We just got back from a 2600-mile ride from Texas to South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. As usual, I love the shield and it performed excellent. I wanted you to know that I hit a Vulture about 70mph while in Wyoming. My wife was behind me (on her own bike) and said it had about a 4-foot wingspan. My guess was it was about 10lbs the way it sounded.  The impact was on the right front fairing and windshield with about equal distribution to both. It actually pulled the shield up and out about an inch but there were no other marks or anything after I washed it.  I know that shield took a hit and it didn’t damage it at all. Just wanted you to know that you have an awesome product.  If that buzzard had broken through, it probably would have taken me off the bike. I simply braced for impact, looked in the mirror afterwards to make sure my wife got around it and we kept on moving.  Kind of wish I had gone back for a feather now.

I absolutely love my windshield!! I’m 6’3” and ride 2016 Ultra Limited, stock seat. I first ordered the 13 inch, Dark Tint, touring windshield and test rode and it was just too tall for me. After speaking with John and Lisa, we decided that the 11” inch would be better for me. I was able to swap out for new windshield and it is perfect! Wind goes over my helmet, my glasses don’t bounce on my face at higher speeds (I went over 90 MPH) and much quieter to hear stereo! The craftsmanship of this windshield is the best! Love that it is thicker than the HD windshield. I have the HD windshield bags on as well and didn’t have to change the three windshield bolts. A friend had recommended Freedom Shields to me and as everyone knows, you have a ton of windshields to choose from on the market. I did a ton of research for myself. I read a lot of reviews and watched as many videos. You will not regret choosing Freedom Shields! This windshield performs as advertised and you cannot beat the quality and customer service! Thank you very much for the best windshield! 100 percent satisfied customer!

I mounted the windshield the same day and even in the plastic, it looked good on the bike. I took it for the test ride and the size works well for me, but today I finally had time to unwrap it and take it out on the road. My wife and I set out on our Harley Ultra Classic Limited on a nice loop that takes us along the ocean on the Pacific Coast Highway, through the mountains on a smoothly curving canyon road and then onto Highway 101 back home. Wow! I am impressed. We have headsets so we were talking about the differences along the way. Within the first couple of miles, we noticed the lack of wind noise and head buffering. Smooth and quiet! Music to my ears, literally. My playlist was clearly audible at a lower volume. There are a lot of higher speed (50-55 mph) sweeping curves along the way and I couldn’t believe how much better the bike handled. The bike had a better feel on the open highway as well. It felt more solid and more connected to the road. I can’t wait for our road trip next week along the California coast. Pros: quality product fit and finish, decreased head buffeting, quieter rider experience, better bike handling. Cons: I should have purchased this much sooner.

Ok, I’m not one to write a lot of reviews….I feel compelled to at this point. I read each review about the Freedom Shield and decided to try one for myself. I went from the stock Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic 10“ to an 8” Freedom Shield “clear” after reading the reviews, and after hearing that it sends the air 2”-3” higher.  In theory I was keeping everything somewhat status quo. I didn’t mind the stock setup. I was skeptical….. I also was skeptical about being able to hear the music better.  Really?  Come on? I must say without a doubt that these things are true.  Even the music seemed to have more fidelity. Wow!  Totally impressed. The thickness is quite substantial. Great product!  I will probably get another dark one for the style points alone. Just do it!  Quit reading. This company rocks! You will be impressed.

I rarely do product reviews but these folks at Freedom Shields have a next level type of service that needs to be acknowledged. First: Made in the USA 👍 Second: production quality is excellent, fit and finish are perfect the and the details reflect a top shelf QA process. Third: the protective layer of plastic actually peels right off and leaves a clear clean shield! Usually, these things become more difficult to remove than money from my wallet, not in this case, obviously they properly store and maintain their raw stock, which is rare these days, good job guys. Fourth: The unit is rock solid, these are not flimsy cheap plastic, the additional thickness and correct mounting points allow this thing to slide right into position, tighten up, and not vibrate at all, no movement at any speed, the tint is perfect, and the clarity is stellar. Down the road performance is exactly as stated, wind deflection on the 5” is like having an 8” without the obstruction factor and it blends right into the lines of the faring, this thing looks great!  Fifth: Customer Service. Ordering on the site is a breeze, choices are clearly defined and represented, click, click, done. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed sometimes so there was some confusion, strictly on my part about shipping lead time, one email to Cory, which was answered immediately, and boom, dude had the thing expedited, no excuses, just service. These guys made a customer for life with that effort, and I really can’t thank them enough. In short, Freedom Shields….you want the best? Go with this group of individuals, you are not going to be disappointed.

I just purchased my first Harley this year, a 2014 Street Glide Special that still had the stock blade windscreen on it, as I like to ride with a Half Helmet and a pair of Sun Glasses I knew I needed more wind protection. My first purchase was an 8” Klock Werks Windscreen, am improvement but I was disappointed with the head buffeting at 65+ miles per hour, in my opinion the way the sides are cut funnels the wind right at your head at speed. A friend of mine had put an 8” Freedom Shield on his 2018 Street Glide and was very happy with it and me being shorter than him I thought I may be able to get away with the 7” so I ordered one. When it came, I mounted her up and took it for a test drive and it was apparent that I did indeed need the 8”, so I called up John at Freedom and he got my 8” coming and arranged for the return of the 7”. I have now put a few hundred miles on my bike with the new shield and am very pleased with the protection, even at 75 mph on the freeway it has great protection and it is very easy to see through if needed unlike the Klock Werks that was distorted. I would highly recommend these shields, great quality and Customer Service that you just don’t find anymore! Thanks John.
