I'm want to change out my windshield and go with a smaller possibly sportier version than the current one I use now, which is 19.5" high from top of the shield to bottom just above the top of the headlight.  Anyone have any Moco products or aftermarket products that they could recommend?  The smaller the better as long as my chest is mostly protected from the wind on long high speed trips. Would also want a shield that is a quick release and install.

P.S. Pictures would be helpful. Thanks

why don't you just cut down the one you have on the bike to the height that you want   

it is VERY EASY to do, and you can even put a factory looking edge back on it after cutting it down.

1) decide how far down you want to cut it

2) use a piece of cardbord to trace out the curve at the top of the shield

3) put painters tape on the windshield to protect it

4) place the template down on the windshield where you want to cut it

5) use a sharpie to trace the curve onto the windshield

6) use a saber saw with a metal blade in it to cut the shield

7) use some 180 grit sandpaper and block to sand down the edge smooth

use 600 grit emory cloth to sand the edge smoother .... this will be so fine that it will turn the edge of the shield back, just like it was from the factory ......

very easy to do this .... I've done this to 3 shields in the past, no problems

If you dont end up modifying the one you have, I'd definitely reccomend the Windvest's..
I'd have to throw a tape on mine but i think its 17" (and smoke) but as i recall i think their website listed one that was slightly smaller that i think was 14"...
Tell ya though, i didn't think it would make that big a difference running without it, it made a huge difference having this shield on!

Memphis shades seems to have some smaller fairings as well http://www.memphisshades.com/harley-shades

Thanks FXR4Mikey. I'm going with your suggestion and will follow your steps. I'll post some pics when I complete it.
