" Light Smoke on mine. Not the best windshield but is OK. It is somewhat thin and Vibrates. Scares me when I clean it that it might break. I put a hand on both sides when wiping it off. Other than that, it has taken a couple of rocks and some miniature terrordactyles for me and is no worse for the wear.
I have only been caught out in a light rain and it did OK, not sure how it would do in a heavier rain.
I am 6' and the shield is just either a little too tall or a little too short and top is right in my sight line. If I sit a little lower or if I straighten out I can do the under/over thing.
I think it looks OK on the bike. It does not look obvious or out of place.
Overall not bad. As someone said above HD has loaners you can try out.

I have a Klockwerks. It looks good, but doesn't do much more than the stock one.

I had one made by this guy... http://www.7jurock.com/store/index.p...&productId=392

I put on the stock sheild, and made a cardboard "extension" so I could figure out the exact height that I wanted. (This shield follows the stock profile) Then had it made to my exact desires. It actually looks great and works great too. Mine ended up being 11" I think. Price was right too.

12" freedom shield re-curve dark tint. I'm 5' 8" 32" inseam.. Great shield! 2016 CVO RGU.. Make sure you can look over the top comfortably. Freedom shield will let you test them as long as you don't remove the protection..

I'm confused... So the stock RGU one will work fine, but... which one did you end up wanting/getting?

I currently own four different windshields.

The stocker
A 14" Klock Werks Sportsflair
A 10" Dark tint "LRS" Long Ride Shield Stingray.
A 13" Medium tint "LRS" Long Ride Shield Stingray.

The stocker is maybe ok during the summer months.

The 14" Klock Werks Sportsflair is a great shield but with my 16" apes, I can't lock my steering because it hits the bars.

Now the 10" & 13" LSR windshields have been great all the way around.
My bars don't hit and I can lock the steering.
The wind goes over the top of my half helmet and for me the LRS's have been great, and the price can't be beat.

Good luck finding the correct windshield for you.

The picture down below is my 10" dark tint LSR Stingray windshield.
