Here's one more option:
BaggerShield - http://www.baggershield.com/baggersh...table-p-5.html

After trying a few different LRS shields I like this because of the versatility. Just did a round trip from Webster, FL to Mobile, AL. I liked it short at 7.5" for the backs roads at around 63mph, but 11.5" for interstate at 78mph.

Just my $0.02!!!

I tried 3 different LRS shields and liked them, settled for Baggershield: http://www.baggershield.com/baggersh...table-p-5.html

Converts from 7.5" for around town and back roads to 11.5" for the interstate!

Just my$0.02!!!

Thx Kev! Can I ask how tall you are? At 6'2" I want to make sure I'm looking over it, and yet have the wind not hit me square in the head.

Also its polycarbonate which is much stronger than the lexan.

i'm 6' and have the FastAire 9" light tint recurve which is very good at directing air, bugs, etc. over me and GF.

I'm 6'4", riding the stock seat on 2003 Ultra. I used the video on LRS website as a guide to measuring, and the 9" shield comes to just under nose level. This way when I'm riding I'm looking over the windshield. As I said, the lack of wind in my face is amazing, but if I put my hand up over my head I can definitely feel the difference...
