Awesome, thanks for everything that you do. I imagine moderating a large community like this can be pretty tough. We'll do what we can to help.

i received my 3 hole 8" light smoke LRS on the 14th the shield is pre-curved has a nice solid feel and appears to be high quality material. the shield installed as stock and fit perfect. the light smoke is a shade darker than the light smoke on a HD shield not bad just darker than i would have liked, not a big deal it'll grow on me.
a little history before the test ride i have a 09 FLHTC and the stock shield [iirc 12"] is way too tall i like looking over them. i bought the 10" HD shield and that was also a touch too high unless you sit bolt upright, not comfortable, [i'm 6-2 225] so instead of cutting it down i bought a Cee Baily 7" shield and like the 3 Bears kids story it was too short but the 8" LRS was just right. the 8' shield with it's flip/flare blocks or diverts the air very nice the air hits right at the top of my head with little to no buffeting in the front seat if you were to wear a hat, helmet or skull cap you would be fine. all in all i'm pleased with it. thanks.

Thumbs up Longride received today

My 10' medium smoke shield arrived today. Installation was simple. A quality product with fast shipping. You can spend more and wait 6 weeks or spend less and get a shield you have to bend to fit. Or buy a Longride. You wont be sorry.

I guess your site is down? I can seem to get it to work.

also I bought a "flat" shield from a competing site when I bought my bike didnt know of your company at the time and I didn't have any difficulty putting it in and have removed it a couple dozen times when working in the fairing on the radio and other stuff no issue with bending. I have also never heard any other stories of people having problems with "Flat" shields.

and while I'm using your bandwidth, count this as another vote for a RoadGlide version:
  • tinted (light grey)
  • Plus & Minus 1" and 2" off stock (lookin for just a bit shorter than stock, myself, but I see many that want them over their heads...)
  • wider to make larger 'quiet pocket'
And (not suggesting that you steal any competitors' ideas, but) have you considered vents? (this coming from someone sitting in 90 degree heat...)

I'm pretty sure that the .org site is not for LRS but another company trying to jump on their bandwagon. (may be wrong) I'd stick with the .com addy for LRS.
