I posted this in the Milwaukee 8 forum, but considering this could be cross referenced here, decided to post for anyone interested.

I just became the proud owner of a 2017 RG and was looking to replace the factory windshield with an aftermarket shield. After looking around and doing some research, I had narrowed my choices down to 2 companies, one of them being Freedom Shields. I had read many positive reviews about Freedom Shields, specifically customer service and product quality. Most of the reviewers recommended placing a telephone call to John, the company owner to assist in deciding what size shield was the best fit.
I called John today, and after discussion, it was decided that for my needs a 15" shield in medium tint, in the sport touring style would be best for me. I went to the Freedom Shields site and placed the order. When ordering, I got to the shipping method selection and only noticed 2 options, the least expensive of which was about $50. I thought it was kind of high, but ordered anyway.
Here is the unbelievable part......about 30 minutes after placing the order, I received a telephone call from John. He asked me why I picked such an expensive mode of shipping when UPS ground would get to me probably just as fast. I told him that I didn't see the ground option and it was probably a "brain fart" on my part. John said it wasn't a problem and he would change the shipping to ground and credit my credit card with the shipping cost difference and include the credit receipt in with the packaging.
I was so impressed by this customer service that I immediately felt compelled to come to the forum to tout Freedom Shields so that others looking for a windshield would at least give them consideration.
Also, if you call John and mention you are a forum member, he will give you a code to enter for a discount.

 

Good to hear freedom is still going out of their way to please the customer. I have purchased from them and will again. Nice to hear good reviews instead of complaints

 

They are very nice. No stupid logos or distortion. I Run a 14" Touring in med tint.

 

I have had two of their shields. Great product and, like you said, great service!

 

Hope you don't take this the wrong way, but how long have you ridden your new RGU? Long enough to already know you want another shield?

 

Have one of their shields on my bike, very happy with it. Had a Rifle Mfg shield on my Vaquero, also was a great company to deal with.

 

Curious, will you be looking through it, or over it?

 

I would like to try a Freedom shield but I don't think it's worth roughly twice the price that Long Ride Shields sells theirs for. LRS does run some good sales. Maybe I missed a better discount but I think the best I've seen from Freedom is 10% off. Big deal. Freedoms shipping is also a lot higher.

 

No offense taken. I have ridden it long enough to realize that the factory windshield offers little to no protection or buffering at highway speeds. I have a friend that has a taller shield; he let me try his out and immediately noticed a big difference.

 

With the height of the shield that I chose, I will be looking over it, approximately 2-3 inches.
