John at Freedom is a great guy as are his products and service. I ended up with a Freedom shield on every Harley I owned in the last 10 years. As for the nose thing, I always liked it better down around my mouth. That usually put the wind just going over my helmet but getting some air still. Up around my nose I found it cuts into your view too much, especially on rough roads as you mentioned.
You make a really good point Doug, I was watching a short from Mc Ryder today and he talked about how he likes it as his chin as well. That’s about where this one hits so I think I’ve definitely found the sweet spot and I really like this shield.
I never thought much about it, until I had it.... One of the most comfort and ride enhancing options on a touring bike is a power adjustable windshield. Using a small, recurved windshield I can go from clean, full airflow on to my upper body and helmet to a complete bubble of still air past triple speeds on the highway. I can also adjust for temperature, weather conditions and my even my passenger's comfort on the fly. I doubt I'll ever have touring bike without this option ever again.
I like the 13" tinted on your bike best... It works for you and balances nice with the chopped tour pack.
Appreciate that and I totally agree and one of the reasons I really like the 13 inches not only does it do the job, it looks good but it’s a one shield deal. I won’t need to flip anything out.
Freedom Shields are great and the customer service from John is second to none. I called him when I traded for my ‘23 Ultra and he took the time to walk me through the process of ordering the correct windshield for my height. Only windshield I’ll ever use.
Good people for sure
Still waiting for the shipping email but still excited to get mine! They did communicate that it would be 3 weeks before shipping. At that mark now.
Hope it gets there soon but I LOVE IT
I used to have a Freedom Shield on a previous motorcycle. Great product and I seem to remember the service and support to be very helpful. Well done sir.
Thank you, brother. I appreciate you.
I’ve had a Freedom Shield on my last couple of bikes. Great product!
Agree 👍
Good review. I put a Freedom Shield on my Ultra, and was very pleased with it. Great product and company.
I’ve been able to experience both the windshield and the people and customer service and been very impressed so far
I picked up the 10 inch myself. Fantastic product in my opinion. The team at freedom Shields are top tier. Safe travels.
Totally impressed with the people in product here too
Appreciate the review and always nice to have more options!
Run a Harley 4 / 4.5”, can’t recall the exact measurement, wind screen on my SG spring to fall and switch to a taller KW wind screen for winter riding.
Comfort is KING for me. Short one allows bunch of air through helmet vents, tall cuts it down. Both with no helmet buffeting.
Thanks for the info!
Great Video! I'm definitely going to keep watching the channel. I'm enjoying the Klock Werks, but this looks good, too! Thanks
I appreciate that RJ and I am definitely liking the work you’re doing on your CZcams channel.
@@BoDean52 Thanks!
Glad to see there's another choice out there. Looks great too.
Thanks I appreciate that. I’m really working on trying different things. I like this windshield better than the ones I’ve been running for years.
I've been running windvest shields for the longest time. I'm a big fan of theirs but still waiting for them. I might just try one of these. I'll try the 13". Great video!!
Just an update. I ordered a 13" dark tint. Can't wait till it arrives.
looks super clean fam. i absolutely love my freedom shields windshield
It’s 100% keeper for me, I’ve been been impressed so far
Awesome. Glad you got a good Windshield. There are no options for the Street Glide other than Harley. I tried the 10" crease across my line of vision. the 8" is perfect. Nice wind blocking and can hear radio. but no tint. Cant wait for aftermarket to offer options!
Yeah, I think we’re gonna have to wait on a few things
yeah that looks like it works much better than stock. Looks good too
I think so too, thanks man
I picked up the dark tint 13" for my 24 RG. Love it! Freedom Sheilds was great to work with as well.
That is awesome, how hard was it to see-through?
@@BoDean52 Not bad at all. I have not ridden after dusk with is so I can't speak to night riding but I only really look through the shield when coming over a rise in the road.
How tall are you?
Nice review...nice windscreen! Thanks for sharing...stay safe out there!!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦
Appreciate you, brother and I hope you and the family are well
I have the 12” Freedom Shield and love it!!!!
I was pleasantly surprised
How tall are you. I just ordered the 12 in. Im 5-9. Hope its not too tall
@@drugbuster0267 I am just shy of 6 foot three. Try it out and just make sure you keep the plastic on it and they’ll flip it back out for you if it’s too big. I just came back from 1000 mile trip and it performed flawlessly.
such a game changer
Agree, I love it
Yes sir, freedom is it. Looks great, no wired look through, great. Btw, i own freedom on my Road King also. John is a reallly great person . Ride safe.
Well said!
🛑🛑 Great Review!!😀👍
Windshields are really personal preference.
