Klock Werks Flare Windshield Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- In todays video, I review the Klock Werks Flare windshield for my Harley Davidson touring motorcycle, a 2018 Ultra Limited and it is the BEST I have seen. I review the Flare Windshield and show you three different windshields on the bike, on the road. 8.5. 10.5 and 11.5 in Tinted and Dark Smoke. Real on the bike look and thoughts, may just be the best Motorcycle Windshield out there
Regardless what motorcycle you ride, Klock Werks has a solution and these windshields from Klock Werks may just be your last.

Been riding with Klock Werks for 8 years because of the ride performance. Highway speed, and more importantly blow-by from semis, becomes much more stable. I don't get "moved" in my lane as much. That's the touring advantage to the down force.
Great product!
They seem really great Bob and I appreciate that feedback. I look forward in seeing a long run with this.
Have the 8.5 I’m 5’9” and it’s absolutely perfect. Have a Harley 4”, 6”, and a 8”. The clockwork 8.5 is day and night from my others. Great vid.
Thanks Kevin, I really like the 8.5 but just to dang short. Quality product for sure!!
@@BoDean52 hear that. It’s all about buying stuff that fits you. That’s why I stick with Harley lots of making it mine.
In Michigan as well and looks like you are also.
@@kevinanthony2724 I am 👍
I am 5'9" too and I have strong doubts between the 8.5" and the 6.5". I am concerned the 8.5" would be in the middle of my eyeline, whether the 6.5" may not protect me from wind & water. What do you think?
I watched your review on all of them and I went back and watched the 10.5 tinted two or three times. That one is by far my favorite. I've been thinking about getting a new windshield for my bike. The stock CVO windshield is just fine, but it is small. Based on your review I will keep these guys at the top of my list when I start shopping. Very well done sir!
Thanks Ty and I would recommend looking at Klock Werks for sure!
@@BoDean52 Finally pulled the trigger on this and ordered a 6.5 tinted for the CVO. I appreciate your recommendation!
I have tried (3) windshields. Klockwerks, Freedom Shields & Long Ride Shields. The Freedom Shield touring width is the best. I ride a '16 FLHTK. I found out that the Klockwerks is good except that if you ride on a windy day you will get buffeting badly. Not so much with Freedom Shield. Freedom Shield has great customer service & they will allow you to test ride their shield plus they have various sizes in heigth & the wide touring width is phenomenal especially on a FLHTK. Well made product.
Appreciate you watching and glad yours is working out. I guess time will tell here! Ride safe
I like number 1 for your vlogging. See more of the scenary. Number 2 for long travels
That’s actually a great idea! The 8.5 I definitely like the best but just does not give me as much protection.
I bought a Memphis Shades Dark to clear, and what bothered me was that as I came upon a vehicle in less than bright, I would just not see it. I think I only did a few vids with it on. Great information. Thanks.
Some people do like Memphis Shades as well. Can't talk to them in comparison but know I like these. Ride safe Bob
Very informative. Just put on 8.5 on my 2019 UL. Perfect. Thanks for the guidance.
You bet and I’m a pretty big fan of their windshield. Ride safe.
I got the 8.5 in. Dark Smoke (I’m 5’ 11). I can see over with no problem. It was a night and day difference from stock. Took it up to above speeds a few times and no difference in the wind management and no buffering. And yes it looks good but it will cut off road view for the viewer.
I actually am going to go with the 10 1/2 tinted, amazing on the wind and still has some style compared to the clear stock. The dark smoke is pretty cool looking though
At 5'9" I just ordered the 8.5 today because I have never been a helmet wearer, but recently bought a modular helmet and experienced buffeting for the first time on a ride last weekend. Your review convinced me the 8.5 will be perfect. I did the measurement advice I've seen, and pretty sure I that's the size for me. I live only 60 miles from Klock Werks and love seeing the love for this company. For your vlogging, the best shield was the 8.5 but at 6'2" I certainly understand you loving the middle size. Maybe you can raise your GoPro mount a couple inches and have the best of both worlds.
That’s some pretty good advice and I actually tried playing with a GoPro mount but then it gets in my field of vision it bothers me a little bit. I’ve been working with a klockwerks folks for a while now and they are just such good people with a great product. I just put their lights on my entire road king over the past month and real happy with it. Good luck and let me know how yours works out
I am 5'9" too and I have strong doubts between the 8.5" and the 6.5". I am concerned the 8.5" would be in the middle of my eyeline, whether the 6.5" may not protect me from wind & water. What do you think?
