Just bought a 2011, and I do not like the windscreen at all. The bike is black, so I would like to go with one that has a tint to it and is just a little shorter.

If you have "winter" where you live, you will like it at that time. I find in the summer, the stock 2nd gen blocks too much air and restricts my ability to ride in the mid/upper 90's.
But for when it's really hot out. I cut down and tinted a stock '08/'09 shield ~4" and it works great!
I bought a dark tinted windshield from CalSci not long ago - I think it's an inch taller than the 08/09 shield. Didn't like it so last week I cut it down four inches. Love it now. I get a fairly clean shot of air at my upper chest and head and it looks good.
Here is the only picture I have handy. From the riding position you probably only see about two inches of the windshield...

I don't find riding in those temps to be fun or comfortable, if it is higher than the 80's I am taking the car.
That's what I'm looking for....did you use a Dremmel to trim it? Can you just get it tinted like a normal piee of glass?
Just went out and took some more pics. I like it more and more all the time.
