Default Windshield height suggestions

So I'm thinking about getting a windshield for the longer trips. I like the Memphis Del Rio which is 15" high, and I'm 5'5". I'm thinking because I'm not too tall the short shield height shouldn't be a problem. I just don't want to buy something that ends up being too short vs a taller one and just cut it down. Any imput would be great...especially from someone close my height and what shield they use. Thanks!

As long as it's above your mouth , but below your eyes you'll be fine,since you can't view the one you want until you get it buy longer and cut ,just to be on the safe side.
