I bought this shield at the end of 2005 and found their invoice.

RHAR-LH 10A        FLHT short 9" with recurve           $65.29
A Tint                 Tint-smoke                                  14.00
Modification          Change height to 10.75"                30.00

Go to their website and read about measuring for your height and whether a stock shield will work or whether you need a custom height.
Also, look at their blems which is a savings.  Bought one for my wife's bike and their was nothing wrong with it.
John gives us 10% off.  (not blems)
Call or email him and they answer all questions.

One thing that will guarantee you get the right height is to buy one that is too high and cut it down. I had the problem and what I did was to trace the old windshield onto the new higher one (cut the bottom of the windshield so you still have the factory edge on the top) this can be done very easily slots and all with a die grinder, I just taped the thing before I marked and cut. If you adjust the windshield by setting an object out in front of the bike say 50 feet or to your liking  then deciding if you want to see through or over you can get to the exact height. I cut about 2.5 inches off the bottom of a mid length shield and it looks like factory. This will work for Harley stock sheilds but am not sure about some of the after market odd shaped ones (depends on how much you need to cut). The operative word here is that the sheilds can be cut very easily.

take your stock shield and start to cut it down. I lobbed 3 in off mine and its good for me. I'm 5'11" and do not like to look thru whind shield's. I can feel the wind just going over the top of the helmet. when you get the right hieght then order your shield the height you want. 8)

Why didn't I think of that, because I'm not that smart. Thanks :2vrolijk_21:
