Default Freedom Shields

Wanted to put at least 500 miles on the FLHXS before commenting. I replaced the stock windshield with a 7" from Freedom Shields. For reference I am 6' 0". I can't say enough about how happy I am with the quality of the product. I don't think I realized how much of a difference it would make, it has eliminated any wind buffeting I was experiencing.

@Keithhu Ok, I have to ask, it looks like you have a black jiffy stand. The HD website says no deal for my bike. It's been annoying me for three years and I want a black one, what do you have?

Well, it came on the bike, and it has a part number, so you can order it, I presume.

Edit - I just checked, it's not black. Now I'm outraged!

Must have been the shadow/lighting when I took the pic

I made you go look! I know Drag Specialties makes one, but for this bit, I just don't trust anything other than OEM.

You did! I guess you could always powder coat yours?

Yes, that is what I hear people recommend. Maybe I'll get a Wheeldock chock and do that over the winter.

Is the 7” Freedom windshield taller or shorter than stock; and if so, by how much?
