Choosing a Size
Looking Over the Windshield
The ideal height is where the top edge of the windshield is level with the tip of your nose. This gives you about 2” to see over the top of the windshield when you are looking straight ahead. With this height, the wind will clear the top of your head for a comfortable and quiet ride. The taller you go the better it feels, especially for the passenger, as long as the top edge doesn’t creep up into your line of sight.
Looking Through the Windshield
The ideal height is where the top edge of the windshield is about 2″ above your line of sight. This gives the most comfort and protection for both the rider and the passenger, but when it rains and the windshield gets wet and dirty it gets harder to see through the windshield.
Measuring Tips
– If you have a tall windshield on your bike, you can place a piece of Blue Painters Masking Tape on your windshield with the top edge of the tape at different heights and take a short ride to get settled into your normal riding position.
– If you have a short windshield on your bike, you can tape different size pieces of cardboard on your windshield with Blue Painters Masking Tape and take a slow ride to get settled into your normal riding position.
Test Ride our Windshield
Your windshield will come with a protective plastic film applied to both sides of the windshield. Make sure to leave the plastic on the windshield, mount the windshield and take a short test ride, as long as you have good visibility.
If you are not completely satisfied with the height or performance of the windshield, you may return the windshield for a different size or for full credit (less any shipping charges) as long as the windshield is like new and the protective plastic film has not been removed.
Take your time . . . make sure it is right. No worries if you order in the winter months and it takes until Spring to try it out.
Rider Reviews
One stop shopping for custom bike windshields.
John, at Freedom Shields made me a windshield for my 1994 Ultra Classic and my experience with that one was excellent. So I wanted a windshield for my 2008 Nightster and once again the Freedom Shields product met my expectations. I am 5′ 10″ tall and selected a 16″ medium gray and it turned out to be excellent for wind protection and visibility. For me, it’s one stop shopping for custom bike windshields. Freedom Shields makes a first class product and their service is five out of five stars.

The height is perfect!
I just wanted you to know just how happy I am with this windshield. You were right about the wider shield moving more air and the height is perfect! Thank you again for such a great product and your amazing customer service!
