Default High Quality Short Shield

I'm looking for a high quality shield for a batwing. Needs to be 4 or 5" and would like a recurve. I have looked a Long Shield and Freedom but they don't seem to make anything that short. I tried a cheap 6" off ebay but it distorts my vision badly and is still to tall. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The stock shield for a street glide is 4"; check with your local dealer for a take off. Or check the stock take off section in the market place on this forum. Good luck in your search.

Some dealers offer a "try before you buy" program which includes windshields and seats. See if any of your local dealers offer that.

If you're looking for high quality, take another look at Freedom Shields, they make a 5".

FWIW, my OEM Street Glide shield is 5".

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll look into them. I do see Freedom has a 5" clear that just may fit the bill.
