I'd try Harleys 'demo program' first, it might be a cheap fix for ya. I've settled on a 'Windvest', smoked, 13". When its chilly out, I'll put my stocker back on until it warms, then go with the shorty. It gets expensive trying a lot of combos.
At Sturgis the 'Windvest' guys let me try a couple of different sizes as demos. That saved me from buyers remorse...

Those Madstads are suppose to be the "Cats Meow!"
However, with my 10" Windvest, Black engine guards deflectors, fork "dog dish" deflector and lowers on my scoot, it must be "A dogs best friend!"
I have no problem with bad wind, can hear my tunes, etc. and looks much much better then some other shields. (Not naming names)
Not knocking anyone, that's why there's chocolate & vanilla.

6'2". 12"Windvest for me. Put over 100k on 2 different road glides. I've found this shield to be best balance of form and function.
I also have the little wind deflectors that clip on your crash bar. I didn't find them to be life changing, but then they didn't cost an arm and a leg either.

I'm using the KW 12". I am very happy with the amount of wind I get, I can feel it just at the top of my head. I also have the clip on pieces at the crash bar, chrome semi circle under the triple tree and lower fairings. I think the combination of them all works out good...
