Windshield Comparrison
For the last 4 years, I've been using a 10" smoked clearview recurve on my 05 ultra and have been very happy with it. Since the stock shield on the '11 SESG is too short, I took the clearview 10" off the 05 and put it on the SESG while I waiting for my new SG shield.
I ordered a Freedom Shields Dark Tint 8" based on some recommendations but had reservations that it might be too short. My new shield arrived this last week, and over 3 nights of testing back and forth between the clearview and my new Freedom Shields 8", I was able to determine the two shields were nearly identical in wind pattern. Freedom shields allows you to leave the protective cover on and test ride the shield. If it's not right, send it back and they'll send you a taller or shorter one to try until your satisfied, as long as you don't remove the protective cover. I'm going to keep the 8" freedom shield for the '11 SESG. Pictured below in order: 1. Front view, clearview 10" 2. Side view, Clearview 10" 3. Side view Freedom Shields 8" 4. Front view Freedom Shields 8" 5. Clearview (left) / Freedom (right) back to back.

Interesting. The Freedom has a lot more curve in it doesn't it. I use the Clearview 12" recurve today. But I could see trying a 10" Freedom in the future.
Thank you for the comparison.

The Freedom's also more squared off, which should be far more comfortable for the passenger. It's shaped similarly to my Windvest.

Awesome mike! the shorter,thicker shield most likely has less deflection from the wind too giving you a smoother ride!

Looks like it has more of a vertical stance as well.

How tall are you? I'm thinking that I might need to replace mine one day, given that I ever get to ride it...

I could use a wee bit less wind, maybe I'll try one next time in the same 10" height as my Clearview.
Thanks, Mike!

That would probably be pefect. I still get a little buffetting with the 8, but like I said, it's about the same buffeting as the 10" clearview.
