The thicker shield also helps when there are wind gusts or when you are riding on the highway with large trucks.

10" Light Grey Tint

I have an 09 Ultra Classic that I purchased used about a month ago. This was my first bike ever. After riding it for a while, the stock windshield became an issue, as the top edge was right in my line of sight. It was like looking through a glass of water. It was really bad when navigating curves. I ran across several websites that sold after market shields including www.freedomshields.net. I then went to www.hdforums.com and read many great un-biased reviews on the Freedom Shield. I knew I had to have one over the other brands. We were planning a short weekend getaway and I really wanted the new shield for the ride, but it was only days away and shipping from Colorado was exorbitant for next day. That is when I called you to find out if there were any dealers in my area. You were able to give me three choices within an hour from my home. I was able to locate the 10” light Grey shield and travel to the vendor for pickup. I am 6’4” and slouch in my seat (I know, I know, I should sit more upright). I placed the shield on the bike with the protective plastic still in place and rode approximately 75 miles through some hilly and curvy roads and absolutely loved it. I had taken my torx bit along and removed the plastic sheeting in the middle of my ride. I was able to enjoy my first long (by my standards) ride from Atlanta to Charlotte without looking through a “glass of water”. As several reviews stated, it does push the wind up over you. The thicker shield also helps when there are wind gusts or when you are riding on the highway with large trucks. I did not get pushed around nearly as much. It was an awesome experience. Customer Service was awesome. Thanks again.

High quality product that makes my bike look AWESOME!

7" Dark Grey Tint

I thought I would share with you an interesting story that demonstrates the quality and effectiveness of the Freedom Shield windshield for Harley-Davidson. A couple of days ago I rode from Toronto to Ottawa and back again in a day, a distance of over 850 kilometers (about 530 miles). The front of my bike was plastered in bugs. (See the attached photos.) I have the 7” inch dark Grey windshield, which sits at roughly my chin level. I wear an open-face, beanie-style helmet and did not experience any bugs hitting my face at all! I consider this a near miracle, given the condition of the fairing and windshield after this trip. I just thought you would like to know how well your shields perform in the real world of riding! Thanks again for making such a great, high quality product that makes my bike look AWESOME!

Provides more protection than the stock shield did!

7" Dark Grey Tint

As promised, here are some photos of my bike with the new 7” dark Grey Freedom Shield mounted. It is PERFECT! I installed it on the bike with the protective plastic film still on and went for a ride on city streets and highways up to 140 km/h (85+ mph). It was great! Then I removed the shield and stripped off the plastic film, re-installed the windshield and I am in love! The look and the function are exactly what I was hoping for! And the quality of the materials and finish are excellent. I have put another 500 km (300 miles) on the bike with the new shield on and I can honestly say that it is awesome! In fact, I believe it provides more protection than the stock shield did! Freedom Shields rock! Thanks so much! Steve

You will have my business as long as I’m able to ride.

10" Light Grey Tint

Just a note to tell you that I received the 10″ Freedom Shield for my 08 Street Glide just fine. I installed it the next day and due to the heat wave here in Oklahoma City, I didn’t have a chance to ride for two more days. But, when I did get a chance to ride, I put about 80 miles on the bike and the Freedom Shield performed much better than I ever expected. I almost knew that it would, judging from all the comments on your website. I can’t believe the difference your shield makes. Even in a cross-wind the shield performs much better than my stock shield ever did. And, what’s better yet, my wife (passenger) doesn’t complain about the wind anymore. And that’s worth twice the low price of the Freedom Shield. I cannot thank you enough for making a product as superior as the Freedom Shield. You will have my business as long as I’m able to ride. Thank you again. Troy

Its a keeper!

7" Dark Grey Tint

Its a keeper, got it temporarily mounted Thursday evening went for a short ride and what a difference. I’m not getting whipped in the face and can enjoy the stereo now. Permanently mounted the shield and rode to work Friday what a joy, forgot my eye pro on a short ride to Lowe’s and didn’t even notice. Thanks for a great product John.

The edges and fit are perfect!

9" Dark Grey Tint

IMPRESSIVE! It is so nice to receive a product and have it perform BETTER than advertised!! I received my 9” Dark Grey Tint (#FLH-9DG) and immediately installed on my 2012 Ultra Limited. I took a leap of faith and peeled the protective covering off prior to the initial install confident that it would perform as great as it looked. Excited to try the new shield, I jumped on my bike and took it for a 70+ mile freeway ride… well, it is truly IMPRESSIVE!! No buffeting, very low wind noise and the air that does hit my face is “clean”. I have tried several different brands of windshields on all 4 of my bikes and by far Freedom Shields has been the best performer, quality and price! There are a lot of photos to show the shields themselves; I attached a couple photos that show the quality workmanship that was put into this windshield. The edges and fit are perfect! Thank you.

Visibility is excellent and I can see over the shield just fine.

7 inch Dark Grey Tint

John First off, it’s been an absolute pleasure dealing with you and Tracy. You guys really go above and beyond with the customer service. After reading the numerous positive reviews’ there was no question as to who’s shield to purchase. My first ride on my 14 Street Glide Special showed me that there was a lot of room for improvement with the stock shield. At highway speeds the ride was terrible!!! Wind noise and buffeting made for a very fatiguing ride. I stand 5 foot 8 inches and determined that the 7 inch Dark Grey tint was the one for me. Upon receipt of the shield and being confident of the positive claims, I removed the protective film, installed the shield and went for a ride. Visibility is excellent and I can see over the shield just fine. Buffeting is virtually eliminated and wind noise is mostly gone. Listening to the tunes is now much more enjoyable. One of the bigger bonuses is that 99.9% of the bugs either hit the shield or go right over it, and miss the rider. Nice to not get plastered in the face and glasses. Jacket stays clean as well. The quality of the product is beyond incredible. In closing I would say that Harley should consider offering your shields as stock fitment.
