1. Sit on your bike in normal riding position.

2. Look straight ahead — not up or down.

3. With a level or something flat, draw a line from the tip of your nose to over your bike dash. You can also look straight ahead and choose the measurement you are looking directly at.

Tip: Not sure? Ask us before ordering — we’ll verify your setup.

Help choosing the right height before it ships Protective film test ride and exchange support Real rider support before and after the sale You’re not guessing on height alone — we help you choose a windshield setup that fits how you ride. During peak riding season, build and shipping times may increase slightly due to demand.
Most riders choose Medium Tint for the best balance of comfort, looks, and visibility.
What Height Do Most Riders Choose?
Most riders want to look over the windshield, not through it. That’s the biggest factor when choosing height. You’re not trying to hide behind the shield — you’re trying to stay comfortable while keeping a clear view of the road.
If You Want More Comfort
Go slightly taller. This pushes more wind over your head and reduces fatigue on longer rides, especially on the highway or with a passenger.
If You Want A Lower Look
Go slightly shorter. You’ll get a cleaner, more aggressive look and still benefit from the AirCurve, but you may feel a bit more wind depending on your setup.
Between Sizes?
Most riders lean toward the option that matches how they ride. Long-distance touring riders usually go a bit taller, while shorter rides or city riders often stay lower.
What Is AirCurve?
Freedom’s AirCurve is what makes these windshields ride different, not just look different. The recurve at the top helps drive airflow about 2–3 inches higher than a standard windshield so you get cleaner air, less buffeting, and a more comfortable ride without needing to go overly tall.
Better View Without Giving Up Comfort
Because the airflow is lifted higher, many riders can run a shorter windshield and still stay comfortable. That gives you a better view over the top without sacrificing real-world wind protection.
More Stability And Strength
Freedom Shields are thicker than stock and many aftermarket options, which helps with stability at speed and gives the shield a more solid feel on the bike.
Clearer, Better Finished
You get crystal-clear optical clarity, hand-polished edges, and a cleaner finished look than the cheap distorted shields riders get tired of fighting with.
Exchange & Test Ride Policy
You do not need to guess and hope. Your windshield arrives with protective film on both sides. Leave that film on, install the windshield, and take a short test ride as long as visibility is good. That gives you a real-world feel before fully committing.
Exchanges
The original purchaser can exchange for a different size for full credit on the windshield, as long as it is still in new condition, the protective film has not been removed, and it is returned in the original box with the original packaging.
Returns
Windshields can also be returned for full credit of the windshield under the same conditions. First exchage is on us as long as you speak with us before ordering. Return shipping is the buyer’s responsibility, and a UPS return label can be provided inside the continental U.S. for $25, deducted from the refund.
Important Notes
Laser-engraved windshields are custom and cannot be exchanged or returned. For exchanges or returns, Return Authorization is required first through Freedom Shields before shipping anything back.
Which Tint Should I Choose?
Most riders choose Medium Tint. It gives you the most balanced look on the bike while still keeping visibility practical for normal day riding. Tint choice is mostly about looks and personal preference, not airflow.
Clear
Best if you want the brightest view through the shield or prefer the most open, factory-style look.
Light Tint
A subtle smoked look without going too dark. Good for riders who want a little style while keeping visibility very easy.
Dark Tint
Best for riders who want the darkest, most aggressive look. Choose this more for style than versatility.

Ride Farther. Ride Quieter. See More of the Road.

Long days in the saddle shouldn't mean fighting wind noise, helmet buffeting, or constant fatigue. The Freedom Shields Heritage Windshield is designed to improve airflow where it matters most, giving you a smoother, quieter ride without sacrificing visibility.

Unlike many stock and aftermarket windshields, Freedom Shields' exclusive AirCurve® design directs airflow 2–3 inches higher, allowing many riders to choose a shorter windshield while still enjoying excellent wind protection. The result is cleaner air around your helmet, less turbulence, and more comfort whether you're riding across town or across the country.

Owner Feedback

★★★★★

Completely Eliminated the Buffeting

I was dealing with constant helmet shake and wind pressure on the highway. After installing the Freedom Shield, it was a night-and-day difference. The buffeting is basically gone and the air now flows smoothly over my head. I can finally ride at highway speeds without feeling beat up.

Way Less Wind Noise — Can Hear My Music Again

The biggest difference for me was the wind noise. With my stock windshield, it was loud and exhausting. With the Freedom Shield, everything is calmer. I can actually hear my speakers and ride longer without fatigue.

★★★★★

Shorter Shield — Better Results

I went with a shorter shield than I expected and it works better than my taller stock one. I can see over it clearly, and the air still goes right over my helmet. It’s cleaner airflow, not just blocking wind.

Should Have Done This Sooner

This is one of those upgrades you don’t realize you need until you ride with it. The difference in comfort is huge. No more constant wind pressure or fighting the bike on long rides. I wish I would have done this years ago.
