Klock Werks FLARE Frequently Asked Questions
Back to FLARE ordering page
Q What Harley Davidson models do you make the FLARE windshield for?
A All Road Glides and 86 and newer “Batwing” fairing models.
Q Will I get wind in my face?
A Yes, however as opposed to the short stock shields (8” & shorter), the wind
you get will be a “clean” wind instead of the turbulent and choppy wind you experience with the stock shields.
Q Will I be protected from the road debris, bugs and rain?
A No. Some of the smaller bugs may be defected up and over, but it is not designed
for this purpose. Last time we checked, rain falls down, so yes Martha, wet is still wet, rain is still rain – RIDE ON!
Q Will the shield make my bike handle differently?
A The FLARE windshields are designed to put 10-15 lbs of downforce on the front of the
bike at highway speeds vs. 30-35 lbs of uplift with stock shields, meaning your bike is a KITE. Downforce will
provide for a more stable ride at highway speeds.
Q What colors do they come in?
A 6.5” and 8” come in solid black, dark smoke and tint. 12” comes in clear and tint.
Q Can I use my Harley Davidson chrome trim with your windshields?
A Yes, all the FLH and Road Glide trims including aftermarket will work.
Q Will my Harley Davidson windshield bags still fit with your shield?
A The larger single bag will not fit but the dual bag set works fine. The triple bag set
can be mashed in but is not recommended. Many customers cut the triple bag down to the center.
Q Will my radar detector fit with your shield?
A No. A radar detector that is mounted in the recommended fairing mount position will not
fit with our FLARE windshield at this time. Most handlebar mounts work.
Q Will my Harley Davidson GPS fit with your windshield?
A No. A Harley Davidson GPS system that is mounted in the recommended fairing mount position
will not fit with our FLARE windshield at this time. Most handlebar mounts work.
