Well, because they are cheap. The problem for me is I want to find the right size shield before I spend the big money for a form fitted shield. I can buy five cheap shields for the price of one good form fitted shield. Once I find that size I like, I will get me the $150 shield. However Long ride shields has just changed that line of thinking for me.

For RG ideas, i would like one that allows me to smoke a cigar while riding. 
Other than that, it should be clear, vary in size probably 8" - 16" tall, deflect the wind up and over the riders head and to the sides, and have a quiet performance on the freeway. So, i would say any of the above combinations that allows me to smoke a cigar while riding would be awesome.
By the way, your site looks cool. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the compliments on the site, trying to keep it simple yet appealing... still have some small bugs to squash.

looks like a great product.My 01 ultra has the 12" shield & with the tall rider seat is the perfect height for seeing over. Would the 10" give the same protection. How dark are the tints. It's hard to tell from the pics.

You know, that's a good point. It's not very clear on the website. I'll go through and update the shields section with tints as well. They're all there scattered around, but it'd be good to get them organized and labeled like we did with sizes.

The 10" should easily give you the same if not a little more deflection than a 12" without the flip.
