Rather than buy a new one, I suggest that you take off your stock one and take it to a windshield outfit and have them cut it to 10 inches for you.
They shouldn't charge you much more than a $20.
The windshield should hit you between the chin and the nose.
At least that's where mine is.

I just purchased this..they are selling like hot cakes and at that price (35.00) seems you can't go wrong. Also life time warranty. If it turns out to be Junk not an Issue for me. This guy has 100% rating and over 3000 feedback ..

If you're lucky you may find a dealer that has a couple demo windshields you can try.I tried a Klock Werks "wave" 6.5,8.5 and a Slip Streamer 7" before I ended up deciding what I really needed was an 8" and bought a LRS 8" The Klock Werks 6.5 had terrible buffeting, the 8.5 worked great but just looked too weird and was a tiny bit too tall. The 7" had some random buffeting but was not too bad kinda felt like not having a windshield.The LRS 8" is still not perfect I get some buffeting but I think it's as good as it's going to get for me with a shield I can look over.Just want to add one more thing find somewhere safe to keep your stock while your testing all the other ones I scuffed the hell out of my stock one hauling it around in my tour pack.

1) definitely do the "tape on the stock clear shield" exercise to determine the proper height
2) you can cut down the factory shield, but the recurve shields offer you 2" higher protection than a flat shield of the same height...plus you can get a tint if you like
3) I don't recommend any of the acrylic shields; they are cheap but they are 3X easier to scratch and 15X weaker. I made that mistake the first time around and won't be using anything but polycarbonate from here on in.
4) I received good service from LRS but they don't make a polycarbonate recurve in the size I needed. I ordered from Jim at Fast Aire and couldn't be happier.