Great comparison review Bob! I worked with plexiglass and polycarbonates for about ten years and I can tell you, the more bends in the sheet (not Sheetz) the more distortion it's going to have. One other issue folks need to be aware of is the level of tint. The darker it is the more problematic it is night riding. I personally put a medium tint Freedom Shield on my 2017 SGS a couple years ago after watching a video by some dude by the name of Colin...lol It also has the flare up design.
Colin, is he the guy that owns those Sheetz gas stations? Thanks Dusty I really appreciate that and some good advice there
@@BoDean52 No Bob I don't think that's the one, unless he also models skinny jeans...
I own both the 8.5 and 10.5. I'm also 6' 2" on a Street Glide with a Lapera Daddy Long Leg seat which places me 2" back. I agree the 10.5" is a clear winner for me. I'm also running 12" Dominator Meathook handlebars which fit underneath the 10.5 shield. Great review, thanks!
Appreciate that and I’m like you I have a few windshields from klockwerks in my garage. Sound like you have an awesome bike.
Yes the windshield pouch fits with the 8.5in I have it on my bike
It’s a snug fit but it definitely fits
I have the 10.5 tint on my 2020 Ultra. At 6'4 it is perfect. Absolutely love it and can't wait for the many miles behind it. It is perfect for the wife who is a passenger as well.
That’s what I ended up with so great hearing you say it too.
I’m 6’4” also and I have the same bike as you......where is your line of site? Do you sit straight up when you ride or do you slouch?
@@geraldsuelter3217 over the top of the windshield. When riding solo I slouch some back but when 2up I sit straighter.
Thanks for the response....it was a huge help
Flare windshields are the best design against wind protection...I have the Memphis Shades Batwing with the 9inch flare styled windshield on my Dyna FatBob...I agree on your choice to change to a Flare style shield👍😎
Thanks Brad and I now have Klock Werks on both my Road Glide and Road King, they work well for me. Ride safe
@@BoDean52 You too👍😎
I'm 5' 10" and I went with the 8.5 smoked. I also have the HD Hammock seat which sits me up another inch from the stock seat. Like you said the key thing is the measurements when your on the bike. I'm happy with mine and have only had to get one more set of torx bolts for it, nice good review, cheers, 😎😎😎
thanks Cabby and I love the dark smoke, wish it was tall enough. Appreciate you.
I like your video & your new ride! I have used Long Ride Shields, Freedom Shields & Klockwerks Shields. In my opinion, Freedom Shield touring width with different sizes is far superior. The customer service is fantastic. The Klockwerks is very durable but there is visual distortion looking down thru their windshields. I also know that wind protection is best with Freedom. I ride a '16 FLHTK & I am not affiliated with any windshield company. Enjoy your ride!
Appreciate that as you have had each one, you would have good view. I do think they can be like seats too, preference. Ride safe
ThnX for your great enthousiastic video. Because of this review I measured ad exact as possible and ordered the 8.5" in dark smoke. It should maybe be a not available 9.5"...The 10.5 in darksmoke is esthetically too big and you just can't look over it. The looks of the bike are also important to me...that's why the 8.5" is a great investment in enjoying driving !! Grtzz from The Netherlands.
My pleasure Ron and glad it helped, let me know how you like it!
I put the 14 in. Sport Flare on my Road Glide. Love it so far. Looks and performance.
I checked yours for sure and think they look even better on RGs
You changed windshields 4 times without stripping the bolts.......... Now that's impressive 😎
Really funny that you say that, putting the one that I decided to keep on my motorcycle was a problem and now I’m afraid to take the thing off ever again 😂
@@BoDean52 yep you stripped it... 😉
The windshield on a bagger effects the physics of the bike. As you mentioned the way the rider sits, added weight in the bags, and possible passenger. It increases down force on the front end and vortex effects of speed wind deflection.
No doubt about that
I have a Tri Glide, and stand at a giant 5’2”. I believe my factory windshield is the same as what was on yours. I just ordered a 5” dark smoke. Fingers crossed
Good luck, can’t wait to hear how it looks
bro, same bike and same height, and same state!! lol to bad i didn't find ya sooner! just now started to look for a new windshield after 4 years of being batted around no matter what helmet. will deffinetly take your advice into account.
