I received the windshield in good condition on Friday 07/29. I installed and tested on Saturday AM. I thought it was a big improvement. The big test came Sunday when I took the girlfriend for a ride. She is always complaining about the wind. It passed the test with flying colors. The first thing she said was it’s a keeper. She wears a full face helmet. She was always complaining about the helmet catching wind. She said this shield cut down the wind considerably.

Here are a few pictures of my 2006 Street Glide with the 7″ dark grey windshield. The shield looks awesome on the bike! With me being 6′ tall, it puts the wind over my head, making it a dream to ride. No more shaking glasses! Fantastic product….I will have no problem recommending it to others.

I went ahead and ordered a 8″ light gray tinted windshield from Freedom Shields. The online order form will not accept Canadian postal codes but not a problem. Sent John an email and he responded quickly. Told me he would call me at a time convenient to me – great service. Talked to me, gave me some advise on tint and took my order. It was in my hands in a week. They ship using USPS to Canada which is great, less hassle at the border. Shield comes in a well protected box and is wrapped in a protective film. Leave this on and take it for a test ride. If it is not the right size or tint let John know and you can send it back for a replacement. Installation is a snap, just remove the old shield and put the new one on. Three screws on the faring – 5 minutes and you’re done. Good quality shield, nice and clear, well polished edges and is a wee bit thicker than stock. So far this is the way all accessory shopping should go.

I just returned yesterday. I picked up the windshield at my Mother’s house and installed it while I was in Sturgis. It works great. I noticed that it not only deflects the wind above my head but also creates a larger bubble (than my stock windshield) to the right and left. I know this because I used to lean out to dry off my glasses after riding in the rain. Now I have to lean out farther. It’s also a good rain riding shield as I could see above it but the rain didn’t hit me in the face. I also like the stiffness of it when cleaning it. You don’t have to worry about flexing it while working on those hard to remove bugs. I really like it. I’ll share the word on v-twin forum.

First Class Shield. I went with the 8″ Light Grey. Shield looks great and the view from behind the handlebars is just what I have been looking for. The stock 9 3/4″ shield caused me to look almost thru the top of the shield. Now with the 8″, my view is about 2 inches above the top of the shield. Even today I took a 120 mile trip and got caught in the rain, Man with the curve at the top of the shield, the raindrops just roll up to the top of the shield and then up over my head. Pretty Cool. Of course I still get rain in the face, but not as much with the way this shield directs the wind current up and over. Thanks John for a Great Product

WOW! The quality, fit, finish and shipping are everything I was told. Impeccable! I ordered the 9” light grey to replace a stock 9” for my 2010 Ultra Classic with stock seat. I’m 6’0’ and the buffet experienced at highway speeds is gone. I looked at every windshield I could find on the internet; I am glad that I purchased the Freedom Shield first.

Love the shield. I was a little worried that 9″ would be a little short I’m 6’2 I tried it out with the plastic on it and decided to give it a try. We ran through some rain and the flip in the shield worked great also airflow made it just over my head so it was the correct height . Thanks for the great shield.

I have about 400 miles on the new shield and things are looking good. 10” is a height which protects me but also enables me to see over rather than through. If it is hot and not raining I tend to ride with a shortie. The turn up helps push the air flow a bit higher reducing buffeting. I rode the bike about a quarter mile with no hands on a road without traffic and cruise set to 40. The shield did not exhibit any handling issues. I have not yet been caught in the rain so cannot comment on that. This is my fourth attempt to find a proper shield for me, I think this is it. It is noticeable thicker and stronger that my other aftermarket shields.

I received the 9″ light grey shield and it was in great condition. It was very easy to install on my 2010 FLHTC and it replaced a 4″ Harley shield I used all summer. I noticed an immediate improvement from wind buffeting on all road speeds. The speakers sounded even better than before I installed your shield. When riding two up my wife noticed an improvement from wind buffeting and now she can easily hear the music. It also looks very good on the bike, better than any other flip style windshield. It really enhances the classic look of the bike. This is a great product and I would recommend Freedom Shields to others.

My experience with Freedom Shields has been great. Fast delivery, easy install and the 10″ light tint shield works great. It seems to afford better protection than the 12″ Harley unit that I was using. I can easily see over the top of it and I receive no buffeting from the wind. I am 5′ 9″ and it is working excellent for me. Plus, the price is very reasonable. Thanks for a great product.
