Need help finding short dark shield

Hey folks. With summer approaching I want to get a shorter shield but I need the darkest one possible to look right with the bike. Can anyone tell me who makes this one on my bike and who might make a smaller version of it? It's about 17 inches long and I need something at least 2 inches shorter for smooth airflow.
Thanks a bunch I really enjoy the exchange of info on the site.

Take your stock shield to a painter and have him paint the inside black.

I had a dark Zero-G (NLA) cut down by a local plastics supplier
Works well. It is shorter, but doesn't angle back as much, as thus only acts about an inch shorter rather than 2" as I'd hoped, but overall the bike is much quieter. If you're not tucking down so far you need to look through it, then Ed's idea works really well.
