I want to let you know my wife and I are very pleased with the 15” Touring Freedom Shield we recently purchased for our 2015 CVO Road Glide. I didn’t think the stock windshield was terrible from my seat, but my wife Christine finally admitted she was getting beat-up from the wind on the Road glide back seat, and that our previous Ultra Classic was more pleasant for her. We ran one of your windshields on the Ultra Classic and were very pleased with the quality, fit and finish, so that’s why we came back to Freedom Shields for the Road Glide. Wow, what a difference from both seats! I regret the 5 years of excessive wind I subjected Christine too! She says it’s as good as what we had with your windshield on the Ultra Classic Electra Glide. Also, the chrome Harley windshield trim fit the thicker Freedom Shield without modification. Happy wife=happy life!
I now have approx 800 kms (500 miles) on my Road Glide with the Freedom Shield installed. It is everything I had wanted and hoped for. Thank you for your input and recommendation, it worked out perfectly! Thank you, again, you will be highly recommended to anyone who asks about my shield.
I received the wind shield a few days ago. I must say I was impressed with the quality of it right off the bat. It felt thicker and much more rigid than the two Harley shields that I have. It was also about an inch shorter than my larger shield but wider and curved differently. As per the directions I installed it with the plastic wrapping still attached. However, it took a few days before my wife, and I had the time to ride together and give it a test. After reading the reviews I ordered the 11″ shield because I am 5’7″ and my wife is about 5’6″. I have a 2017 Road Glide, and everyone knows the small wind deflector it comes with looks nice but does not do a good job of blocking the wind or preventing the irritating wind buffeting. Anyway, we took a ride last night and what a difference! My wife did not experience the wind buffeting and the radio was clearly audible up over 85mph. This shield works amazing. We were both impressed and amazed at how well this shield performs. I must also say that I was not only surprised at the difference it made, but after taking the plastic wrapping off, how great it looks on the bike. You can clearly see the quality of it, its thickness, and its clarity. I used to switch my shields from small summer deflector to the larger shield in the winter, but no more, this is staying on year-round. The shield sits exactly at my eye level, and it makes it easy for me to look over or look through. Even with the recurve, I can see clearly right through it. Personally, I could go an inch shorter, but because my wife likes it and isn’t complaining, I’m keeping it just the way it is! Kudos to you guys at Freedom Shields. Great product.
Great! Awesome! We are very happy! We received our windshield yesterday. We immediately made 2 tests, the first with protection. Great! The height is good. No more buffering and wind noise. We can hear our music… Yes! A very good manufacturing quality. We will finally be able to enjoy our road glide. Very good service…. Thank you very much!
Very nice windshield! I’m impressed with clarity! No distortion! No squirming around on the bike to look forward!! Did a cool weather 30-mile ride! And it was a nothing but a joy! Me & Kim want to thank Freedom Sheilds! I will recommend to all who ask about windshields for their bikes! Ride safe!
I spent a significant amount of time looking for a new shield. I initially had the 14” Klock Werks Sport Shield on my 2019 Road Glide. It looked great but provided no wind protection for my height. After making a few phone calls to Freedom Shields I decided to try the 15” Sport Touring Shield. It arrived as expected, and the installation was straight forward. The windshield fit perfectly, and the quality is excellent. I’m running 16” bars on my bike, and the windshield complements them perfectly, and the cut and design of the shield allows for the bars to move freely. I would highly recommend this shield for anyone looking for quality, functionality and looks!
Received my windshield and it is awesome! The head buffeting is gone for me and my passenger!! The quality of the shield is much better than the others I have tried. Best shield ever! Thank you so much for your help in selecting the right one. My ride is now complete!
This review provided regarding my recent Freedom Shield purchase of a 15” Touring (medium tint) shield for my 2015 Road Glide Special: This simple upgrade has profoundly changed the way I feel about my bike and significantly improved ridability over long distance (average for me being around 500). To quote my initial reaction during the first test ride, “Hoeleesheeot”! Prior to this purchase, I had tested the 15” Klock Werks Pro Touring, 15” Harley Windsplitter, and 14” WindVest; none could hold a candle to the Freedom Shield. The bike; 2015 Road Glide Special, custom Corbin seat (1”lower and 1” further back), old shield was a 11.5” Klock Werks Sport Flare. The rider (me); 6ft tall, 32” inseam, 250lbs (fat adds inches in vertical butt-height). Wind management has always made long distance riding a full face helmet affair, even though I much prefer my half helmet and riding in SOCAL allows for it most of the year. Fairings with properly fitted windshields are great, but without, they simply focus and amplify wind in all the worst ways; this was the case with my old windshield. Every bug and bit of road debris was forcibly vectored to my nose and eyes. The wind noise not only prevented listening to my stereo at speeds above 40MPH, but was likely causing hearing damage. Bottom line, I had to wear a full face helmet during long rides and wipe the bugs off at every stop, not to mention the neck stretching. My new Freedom Shield changed all of that! I can now wear a half helmet with comfort, hear my stereo with clarity at 80MPH, and hear the environment around me without being blown-away by it. The wind I do feel is enjoyable and reminiscent of why I’m out on a bike to begin with. The quality of the shield is also very impressive; it is thick, well-constructed, nicely polished, and the medium tint not only looks great on my bike, but provides an excellent balance between road clarity and glare reduction. This purchase was made in preparation for a summer ride from San Diego to the Arctic Circle in Alaska and back in three weeks (many days over 500 miles in the saddle) and I believe this to be the best money spent in preparation of this epic ride. In fact, I cannot remember the last time I was this impressed by a product of any kind and so pleased with the investment. Lastly a word on customer service; superlative (good word right?). Every comment made in these reviews regarding customer service is spot-on. I did not want to go through the hassle of trying one shield after another to get the right fit, so I sent an email to Freedom Shields describing my needs and received a call from John in short order to help dial me in. We talked for a short bit, I described my needs and body/bike geometry involved, and he recommended the shield I am now reviewing; perfect fit in one try! They also have a great return policy; test it, don’t take the plastic off, and return it for refund or exchange if need be. I never write reviews like this, but the quality of the product and the company deserves a thorough review and personal thank you from me for making my riding experience so much better. THANKS!

I sure appreciate you exchanging the 13 inch Dark Grey for the 12 inch Medium Gray. It’s absolutely perfect for me, I’m 5’9″ with a 32″ in-seam.
