Description of Klock Werks Flare For 1996-2013 FLH (3

Features “hips” at the outer edge of the shield that re-route the air to add downforce to the front of the bike, improving stability vs riding with a stock shield. Flip” at the top of the Flare is designed to kick the air up and back as “clean”, less turbulent air for the rider and passenger. Made from hard-coated polycarbonate material for added durability. Klock Werks recommends you choose a height that you can look over comfortably. Windshield bags WILL work with our Flare. Traditional three-pouch windshield bags work with the 8.5" Tall and 11.5" Tall Flare Windshields.

and seeing claims that dirty air doesn't affect smokers

Let me first say that I'm 5ft 6" and ride an Electra Glide with a long beard. After reading, I ordered the 6.5-inch Flare and saw claims that dirty air doesn't affect smokers and baseball cap wearers. I am currently wearing a bandana to keep my beard from touching my face. I was hoping Flare would fix this, but it doesn't. As for the shimmy, yes it's even more noticeable, plus 70mph is more than I had on the old one. I really wanted this to work and solve some problems, but I took it off and…

Perfect windshield for my Stratoliner

Perfect fit for my 2009 Yamaha Stratoliner, I ordered the fairing from a trailer shop in the US. Thought 11 inches was too high. I'm only 5'6", but my bike sits low so the top of the windshield is right at my eye level. The new fairing and windshield make my cruiser look different and better. Now I can ride with a German half-face. Helmet and Driving is a lot more fun when you can accelerate to higher speeds when the wind isn't in your face and you don't have to wear your whole face in this…

Waste of money on windshields and accessories

I spent about a week looking for new windshields for my Street Glide before deciding on this one. I was using a Harley 7" Wind Splitter and wanted something that would keep my head out of the wind. I even called Klick Werks and spoke to one of their salespeople. He told me this windshield would be a little taller and would make a huge difference from the wind splitter i used well if you have a wind splitter and consider that this windscreen is wasting your money there is no difference even the…

Check your height before ordering

Windshield is breathable. Unfortunately I measured it before ordering as Klock Werks says on their website. I bet if I was riding without a helmet I would be fine but with a helmet in the wind it catches the top of my helmet. As for the installation, 5 out of 5 points. Very easy to install and took about 5 minutes. I like how it looks and how it works. In fact, I've already ordered version 11.5 to replace these. For reference, I'm 5ft 11in, standard 10 FLHTCU seat. I think an 8.5" windshield…

11 1/2 inches, not 10 1/2 inches, was too big for me, sent it back.

I ordered a 10 1/2" reflex sight (KW05-01-0205). I'm 6ft 1" and can't see behind the shield (as I should be). I have a factory seat (large touring seat). Before ordering, I used Revain'z's "Ask a Question" feature to ask other owners if this windshield would fit me given my height. Most people, who responded said I should go 10 1/2". I can't imagine anyone under 6ft 4" being able to see through this shield. Due to the flared design the area of the shield that I can see through is a lot This…
