I finally got a chance to test ride your shield. I am very impressed! I have tried a number of other shields on my 2004 Electra Glide, the Freedom Shield is the best by far. My wife (5’4″ tall) and I (6’4″ tall) ride together w/her as passenger. We have both been unhappy with the amount of turbulence & buffeting we’ve experienced with the factory shield, and numerous aftermarket shields. In fact, just this spring I purchased a new Klockwerks Flare 8 1/2″ shield. We were very disappointed with the Flare. The noise, turbulence, & buffeting was the worst of any of the shields we had tried. Then I found your windshield. We find it very quiet, with minimal turbulence or buffeting, and it’s easy to talk to each other in a normal voice on the road. I am also very impressed with the fit and finish of the Freedom Shield. High quality workmanship is obvious, and this shield vibrates less than any other we’ve tried. Thanks for a great windshield!

et me start off by saying the quality of your shield is the best. The polished edges stand out and the heavy shrink wrapped plastic allowed me to handle the shield, TEST RIDE the shield (as advertised) without being concerned of nicks and scratches, and let me make an unrushed opinion as to wanting to keep it or not. I was looking for something shorter than the 12.5″ shield that is standard on the HD police models, offer maximum protection while riding, and at the same time, add a cool factor that the clear windshields don’t offer. I achieved it with your 10″ dark gray windshield. I prefer to look over the windshield while riding, and yet don’t enjoy getting beat up by the wind. I am 6′ tall, and have the air ride seat that adds a couple of inches to the seat height. The 10″ windshield almost completely knocks down the wind that I was used to with the taller windshield, and yet adds a much more comfortable view of the road and a better look to the bike. Thank you for a fine product, and if I can send some business your way, consider it done. I have already had 3 people ask about the windshield since I put it on this morning, and I have only gone to the gas station and back. Your windshield rocks! The Freedom Shield knocks the wind down and just flat out, looks great!

I have attached a picture of my 09 HD Ultra with the 9inch shield I recently purchased from you. I have driven in all types of weather and the shield performed great. I definitely prefer the tinted look and the 9 inch shield which does not make me sacrifice anything in the way of increased wind vs. the stock 14 inch shield. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a better look without having to sacrifice performance or worry about increasing wind noise. The product was as advertised and the strength is second to none in the market. Thanks again

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.

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
