I had told some folks I'd post a review of my 14 inch Freedom Shield once I got it on and tested. I went with the light tint. For comparison I'm 6'2" with about a 34 inch inseam and look about 2 inches over stock 14 inch windshield. The wind was hitting me right at eye and ear level with the stock windshield.
Initial impressions are the tint is very light(I like it), there is a very slight distortion at the recurve but not bad. Shield seems to stand a bit more upright than stock, have not measured it, maybe a half inch or more. So far as wind it pushes the air about 2-3 inches higher than the stock shield. Its still hitting my helmet about mid height but at least its out of my face. I wear a half helmet so its a few inches above my face. Wind noise is reduced but maybe still a bit more than I expected. I can overcome it with radio volume now where that did not work before. Can't tell that the vents have any effect other than to direct air right at me I guess due to height. Did not get a chance to try it with my wife on back. I may look at getting a 16 or 17 for distance touring.
