Freedom Shield or F4 Customs?

I want to get a recurved windshield for my 2021 Tri Glide. I have heard good things about Freedom shields and F4 Customs too. I need the wind pushed up higher for my wife when she is riding on the back. I believe the trike has a 10” stock windshield height. I am curious if a 10” curve would push the wind high enough. She is about 3-4 inches higher than me. Any comments will be appreciated!
 
I ran a 12" Freedom recurve on my '15, wife was very happy with it, I didn't mind looking through the shield and there was no distortion in the recurve part of it.
 
I recently went with a 12" F4 because I had installed a Road Zeppelin seat and it raised us about 2" higher than the stock seat causing me to catch more wind and bugs in the face with the stock shield.

I have to look through the F4 shield some of the time but mostly look over it but it does move the wind up over both of us.

If I had the stock seat I would be looking through it all the time.

If you don't mind looking through bugs it would definitely work.

There is very little distortion if any at all.

Based off what I have seen with the 12" I believe the 10" F4 may work for what you want with a stock seat.

I have the Freedom Shield 10" Touring width on my '16 and it is 100x better than the stock windshield. I have a Mustang touring seat and it is more comfortable for me and my wife. The wider shield helps with the wind on my hands in the winter.

I have the 12” freedom touring windshield. High quality very clear visibility. Be Safe BK
