Welcome to the site. Windshield selection can be complicated by many things. If you asked 50 members here you will probably get 50 choices for a windshield. I have had a Clearview shield on two of my bikes and love them. Great product, thicker than a stock shield and the re-curve at the top moves the air up to go over your head so you can use a shorter shield than if it was straight.
Clearview also gives a discount to site members and has great service and return policy.

You will read on other threads here that when mentioning the shield that works for a particular member they list their overall height and their pants inseam. This help in determining whether a rider is long torso or short in the torso. Sometimes the overall measurement can be affect by things like whether you slouch or ride straight up.
Another consideration on short or very curvy shields is whether the air collapses at you back and if a passenger get all the buffeting. It won't be fun for you if your passenger is in the rough wind. Of course if you ride alone than that isn't much of a concern.
Then you should think about whether you ride with a helmet and if so what type. A full face helmet may protect you from wind,rain and road debris.
As far as tint,many go clear but I like a light tint to help eliminate glare. Dark tints look cook but for some it makes it hard to see the road at night or it won't pass state inspection if too tall so you may be limited to a short shield if you want dark tint.
