High shipping cost for Freedom Shields
Freedom Shields charges $30 for shipping 5lb in a cardboard box to Ohio. I would like to try their wider touring shield but will stick with the 4 LRS shields I currently have.

I have been on the fence about a new windshield.
The top of the stock one on my 12 UC is right in my line of sight.
My biggest concern about an aftermarket one is that I don't want to increase the buffering for my wife.
Has anyone had any problems with this?

I just installed a Freedom Wide shield last night and I am EXTREMELY impressed with it! Optically correct with no distortion and thick! The polished edge is sexy! I should have called and gotten a bit shorter shield because I used the same measurements as my last cheap shield and it is taller! I am keeping it for 2 up and **** weather or longer trips and I am ordering another tonight 4 inches shorter for when I am riding alone!
I have read that calling them and you will get an extremely personalized attention and more then likely the right size the first time. I was impatient and ignored what just about everyone who has purchased Freedom shields had said about calling and impulse purchased mine.
They offer free returns but shipping can get stupid. I have a collection of cheap shields that are going to my local INDY for someone in bad shape to get and spending the money for a better product.

I have 2 LRS shields that I have been happy with. Having said that, I have not had to contact them for any issues, so I have no experience with their customer service.
My next shield I am considering Freedom Shields because of all of the positive reviews.
