Default Another Shield thread?

Sorry guys i looked around but my ADD kicked in and i bailed....soooo. I am looking at the Freedom screens, not sure about the madstad yet LOL> i am 5ft 8 about 30" inseam and sitting on a hammock seat which raises me a wee bit. I thought the 10" would be good but maybe the 11" . Anyone else about my size etc buy one, what ended up working for you ?

Im your size, but got the LRS 10" stingray shield. I was worried it would be too tall, but I like it.

Sorry cant comment on the Freedom.

Measure yourself on the seat have someone hold a tape measure from the top of your fairing to your nose there's your height. Most windshield ventors have this info on there sites.

You say a 2017 glide, but is that street glide or road glide? Windshield sizes are much different between the two.

2017 Glide
Bike is a 2017 RGS. I am 5'9", and sitting on a Rallyrunner seat, the Freedom 11" medium grey touring screen is just a tad too tall for me. If I were you I would start out with a 10" shield. You can always send it back as long as you don't take the protective film off. It takes about 5 minutes to change out.
I have not seen any shield, from any manufacturer, that beats Freedom for service and quality. I have had other riders wave me over asking about what kind of shield I am running, it looks so good on the bike.

Going by his name, I assumed Road Glide.
