This shield is AWESOME!  

John, your quick response to my several emails and completely answering all my questions regarding help on getting the right height was 100% spot on.  I have to admit, high quality customer service is nearly a lost art in retail sales, thank you and the team for outstanding service!   This new shield greatly improved the look of my bike, the stock shield was tall about 15 inches, good protection, terrible glare and not a good fit for me.  With my Freedom Shield, I am looking over it, at a proper height, even if I slouch a little.  My wife as the passenger has good wind protection as well, no wind buffeting and a comfortable ride also.  I have to say your quality control folks have eagle vision, I decided to purchase a “blem”, 8″ touring width that was listed for the 2014 touring bikes, I can barely see where, even with the little sticker showing where the “scratch” is located see any issue or problem on this shield.   I could not be more pleased. I will for sure recommend Freedom Shield to anyone who may be looking for a high-quality windshield, a fantastic customer support team and well packaged/shipped products. Thank you all very much!

I’m looking forward to many more miles with my Freedom Shield windshield.

John, I wanted to let you know how much I absolutely love my new windshield from Freedom Shields. Harley Davidson has designed, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful bikes ever made by the motor company. The only thing that they missed the mark on in my opinion was the factory windshield. After numerous direct hits from swarms of bees etc., I’m looking forward to many more miles with my Freedom Shield windshield. It has enhanced the riding experience greatly. I must include wind protection also reduction in noise which makes listening to my boom audio that much nicer, even at highway speeds. I want to thank you again for the laser etching.  I think it looks beautiful, subtle and really stands out on this motorcycle. Thanks again for everything! I appreciate your attention to detail.

I had absolutely no buffeting whatsoever.

I received my windshield sooner than expected installed it on my 2013 street glide.  Within one week I left on a 1500 mile trip. I had absolutely no buffeting whatsoever.  I had no issues with wind coming inside my glasses  regardless of speed . We actually had one entire day of severe thunderstorms and I was able to ride right through it. Going with the wider touring model took so much more of the wind away and I had very little fatigue after 8 to 9 hours in the saddle. I went from another competitors windshield that I had on for over 40 thousand miles. And if I would have known about you before I would have thrown theirs in the trash. Very very impressed. Thank you so much for your great service and such a great product.

I would have never guessed in a million years that such a slight recurve could make such a difference.

Just a quick note to let you know that I received the 8” windshield that replaced the 10” which was too tall for my sight lines. I put it on this morning and took a trial run with it… then I peeled the plastic off and took it for a good ride! Wow! I would have never guessed in a million years that such a slight recurve could make such a difference. I swear the bike handles better at speed and when mixing it up on the highway with semi’s. Also, rain drops that crawl up the windshield fly up and over me as opposed to flying straight back into my face with the stock shield. I took it up to triple digits and was blown away by the calm and quiet behind it. The bonus is that with it being lower than the stocker my forward view is incredible. Plus the shorter shield simply looks better. Thank you for such a fine product!

I can see over the windshield perfectly (which I like) and there is no buffeting.

This is the 8″ medium tint, touring style, on my 2017 Electra Glide Ultra Classic, and I love it. I’m 5’11” and the 8″ is perfect from my height.  I can see over the windshield perfectly (which I like) and there is no buffeting. I am very pleased, and the return policy is awesome.  I returned two others to get my perfect fit.

Really enjoying the ride.

I bought/installed my Freedom Shield last spring and after over 12K miles, it is working out great.  I don’t have the head buffeting or side wind issues that I had with the OEM shield.  Really enjoying the ride.  My only regret is that I did not make the purchase sooner.  Very well-made product at a very reasonable price.

Overall, an outstanding product with service to match; highly recommended.

I had been in the market for a new windshield this season, to put on my 2019 H-D Street Glide. I’m very glad that I found Freedom Shields; as their product is precisely what I was looking for. Until now, my bike had a 7″ H-D Wind Splitter windshield installed, which I bought mainly due to its sleek appearance; however, it did not perform to expectations. Buffeting would become pronounced above 40 mph; while at freeway speeds it literally felt as though the wind was trying to pull my head up and off of my neck. I always wear a 3/4 open-face helmet, which in this situation made things worse, as my head was akin to a beach ball bouncing around. Needless to say, quite uncomfortable. Upon researching aftermarket windshield brands online, I learned about Freedom Shields. I decided to give it a try based on the multitude of positive reviews, generous exchange policy and the fact that any size windshield could be ordered (in contrast to the set sizing of H-D windshields). As stated above, this turned out to be a great decision. I received my 8″ dark tint shield, which looked like a quality piece right out of the box. Fit on the bike was also perfect; however, I am most impressed by just how well the Freedom Shields windshield alleviated the buffeting issue. It is no exaggeration to call it a night-and-day difference as compared to my previous setup. This windshield creates a “pocket” of calm airspace behind it. It is not a vacuum per se; there is naturally some air movement, but the head-tossing effect of the wind I had experienced prior is completely (and I mean completely) absent. Furthermore, I am able to hear the stereo much better than before. As for aesthetics, I think that this windshield looks great on the bike, particularly with the dark tint (which is my personal preference). The upward sloping “recurve” near the top is stylish and complements the more upright stance of the windshield. For reference, I am 6’1″ tall; and my bike has the Harley Hammock seat, which raises my seating position by an inch or so, as compared to the stock Street Glide seat. With this arrangement, the 8″ windshield is a perfect fit, the top edge being in line with my nose; as such I’m able to see well over it. Nonetheless, it is great to see a company like Freedom Shields that understands how one-size-fits-all is simply not applicable to certain things, motorcycle windshields being one example. I was comfortable ordering this product, with the knowledge that I could test it personally, on my own bike, and exchange if necessary. Even though this one is a keeper, I very much appreciate being afforded such peace of mind.  Overall, an outstanding product with service to match; highly recommended.
