My opinion only, Clearview, they will make a custom windshield to your specs.  Bout 3-4 weeks delivery time.  Mine is four inches shorter than stock, with a goldwing vent installed. Very clear, can't see anything but the vent in this pic. Hoser  cooldude

I should have my cee baileys shield for my interstate tomorrow. Ordered 2 inches shorter than stock tinted dark. The quality seems to be great on others I have seen.

Judging by your ad in the classifieds, I assume you're looking for info on a replacemenet OEM shield.  Other than a stock oem replacement, there's three choices available to replace the oem shield with that I'm aware of.  Clearview, Cee Bailey's and F4 Custom.

I think that what you chose would depend on the options you want and the material you want it made of.  You can get a tinted shield from Clearview and Cee Bailey's (and a vent in a Clearview), and both are made of acrylic, however the F4 is made of polycarbonate and only comes in clear.  

All are fine shields I'm sure, and there's plenty of posts from folks on here that love their Clearview and Cee Bailey's, but JMHO, if I was looking to replace an oem shield (and didn't want or need a tinted shield), I'd be taking a look at the F4 shield.  



Here's another example of acrylic vs polycarbonate.....

Possibly.  Have you thought of putting a fairing on your Valk?
