Default What size windshield do I need?

I have a 1998 Suzuki Marauder VZ800 that I am about to order a windshield for. Because I live in Hawaii and shipping anything into or out of here can be expensive I want to ensure I get the correct one the first time around.

First question centers around the headlight cutout size. Do I need the 7" or 9" cutout? I measured the light and the headlight alone is 7", but with the housing around the headlight it's more like 8"-8.5". So I'm not sure, I'm thinking the 9" though.

Next question is what size windshield to get. I'm leaning towards the Memphis Fats 21", but also considering the Memphis Fats 19". I'm 6'0" if that helps.

Thanks
