I got my windshield brackets back from powder coat and bolted up the Freedom Shields w/s. I am pretty happy with it. Couldn't ride tonight due to weather but I will get on it Sunday!
Added my windsplitter last night, first ride was on my way to work this morning . Still need to play with it but was getting buffeting and I’m 6ft. Still much better than no shield .
had to pull my handlebars back about an inch .
What headlight visor ring is that? Looks great. I read reviews that the HD Visor doesnt fit properly, and you actually mount it over the existing stock trim ring.

I had the same trim, until I switched for the frenched version which mounts the same. Mine mounts fine, per the instructions. You just have to loosen the existing trim a bit.

Thanks. I don't understand why HD can't get it right. Did you leave the existing trim ring loose when you tightened the new one over it, or do you loosen to put the new one over it, then tighten again?

Left it loose. Tightening the new trim tightens the original. It's rock solid. Not sure what the perceived issue is, as I installed three trims on two different road kings and never once had a problem. I honestly don't think its a HD issue, I think its a matter of people not following the installation instructions

Thanks. It's good to hear it from someone who actually did it, and followed the instructions.

I see you are in NNJ - I'm just across the TZ. I have a set of black visor trims for headlights and aux lights. If you want them, you can come get them for the price of some beer and tequila...
