After purchasing a Street Glide, it only took a few miles to realize that I could not live with the stock windshield and that it needed to be replaced with something taller. At the Harley dealer, I tried the 10” light smoke Wind Splitter demo shield. It did a good job with air deflection. But even though I was looking over the windshield, my peripheral vision was seeing a lot of distortion, especially with the highway lines. It was a deal breaker for me. After doing much research and reading windshield recommendations on several forums, I ordered the light gray 8” recurve Freedom Shield. In just a few days the windshield arrived. I was immediately impressed with its quality and installation was simple. It didn’t take long to realize this was a keeper. The design of the windshield sends the air over my head, eliminating the head buffeting that I had experienced with the stock shield. And unlike the Wind Splitter, this windshield has virtually no distortion. To control the air coming up from around the tank, I installed a set of HD fork-mount wind deflectors. Installing the Freedom Shield and the wind deflectors has turned my Street Glide into a sweet ride. I highly recommend Freedom Shields.
