Seems the general theme is about 12" for riding 2 up. I also did not like the tinted shield at night, found it was to hard to see out of. I'm hoping with the clear I can stay out later before I have to start heading back home, more riding time is always good.
As a side note: I also enjoy breaking the bulbs, makes me feel like a rebel.

I had a 11" light tint. freedom on my ultra and moved it to the Triglide. It wasn't the same for her... Went with a dark tint 13" keeps her happy.... I should really stay dry in the rain now The tint doesn't bother us. We don't ride in the dark because of the deer. The only time ride when its dark now is if were in the hills to late during Sturgis. The bike has a lot better lights than the ultra did, so it still shouldn't bother..... I can always look over some.

Some other things that affect how well each of our chosen windshield height performs are:
• Rider height.
• Passenger height.
• Height change for any non-stock seat mounted.
So, once you select a manufacturer, make sure you take good measurements to get the height needed for you and your passenger, on the actual seat you'll be using. I've been demoing seats for over a month, and have experienced increased buffeting and bug strikes to face shield due to a rise in seat height for some demo models.

We found out she sits different on the trike than the Ultra. The 11" was great for her on the Ultra, she gets blown all over the place with it on the trike thats why I went two inches taller. It looked the same to me on the front. But she sits a lot higher. Also I had to move the tour pack forward. She was far enough back. could have put a small cooler between us. Moved it to the front holes and shes still farther away than on the Ultra. She says she looks over me now. before she looked into the back of my head.... Maybe thats how she always knew what I was thinking....
I want to put a 10" recurve on mine.
Waiting for a decent sale so I can spend my hard earned money. LOL
Thanks for the responses guys. I should add that I ride with a half helmet and after close to a hundred miles my ears are whistling dixie due to the wind. I know switching helmets would help but the one I use has sentimental value and I really would like to stick with it if I can.

Has anyone ever tried the Klock Werks Shields? Just looking for all information for a new shield. Thanks

I have a lightly smoked windshield from Fast Aire.com, $38.00 at my door in 3 days. I put one of these on an earlier bike and had the same great service and price.

Beware of liberals posing as Americans.
The Freedom Shields are 30% thicker then the stock shields. Are there any issues with any gaps on the side that might let water in? I heard the Freedom Shields are clear even at the top where the curve is? That sounds great to me but I was concern if there any gaps on the side.

I am running an LRS, light smoke, 10" flat top on mine. I see just over the top of it. Seems less buffeting for my passenger that the stock shield that cracked.
It is what it is.

I have an 8 inch windvest recurve on my 2016 as well as my old 2010. I’m 6 ft tall and my wife is 5-7, this size has worked great for both of us over the course of 35000 miles. The recurves are amazing. Can just see over the top of the dark smoked shield.
