I heard about “Freedom” Shields on the RoadGlide.org forum. They are one of the few companies that actually make a true Touring windshield for the 2016 FLTRU. From my first contact with the company on, I knew that Customer Service was high on their priority list. As I live in Canada… returning an item was going to be an issue if needed but I was confident enough to place the order. I ordered the 15″ Touring Air-Curve Light Tint shield. It arrived in the mail perfectly preserved and pristine. The installation was a breeze and the fit was excellent. I did (as others had done) test ride the shield before removing the protective layers. The stock 14″ shield on the bike was problematic. I am 5’11” with a 32″ inseam. I looked over the stock shield by a good 2-3″ and the wind struck just above the helmet visor. My wife on the other hand is 5’6″ and was getting blasted right in the face. She commented it was like being a “Bobble Head” due to the wind. The 15″ Freedom shield raised the air flow a good 3″ from stock. It reduced side buffeting and quietened the cockpit noise significantly. My wife no longer got wind blast and indicated that the wind just now grazed the top of her visor. All in all… very happy. I was worried about the maintenance of the shield but after emailing John, I was confident that what I was using would not damage the shield. I have cleaned the shield of bugs several times now and am confident it will last for many, many years. The Freedom Shield is by far Heads and Shoulders above the quality of the stock shield and I would recommend their shields to anyone looking for a superior product. My wife and I could not be happier. . . . . Well done 🙂
