I installed it and gave it a quick test. All I can say is you were correct the 12” is perfect. I have not removed the protective plastic yet as I want to give it a longer test ride but I do think I am going to keep it. I ran it at 80 on the highway and felt no direct wind in my face and seems to be going right over the top of my helmet. I closed all vents and it was just as good as with them all open. I could also hear the radio at 80 without having to go full volume and it remained clear with little sound distortion. One more longer test ride and I think I will be removing the plastic. I cannot wait to see what it actually looks like without the plastic. I can also see over it by about 3” or maybe a bit more. Thank you again. You are the real deal and all the comments about you and the Freedom Shields are 100% spot on. My wifes cousin has the same bike as me and has not made a purchase yet. I think you will be getting a referral purchase.
