Not to mention a great warranty. I had my shield develop hairline cracks around two mounting holes after a month of riding. I emailed them some pics and they sent out a new shield the very same day.

I have used many shields from different manufacturers and long ride shield has beat them all.Quality,price and support are second to none.I have a 9 inch and a 12 inch ultra elite shields.The 9 inch for around town on hot days,works great lots of air flow. but on long trips the 9 inch is a little low.After hundreds of miles the wind and or rain gets old,thats where the 12 inch works great.Although i am 6' 2 " and looking at the top edge,it works great on windy or rainy days. This winter i may pick up a 11 inch shield and that should be the sweet spot for all riding.

Quick and cheap way is to find a plexiglass company near your location and cut it down to the height that you want. I did that to my ultra years ago, and it was a great result.

Usually they'll do it for $25 or 30 bux.
Shield fitament is crucial though.
It should hit you between your upper chin and upper mouth.
That way you can duck in under it if necessary.
Example;
I'm 5'10" HD Hammock Seat
9" is perfect for me.
