Sit on your bike and measure from the top of the headlight up to your sightline for a ballpark idea how much screen height you'll need. The rule for a windshield is to be able to look over the top of the screen and see the road 'surface' 40 feet ahead. Anything shorter won't do a good job of deflecting wind and debris away from your face. Avoid screens with only two-point (handlebar) mounting, they tend to flutter and are not well stressed for highway speeds. You'll get the most weather protection with a National Cycle Plexifairing-3.
