I have an 09 Ultra Classic that I purchased used about a month ago. This was my first bike ever. After riding it for a while, the stock windshield became an issue, as the top edge was right in my line of sight. It was like looking through a glass of water. It was really bad when navigating curves. I ran across several websites that sold after market shields including www.freedomshields.net. I then went to www.hdforums.com and read many great un-biased reviews on the Freedom Shield. I knew I had to have one over the other brands. We were planning a short weekend getaway and I really wanted the new shield for the ride, but it was only days away and shipping from Colorado was exorbitant for next day. That is when I called you to find out if there were any dealers in my area. You were able to give me three choices within an hour from my home. I was able to locate the 10” light Grey shield and travel to the vendor for pickup. I am 6’4” and slouch in my seat (I know, I know, I should sit more upright). I placed the shield on the bike with the protective plastic still in place and rode approximately 75 miles through some hilly and curvy roads and absolutely loved it. I had taken my torx bit along and removed the plastic sheeting in the middle of my ride. I was able to enjoy my first long (by my standards) ride from Atlanta to Charlotte without looking through a “glass of water”. As several reviews stated, it does push the wind up over you. The thicker shield also helps when there are wind gusts or when you are riding on the highway with large trucks. I did not get pushed around nearly as much. It was an awesome experience. Customer Service was awesome. Thanks again.
