I have a re-curved Freedom Windshield......with NO noticeable "distortion" in the curved portion. Great customer service (I suggest you chat with them) and all Freedom Shields are sold in 1" increments, unlike other companies. (call them for the "discount code" when you place an order)

Seeing a couple posts now claiming there's no problem with distortion at the recurve. Guess I could've been a little more specific with my relative issue. When I say "distortion" I'm not talking about major distortion. My issue was if I crouch/slump to the point my sight level is looking through the recurve radius the image is slightly elongated. Nothing major or what I'd consider a safety issue, just a minor annoyance.

I know mine is a Clearview, but you can look at my pic, even download it if you want, and see if you see the same, especially the house rooflines.
