Default Longride shields

I was hearing alot about these when they first hit the Forum but have not seen any threads/ posts for awhile.

For those that have one are you happy with it? Does it seem to be holding up well? Everything you thought it would be?

Some friends and I are thinking of purchasing several and was looking for a little input.

I bought an 8 and a 9". Tried both and stayed with the 9, sold the 8" pretty quick. If I had to do it again, I'd buy a 10"

I have a 9" dark grey recurved and I'm very pleased with it. I had a taller Clearview which I sold. The Long Ride is much cheaper and I can't tell the difference as far as quality.

They've earned my business not once but twice. Bought the 6" dark then moved up to the 8" dark works great. If I need to purchase another windshield the guy's at Long Ride Shields will be my first choice.

I bought the 8" lt. gray for my Ultra and a 6" lt. gray for wifes Classic. Both shields fit great and work great and you can't beat the price. We can both see over the shields with little to no wind in the face or extra buffeting. I thought I'd be putting the tall, stock clear shield back on for long trips or cold weather riding but I don't think I"ll need to. Worth every penny.

Add another to the list of happy customers. I've done a couple of 2K plus trips with mine and have been very pleased with it. Cost wise, i don't think they can be beat!
