No experience with LRS but my Memphis Shades functioned perfectly however it cracked along the base of the batwing on my Ultra. Spent a lot of money on a 9" Freedom Shield touring edition. It was good quality didn't crack but wind management was absolutely no different than the 7" Memphis Shades. Had to wait 30 days to get the FS and they charged my card immediately. Have a Klockwerks on my new to me Road Glide. Looks awesome but the distortion from the molding is annoying.
As many will tell you find a dealer that has several for you to test before making a purchase.
I didn't throw down a vote because I have no experience with Memphis Shades, but I just switched from Klock Werks to the 9" LRS and it does the job just fine.
Freedom.
LRS has lost it’s luster due to quality, price and new ownership.
Prior to new owners… I had several LRS on my 05 trying to find the perfect shield.
Went with Freedom on my 19 Limited, the thickness and quality are light years beyond what I had at LRS previously.
I know it’s not in your poll, but worth a look at.
