I am very happy with my Long Ride shields. I have a 10" Thresher and the 11" Stingray on my '16 RGS. I can't tell a huge difference between the two heights as far as wind (They both do a fantastic job) but I seem to prefer the 10" as I don't catch it as much in my peripheral vision. The shields look and fit great.

Agreed. I'm 5'10". You can demo it and the 15" at your Harley dealer, so no need to guess.

Another vote for LRS. I have a 15" Thresher.

I have a 12" Freedom Shield. Pricey compared to others. But, it is thicker and works really well. 3,000 miles, and I would buy again.


Online measuring formula had me get the 12". But, for better rain management, I would like a 13". Could still look over. 5"10" 30 inch inseam.


Can try, and return, if you don't remove film. Nice guy to work with.

Contact Freedom Shields via e-mail or phone, give them your height and inseam and they will recommend a height for you... when you get the shield, install it but leave the film on, see how you like it, if it's too tall, or too short, you can send it back and get a different size as long as the film is still on it.

I got the 12" per their recommendation, and it's perfect. They're great to work with, and the shield is very high quality, thick, and no distortion. The radio is much clearer sounding, and I can ride all day long - literally - without feeling like I got beat up by the wind or noise.
