Klock Werks FLARE Windshield - named the 2009 V-Twin Accesory of the Year!!
The FLARE Windshield from Klock Werks is a direct replacement for your 1998 and newer FLTR/FLTRI. Options currently available are 8" Chrome, 8" Tint, 8" Black, 8" Dark Smoke (patent-pending), 12" Clear, 12" Tint, 16" Clear and 16" Tint.
We're making them as fast as we can!! The Patented (#D586274) FLARE Windshield was developed at Klock Werks out of a desire/need for stability at highway speeds and for racing on the Bonneville Salt Flats. The "hips" at the outer edge of the shield re-route the wind to add downforce to the front of the bike, which aids stability vs. using a stock shield. The "flip" at the top of the FLARE is designed to kick the air up and then allow it to flow back as "clean" air for the rider.
The FLARE was designed to compete with the short stock shields. If you're riding one of those, you'll love to rock the FLARE! If you have a regular large windshield and are looking to add a sexy windshield as an option the FLARE adds downforce and great looks! In just the change of 3 or 5 bolts depending on application, you can enhance your motorcycle experience. WARNING: You may be detained at gas stations, restaurants, and clubs with questions regarding your SEXY windshield.
Stock shields allow the air to dive down behind the shield and boil around in a choppy, turbulent effect. The FLARE kicks the air out to the sides and up, allowing the wind to come back at the rider in a much cleaner fashion - TRANSLATION is your riding glasses won't want to bounce or lift off your face. The final and absolute most important effect is added downforce as verified by testing in the A2 Wind Tunnel in Mooresville, N.C. The results found that with a stock, short windshield there was 30-35 lbs of measurable lift at highway speeds, meaning your bike is a KITE. Rocking the FLARE adds 10-15 lbs of downforce on the front of the bike at the same speeds. Why not add a spoiler to the front of your bike? Downforce is the biggest advantage of the FLARE, no competitor piece offers this level of performance!
PLEASE NOTE: Harley Davidson radar detectors and GPS systems that are mounted in the recommended fairing mount position will not fit with the Flare Windshield at this time.

Custom-molded from premium quality, hard-coated polycarbonate to provide unmatched durability, and pre-drilled for easy mounting using stock windshield hardware.
A word about coloring....the TINT is about a 30-35% tint (light), clear is of course clear, DARK SMOKE appears black like a stock street glide windshield, but you can see through it in the day time, and BLACK is opaque.
NOTE: CVO RoadGlide owners should not reinstall the backside rubber gasket when installing a Klock Werks FLARE Windshield.
