Hey Guys!
Been doing research for a recurve windshield and I am torn between a Freedom Shield or a Long Ride Shield. Right now I am leaning towards a Freedom Shield but the thickness kinda makes me a little leary. Does it leave a gap in your faring? Riding a 2016 FLHTCU. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

I'm planning on buying a Freedom Shield in short order too. Would like to know the answer to your question about a possible gap. Can't imagine that they'd sell very many if they do leave a gap, but I would like to know for sure from someone who has one installed.

 

I’ve had a couple different Freedom Shields. Great product, no gaps.

 

I’d go Freedom Shield.

 

I've had a few different recurve style shields. One i cant recall, then aeroshield and now freedom shields. Freedom shields is the winner for polished smoothness and thickness. Also i went with the sport touring cut which i was afraid wouldnt have a large enough "pocket" of calm air. My concern was proven wrong. Plenty of calm air.

 

Have one on my wife's bike and my old 04 had a freedom shield. I like them and work great.

 

The slightly used 2016 RGU I bought in 2017 came with a Freedom shield on it. I like the way it looks, perfect height for me. But...., what I DON'T like is the distortion I see right where the recurve starts. Most times I'm looking over the shield, no problem there. But sometimes, going either uphill or downhill, I need to look through it, not over it, and that distortion can be distracting, especially in low light situations. A sometimes riding buddy with a CVO RGU, think it is a '15 or '16, also has the Freedom and also dislikes the distortion. And I think we both have the Touring model shield, not the sport.

 

Love my Freedom Shield.

 

Thanks for all your input! Think I'm gunna try the Freedom shield touring width. Let ya know how it works out!

 

Just ordered my 18" Freedom Shield for my '14 CVO Road King.
