I ran Freedom shields with my Street Glides and loved them.  When I moved to the '15 RGU, knowing the Freedom reputation, I went with one.  Thing is, the SERGU faring design was allowing for a bit less wind on me but more side wind on Vickie.  The Freedom did not help alleviate that issue.  After reviewing some posts here and their website, I tried Clearview and was very happy.  The flip out at the top was similar to the Freedom but the small extra on the bottom sides of the Clearview (and a bit of a forward flip on that part, too) really helped with the passenger side wind.  I also installed the Kuryakyn adjustable side protectors...made the biggest difference.
I've posted pictures of the Clearview installed on Beauregard here on the site but can't find them on my laptop.  I rode in this morning and will take a couple to post.

I put a Xlarge, smoke tint Clearview with the re-curve on my CVO Limited. The top of the shield is inline with my mustache and the gentle re-curve does not distort my line of sight when I need to crouch down in a rain storm. Or at  least that is the plan. The bike is still sitting at the dealer with 1 mile on the odometer. (living in Northern Ohio sucks.)

For you RG folks I put 37,000 plus miles on my RGU and nothing works as well as a Madstaad. You may not like the way it looks, but if you are a function over form kind of person like me there is only one answer....

Here's a couple pictures of the lightly tinted.  I ordered this March of 2016 so the pictures reflect 2 years of service.  You can see this thing holds up well with little to no distortion.
Here's what I ordered:
Width:
2015 ROAD GLIDE GT SHAPE
Height:
MEDIUM
Color:
LIGHT GRAY
Vent Options:
NO VENTS

..... i just installed a 15" LRS Stingray on the '16 SERGU
...... i'm 6'1, look just over the top of the recurve & when in motion the wind flow is 3- 4" above my helmet & 1 handwidth away on each side.
....... the 'scalloped' sides of the Stingray seem to generate a little more wind noise than stock, but  pretty minor.

Look into F4 Customs for windshields.  They are harder to scratch especially compared to the HD stock shields.  They are American made too! www.f4customs.com

I just checked out their website. Nice looking windshields for sure BUT a lot of people are looking for curved windshields to redirect air flow from the rider or passenger.

I went to the site and that's what I was thinking, too, there Dawg.  It is a nice shield if you are looking for a better option than stock and made in the USA
