Default Oversized Windshield

When I had my 2005 Ultra Classic, I purchased an oversized windshield from a guy that made them, flhtwindshields.com was his website I believe. I am guessing he is out of business as his website doesn't work any longer. Does anyone know who makes an oversized windshield for a 2008 Ultra Classic.

You may wanna try FreedomShields. They go up to 16". Maybe will custom them higher if 16: is not high 'nuff.


https://freedomshields.net/product/u...ed-windshield/ <-- Says 16" here.

ALSO my friend, they now do LASER ETCHING!!! I am going to get 1 of those!!!

Not sure what you define as "oversized", but you can try Clearview Shields. You can go up to 20 3/4" tall and 2 1/2" on either side. The shield has a recurve top that pushes the wind a couple inches higher.

I ordered a 12" for my 2013 from Sled Shields off Amazon. It's a little too tall for me but the quality and fitment are excellent.

Thanks for the info, the one I had on the 05 was 16 inches tall and wider than the fairing. My wife loved the no wind and she could talk to me without screaming...

I purchased a 18 inch shield in June from Freedom. I got them to add a cross with their Laser Etching and really like the shield. Great quality and fits perfect.

LRS has wide and tall. I know their reception here has been hot/cold due to quality issues but I have their flat top elite and have been happy with it. You could try calling for a custom height.

I will say, if you plan to order (from anyone), prob should ASAP as holiday 'sales' will end and my guess prices in 2022 will go up, possibly significantly with how inflation is hitting everything.

Sorry to hear this. I know when I ordered mine there was a 6 week wait but Freedom Shields were up front about that when ordering.
