I have the 8.5 Klock Werks and it is perfect for me I can see over it easy at 5" 10" and there is no head buffeting at all.

Another vote for LRS, I personally like a polycarbonate (aka lexan) shield. They are much stronger, and thinner and fit between the inner and outer better than a thick acrylic. I think the "elite" line is the polycarbonate.

There are some good YouTube videos that test acrylic vs Lexan motorcycle shields. That's what sold me on the material

Just looked at the website, looks like they have a sale going now, they are $67.50. If your in a hurry for the shield, buy it from their amazon page, those are in stock and ready to ship. Last one I ordered from the LRS site took 3+ weeks to get.

My go to shield company though is klockwerks, I like the styling and they work well for me.
