I have an extra windshield for my 1014 Limited. I had a discussion today with a friend who has a 15 CVO Road Glide. He is on the fence and wants to upgrade as do I. What is everyone using and how do you like it. I have a LRS and that is what he is looking at.

I like freedom shields, they are thicker than most, less flexible and the edges are polished smooth.

What size are you running on your Road Glide?

im running a CLEARVIEW on my 16 RGU, works great and better for BSR than the LRS. the LRS is a good bang for the buck but cant beat the CV for rider and passenger comfort... i went with the dark tint but if i did again think i would go with a  lighter tint. my 2 cents  (fixed it)

I ran a 14" Freedom shield for about a year in the light tint.  Liked the shield but got a bit more wind on me and my BSR than we liked.  I'm fairly tall at 6'2" and was looking 2-3 inches above the 14".  Now running their 16" in light tint and don't like the looks as well but I can still see over it and my BSR likes the less wind better.  I think the non Ultra RG's sit low enough a shorter shield works better for them.

i have a medium tint mako from lrs for my 2013 road glide.  i have the shortest model, 11'' and it sits just about an inch taller than the 12'' wind splitter from hd.  due to the more upright positioning of the lrs.  it has a wider top section so i get a much nicer bubble of air behind it.  lot less wind noise, less air in the face, ends up equating to better sound from the speakers.

for the price, i don't think you can beat it.

For 15 and up Road Glide, Clearview, Clearview, Clearview!  I have tried almost a dozen different windshields over 15 years and nothing compares to the Clearview I have on my Road Glide. When I bought the 15 Road Glide I was very frustrated with the wind around my ears. The Clearview windshield flares out at the bottom just enough to break the wind away from the sides of your head. They come in different heights which is very much a personal preference but I tell you it’s definitely worth a look. And NO, I am not affiliated with the company in anyway.

I'm sure you remember from older threads and discussions about selecting the right windshield height DCFIREMANN that you need to know more about a rider then just overall height and bike they ride since it deals more about rider's torso height and riding position (slumped over or upright etc.) You can have two riders both 6'2" but one has his height from his legs and may have a 34" inseam and the other has a long torso and only a 30" inseam.....That would affect where the windshield height is in the way or is in the ideal spot.
This link may help in selecting the right height for your needs:

I have always had good luck and service with Clearview shields for my Electra Glide Ultra or my Road Glide.

Check out Freedom Shields https://freedomshields.net/ just give John a call after you do a little research on his site. His customer service and products are second to none in my opinion. He will guide you in the right direction for fitment and you are allowed to leave the plastic on and ride for as long as you need to make sure that it is the right fit for you and your bsr. If your initial order is not right he will GLADLY allow you to return it for the right size and tint or even a refund minus shipping of course.
John is awesome to deal with and gives members here a 15% discount. Call him guys you've got nothing to lose.

That is always a good selling point. More people on here like the freedom. I am trying to help 1dcfireman out with his new windshield. Him and I do a little riding together and he is chomping at the bit. I have told him several times ASK on the CVO Board. This place is a wealth of information. Thank you everyone and keep them coming.

Running a Freedom 14" in light tint. Will not go back to LRS like I had previously even if they are half the cost. They're less than half the quality of the Freedom shield. I'm just under 6' tall with a 34" inseam on a stock Hammock seat.
