I bought a Harley-Davidson Street Glide in March of 2011. The Street Glide comes with the short (3 ½ inch windshield).That windshield was awful and provided no protection at all against the wind in Texas. I tried the next larger size Harley windshield (7 inch) however it didn’t work either. The next larger size (10 inch) performed abysmally as well. I think that is because the Harley windshields are so much thinner and they are not shaped to redirect the wind as much as the Freedom Shields. Harley-Davidson windshields directed the wind to my face and helmet. I was not able to ride the bike over about 30 miles an hour due to the terrible buffeting of the wind. I was concerned that I would not be able to ride the bike at all due to the wind. I was actually considering the fact that I might have to sell the bike because I couldn’t ride it. I ordered the Freedom 12 inch I installed it and immediately took it for a test ride. I was able to ride highway speeds (55 to 60 MPH) with no problems. There is very little wind shear from this windshield. I now have no qualms about taking a longer trip on the bike. Thank you for a wonderful product. As well the price of your windshield is about half of the price of the Harley product and it performs so much better. Thanks again for a product that works as advertised. I will be happy to recommend your windshields to anyone who asks me about it.
