Bought an LRS shield with the expected 7-9 days delivery, which was posted on their site. After 10 days, called them several times - no answer. Emailed them and they responded that shipping would be an additional 14-18 days. Cancelled the order. Never again.

I call LRS again and this time hit option for sales. In less than 7 minutes I got connected.
It seems that I was under the assumption that they sent me the wrong shield, but I was told that both orders I placed this year were for 9" Ultra flairs. I thought I went from 8" to 9" but I was incorrect. So I placed another order for a 10" which I think may work for me. I feel best looking over the top of the shield instead of thru it. My tall boy obstructs my vision, at least for me. That top edge distorts my view so after the 10" gets here I will place the 9" and tall boy up for sale.
I had this same problem with my 06 FLH. It took a couple of try's to get the correct height... I just couldn't remember the height that worked for me.
Thanks all for your recommendations. If this 10" don't work out, I will try a Freedom Shield.
FYI: My 9" LRS already shows scuff marks from the Harley OEM 3 bag windshield pouch. BUMMER
Now I need to find a fix so I don't mar up the new one coming.

Brought my '18 SGS home from dealer with 7" wind splitter because it's HD, and it looks cool. It does work, but still getting a face full of wind, especially top half of head. Not too bad, but... worth trying something else, So I ordered a Klock Werks 6-1/2" Dark Smoke Flare Windshield 2310-0474 because it's the same cool shape and was recommended on these forums quite a bit. I installed it today. First impression was it seemed a bit thin, but ok, and went on easily. Interestingly, it says 6-1/2", but sits up several inches higher than the 7" wind splitter. I thought that was perfect. Went out for a 10 mile highway blast. It blocked wind not that much better than wind splitter. Just a little bit better that I could notice, but it seemed to make the fairing shake a bit. I couldn't tell if it was the shield or the fairing, but it seemed slightly less stable at high speed. Also, it didn't make the radio seem any louder or clearer at highway speed. So considering the flimsier feel, taller, less attractive stance, and no discernible difference in wind dispersing, I decided to return it. I'll keep reading and try to find something else to try.
