Just wanted to say how pleased I am with the 13” Dark Smoke Touring shield from Freedom Shields for my 2013 Harley-Davidson FLTRX. The shield is great, thicker than the stock H-D, and no visual distortion. My H-D shield used to vibrate visibly at speeds over 45mph. I had my bike up to 80mph with your shield on and zero vibration. I can listen to my stereo at highway speeds and there’s no wind buffeting to my head! Just an exceptional product. Now, onto your service. You invited me to your shop and changed my windshield for a few sizes and allowed me to ride as long as I needed to determine the right shield for me. I can’t speak highly enough about the whole experience. I’ll be recommending you and Freedom Shields to all my riding buddies.
The windshield came in and was installed before my trip. I left Maryland and went through, New York, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Cape Brenton, PEI…..basically covered all the Northeast. I rode 3428 miles in 8 days. I couldn’t be happier with the windshield. I did get into rain, and it gave great protection. I swear I could light a cigarette behind that thing! Just wanted to let you know that I am very pleased and will be recommending you to everybody I run into!
What a huge upgrade. I have been riding this old CVO Road glide more than 18 years now. I recently upgraded the stereo and now I can really hear it and enjoy it. Way better highway sound. Your windshield is the 3rd one I tried, and it is by far the best. Best looking, best quality, best performance, best design. Great price for the quality guys. The stock shield offered very little protection and the last taller shield I had was flimsy and slotted so it was rattly and certainly not as secure. I always worried it could pop off at high speed and although that never happened it was always a concern. No longer! This thing is rock solid. Thank you.
I can now personally attest that all of these reviews are true! With my touring model Freedom Shield, I get the best of both worlds in terms of visibility and wind protection. I have never been happier with an aftermarket purchase for my bike, and I only wish I had done it years sooner!
This shield is simply amazing. I’m completely satisfied and will be soon purchasing a dark smoked one from you as well. My trip was so much better than it would’ve been. As I told you before, I’ve bought several shields before yours trying to save some of my hearing from the popping air around my head. This shield totally eliminated the popping with the least buffeting I’ve ever experienced. You’re the best!
This shield gets a 5 out of 5 stars. I purchased a 14 inch, dark grey tint, touring windshield for my 2015 Road Glide in April 2020. Although it was at the beginning of the Colorado virus shut down, John and his wife were still running their shop and fulfilling orders on their own. They delivered it sooner than anticipated and the quality is fantastic. As you see in other reviews the material is very thick and fits the bike perfectly. It is a snap to install. I chose the Dark Grey Tint. It looks great on the bike as you can see from the photo, and it completely eliminates buffeting, I experienced with the stock windshield at 65-70 mph. No more bobble head. You can see through the dark tint just fine, although when measured properly, you tend to look right past it anyway at the road in front of you. I have not had an issue with it at all. Thanks to Freedom Shield for making a great product that works perfectly.
I just wanted to thank you guys for the outstanding service and product you have. I ordered a 14” Medium Smoke Touring windshield for my 2018 Road Glide Special. I’m 5’7” with a 30” inseam and I can see several inches above the windshield for a clear view of the highway and protection from the wind. I do have a CVO seat on this bike which raises me up a few inches more than the stock seat. Also, the wind buffeting has decreased significantly. That Harley stock windshield did not provide the protection from the wind I needed for me or my passenger. I have to say the reviews on your website helped me very much in determining whether to purchase your windshield. I’m a firm believer in a picture is worth 1,000 words. You can’t have too many pictures in my book. I was on the fence on whether to get the Dark Smoke or Medium Smoke and with the help from all the pictures on your review pages I was able to make the right decision. I’m extremely pleased with the quality of this windshield. Your measuring directions are spot on, so I didn’t have to return it for another size. I will definitely recommend your product to others. Thank you so much and it was a pleasure doing business with you.
What a difference your shield has made. It arrived Monday and my wife and I went on a ride last night with the film still on the shield. By the time we got home I was ready to remove the protective film and make the shield mine! I had another companies shield and with all of the hype they had about the product, I was extremely disappointed with the performance of the product. I have a 2016 CVO Road Glide Ultra (FLTRUSE) and the wind noise with the other shield was terrible. The shield looked good but functionally it was a waste of money. After a long ride, my ears would ring for hours due to the wind. After doing some additional research, I found your site and after reading all of the great reviews I reached out to your company. I talked to John, and he recommended the 14″ Med grey touring model. This shield is just amazing. It only took 5 minutes for me to realize that this was the absolute right shield for my bike. Not only did it help with the wind, but my wife could also hear the stage 2 stereo. The great thing is not only is it functional, it also looks beautiful and it is crystal clear when you look through it!
Through John’s great support I settled on the 15″ sport touring shield for my 2015 RG back in April 2019. NEVER been happier .. the stock RG shield and a 12″ clear HD product always fell short of my touring needs. Immediately after installing it, I knew that the Freedom shield would be different and way better! With the shield’s style and height, I proceeded to put on about 6500 miles, mostly on interstates with occasional regional or short local trips. I never turn on “the noise” so can’t comment on the radio but can sure say that the buffeting all around is way reduced, with overall ride comfort much improved. So about the birds .. in eastern NC we face all sorts of road devils from deer to dogs, but the turkey buzzards also command serious attention. Not the smartest of God’s creatures for sure but they are invariably smart enough to lift and swoop off their roadkill in time for passing vehicles. Last fall I took a post-oil change test ride before heading up to Cape Cod for the weekend. At 55 mph I spotted a feeding buzzard approximately 300 yards ahead and cautiously watched its movements (or not) as I approached. Typically dropping speed or veering is unnecessary as they have an innate sense of physics .. bad deal to get hit by a truck, car or mc. But this dumb chunck of feathers and guts lifted (good), flew left 90 degrees (good), and cleared my path easily (also good). And then it totally forgot about risk management (bad) .. as I got close to the roadkill, the buzzard banked hard left and straight into my Freedom shield. In hindsight I suppose I could have taken another path that day, or not ridden, or some other silly crap .. and sometimes Murphy just gets a ride-along. I’m experienced, always alert, and ready for changes in road conditions but this was kind of like an instantaneous breach of reality. Bottom line .. I’m doing 55 mph, in a blink the 3-5 lb bird is doing whatever buzzard speed is straight at/into me, it hit the shield dead center, launched over my head and not so softly landed on the ground behind me. NO damage to shield or fairing .. none whatsoever. And I didn’t have to spit feathers. So I’m guessing that bugs and minor chips or stones have met their match here. Buy a Freedom shield, just enjoy it and know that it’s, first and foremost, great protection in addition to great looking and otherwise highly functional.
