I tried to search for this topic and couldn’t find a thread on the subject. My apologies if this is a beaten to death subject. I am new Indian owner. I have the 2021 roadmaster limited. The OEM shield is adequate. I want a flared tinted shield. Wondering if anyone had an opinion after road testing each. I’m 5’11”. As I said the factory shield is ok but the air is just over the top of may head. Probably not great for my wife behind me. I think the stock shield is 10”? Figuring a 10” flared shield should be a good starting point. what’s your recommendations between the two? And size? I would like to be able to put it all the way down when not on the highway and enjoy the wind in my face. -thanks
I'm selling Freedom Shields down under here in new Zealand. Guys 5'10" to 6'2" are buying the 14 inch screens. They say it pushes the air over the pillion as this is the common problem with the OEM shields. One guy had a 10 inch factory the other 18 inch, both settled for the 14 inch screen.
I use Freedom and prefer them. I tried LRS and found a mind numbing whistle...plu very long lead times. It depends on your desired sight line (though, or over windshield). With Freedom you can go 1-2" shorter and still have the air go over you. Not sure about the passenger.
It's Klok Werks for looks and functionality. The 12" dark smoke has been my go to for two different Chieftains. Also, they give a discount to IndianRider.net members!
You know, I actually spell very well....it's just the way my fingers hit the keys "....ASDMJKL:...." Whichever you decide on, tinted IS the way to go....
Just be careful when considering "tint". I did a whole rant on this back in 2016.... [Klok Werks] Tint is VERY light and barely smokey. Dark Smoke is what I'd consider "tinted". [/Klok Werks]
Have owned both Freedom and Klok Werks and both good..I like Freedoms for Springfields and Road Kings....choice in sizing very good, mfg warranty very good...results while riding excellent...the whole order/delivery process at Freedom has been excellent for me.....my 2cnts
