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.
Take a look at WindVest, you can call and talk to the owners. They will make you a happy rider. They also sell trim pieces too! http://windvest.com/products/products.html
I picked up a 9" Ultra-elite from Long Ride Shields about a month ago and love it. Light tint is perfect, and its amazing how I can look over the shield but dont feel any buffeting from the wind.
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.
I have found that the Fastaire windshields have been the best shield for most purposes. The Aero recurve in 10" in light grey would not only look good, since it is similar in shape to the original shield, but it has the flip on the top so the wind blows over you instead of into you. Also its polycarbonate which is much stronger than the lexan.

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...