I know some folks like one brand, where others like another brand.
I like when manufacturers allow you to test ride, so you’re not spending money on something you don’t like, or will use.
Great Job!!💯👍
Really appreciate that Gene and I really feel like sometimes I need to check out other products which is good for me and people to watch that the channel. I’m sure you could probably tell but I had an awful time with the audio on this video and almost scrapped it. Hope you’re well and appreciate you brother.
@@BoDean52
The bike looks good. 💯
I was wondering if the Black Finishes were any easier to keep clean, compared to your Chrome Road Glide?
We are doing well, on this side of the country.
Riding Season is starting up in earnest.
I hope you and your family are well. 💯
Send me some pics of Harley. 🐕 😀👍
As always, great video. The KlockWerks 12” is what I have. I love it. I must have missed the video on the mirrors. They are awesome! What are they?

I definitely like them
Wow, looks so good Bob, can't wait until I get mine tomorrow. I swear you are such a bad influence. Of course mine is nowhere that easy. The flip to the shield is very cool. Be safe, have fun.
I wish I could impact your financial health a little more positively than I have, but hopefully you’re happier 😂
That's a nice shield! And it took a bird strike? That's top notch! Good review :D
My thoughts exactly
I have one on my Road King, only issue I should of got 16 I think, if I sit up right I can see over it, but when i sit in normal position I look through it, maybe when get new seat it be better.
That’s true and that’s why I like this one better. There is no distortion and it really gets the job done. It’s interesting as you’re supposed to have the top of the windshield that your nose, but I was watching a Mick Rider video today where he talked about. He likes it at his chin just so he never hast to look through it.
great share fam
Thanks 💯
looks good
Thank you
People keep misrepresenting the purpose of the upper vent in the fairing on this as well as the previous models. The fact is that the vent on the new fairing shape is even more critical than before. That vent is not there for rider temperature comfort ("Air Flow"). The vent is there for pressure equalization which reduces buffeting. This is why when you close the vent buffeting is increased dramatically over having it open. The vent opening controls the level of equalization of pressure.
Correct but it does help especially when you have a larger windshield. Every vent I’ve ever had has been the same reason of what you said. Ride safe
Darn it! I wish I had seen this before I bought the new Klockwerks windscreen. 🤷🏻♂️
That’s a still a good product
Thets pretty cool
Thanks
Is the red and black flooring in your garage glued to the cement?
It is not, they’re actually tiles. You can go to the description in one of my videos and scroll down and there’s a link where you can find those things and I’ll tell you all about them. I really do like them.
Very nice
Thanks
Yeah the 13” looks way better. My stock one was almost right at eye level and it drove me crazy. I need to play with mine now. I might be to low. Yeah that one looks good.
Thanks, Ron and I agree. It’s one of those things when you know it’s the right one. You know it’s the right one.
So you had the dad bike, ultra, traded it for this RG and added tour pak, higher screen, i would have gotten a new full tourer it comes w everything for touring. O well.
Makes sense on the surface but the 2024 is an entirely different bike than previous years other than the frame. Also the full touring models do not come with the same package, only RG, SG and CVO's. Thanks for watching.
Just fyi the camera was not distorted looking through the shield. That’s a plus. My KW does distort. Maybe I’ll see if they make one for the Wing.
Not sure I’m following you. Every KW I have had has a distorted spot regardless of camera or not
Right the KW is always distorted. That freedom shield doesn’t have distortion huge plus. My English not so good. 😂
@@Petesmotoadventure hahaha or me slow as likely
How tall are you?
Just under 6 foot 3
You gotta be in Pinckney
Close and you
@@BoDean52 close to down town Howell
Looks good 👍🏼 You gonna grill that bird for supper?
I know he had a bad day
The 13 is much better, looks good.
Thanks, and that’s the keeper for sure
Yeah, 13 inch shield seems right. That 15 inch shield will probably get you 1-2 mpg higher or lower.
Is actually a good point I didn’t even think about on the gas. Thanks for watching and I definitely like the 13 inch.
bummer about the break
Thanks
It looks big……. It’s not what I’m used too
- Someone’s Wife 😂
It took a lot from me not to say that’s what she said
I just can't grasp buying a motorcycle and making it feel like a car, lol.
Lucky you have your own bike to not do that on 😂👊
Its not the “ wind” problem. But stopping the buffeting. For non- rider, its turbulence that makes your head feel like your getting hit by mike tyson while in a washing machine.
So u must love rain, bugs and rocks hitting your face , neck and chest. Ill never ride without a windshield. I hate it
How tall are you?
6’3”
