if you want a shorter shield than the 12'' mako, take a look at the 12'' wind splitter. because of the angle that the shield sits at, it comes out about 1-1/2'' shorter than the mako. it does look better as well.

however, it doesn't work as well. so, you're giving up one thing for another.....

i'm sure you've seen it before, but here's a google pic...

On my 2015 RGS I have a 6.5" Memphis Shades spoiler windshield I use around town. Works great and the lip blows most of the wind up over my head.
