There is no universal "best one".  It depends mostly on your height, and what you are looking for specifically, i.e. highway cruising, sport riding, etc.

Frankly, even then, there's dozens of various shaped/sized shields out there, and even more opinions of what works and what doesn't.

Almost like tires or oil... everyone has an opinion. 

Most "Sport Touring" shields are about 2" over stock.  They all work pretty good if you're under 6' tall or so.  Popular ones are Givi, Zero Gravity, and also the Suzuki aftermarket shield.

The Touring shields are typically about 4-6" over stock height.

Thanks Paul, Im 6'0, riding is a mix of everything. Id like the same height of windshield w/o changing the breaking point of the turbulence. The only reason Im thinking about replacing OEM is its got streaks I cant clean, works great though.