Awesome man and I love these windshields, ride safe
Ref air on your fore arms. Put your hands towards your mirrors and see/feel where the air flow is. You can make a difference by just angling your mirror slightly towards or away from you, without impeding your rearward vision. Try it, it may help some more. My favourite for screens is Madstad. They are not "cool" they are pricey, but they have worked on all my motorbikes over the last 10 years.
That’s awesome advice, thank you sir!
Love how you show the windshields on the bike and on the road. And you give the good and the bad of each. Great information!
We are looking for a new windshield for Aly’s bike. Since changing out his seat, he is getting a lot of buffering. Still looking for the right solution for him.
Thanks Robin I appreciate that, it definitely took some work and time to show it like that but I thought it was worth it. Good luck on the new windshield
I love what you did to your garage. Seeing your garage is a great motivation for me to do something with mine.
By the way, I like the looks of the 10.5".
Thank you kind sir and it really wasn’t that much work other than the insulation. I did end up with a 10.5 because it gives me better protection and still stylish
Do this test, put something in your shirt pocket ofcourse without a jacket and ride at highway speeds with a stock windshield and a klockwerks windshield. I noticed stock paper sucked out of pocket klockwerks stays put. Great shields
Good idea but I am tired of flipping out windshields now lol
I have a 10.5 clear on my Electra Glide. I'd say 90% better than stock. Took a little while to get used to. My full face gets buffeted quite a bit vs my open face for some reason. Still really happy with mine after a year. Keep the 10.5, you won't be disappointed.
That is the one I ended up with, 10.5 Tinted. Does your clear still have some distortion?
Thanks for the detailed but realistic review. I have a 2019 Limited and have been interested in one of these. I spoke to another rider who swore by his. My local shop has demos to bolt on so you can go try before you buy. I’m going to see if I can do that this week.
My pleasure and good luck, let me know what you end up with. Ride safe!
That 8.5in looks great
Thanks and I agree
Had a Klock Werks for acouple years. It was (just) OK. Any dark smoke is terrible at night. Your vids always sound like you're doing a voice-over. Miss any bike sounds etc. for sure. HDR's sounds are GREAT! I went from Klock Werks to LRS's to "the best" windshield out there...Freedom Shields (because they're 30% thicker (stronger) hence they'll never spider crack at the mounting points. Keep that in the back of your mind. Ride safe 👍.
Thanks Robb and guess it is preference. My videos are not voice overs ever and for every one person that mentions it, I usually get 20 that say you have perfect audio 🤷♂️. What can you do 😂
@@BoDean52 oh the audio (your voice) is perfect. But it's one dimensional (void of any engine sounds).
You should test the wind shields with your passenger to see if the wind that misses you doesn't land on the passenger. thanks for sharing. 💕NonnaGrace
Great thought!
I have a all black bike and the 8.5in smoked looks killer.
I can only imagine I’ve really thought about it all blacked out
I have the 6 inch flared one and love it
They are pretty cool for sure, good seeing you brother are you doing good?
@@BoDean52 doing all right. hoping this lock down crap is over with soon haha
10.5 tinted looks like it would work the best , had klock werks before on another bike ,good company to deal with
Totally agree fill up and that’s what I ended up keeping on the bike, ride safe
Great review!...#2 I think!...I tried a 7.5" this spring from a different brand....it was horrible!...I gave it away!...I might try the harley dimo windscreens next season!...stay safe...ride safe!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦
Thanks brother and I would go dealer and try the Demo program for sure. Klock Werks works closely with dealerships
Glad you mentioned the passenger. before you ended the video. 💕NonnaGrace
No way I can forget my bride
Very good and informative video. My eyes can't stand sitting under a ceiling fan for long so wind protection is very important to me.
you know when I was playing back this video I also realize that my are you still good with the helmet shield up. Ride safe
Thanks for the video I just ordered number 2 for my Triglide
That’s great Dale and I think you’ll love it
Looks good! Klock works makes good stuff ! Well done sir ! Functions well also ! That flare makes all the diff with big mama. 😎
For sure AB and agree. Ride safe!
Seeing above the win shield is new for me since I am 5'9". The view looks good. I figure the 10.5 tented windshield is the best one for you.
Thanks Roy and I’m sure that is something that makes you modify what type of windshield you would get. These have a little bit of distortion so if you were looking through them that probably would not be best. Good luck and I appreciate the comment, ride safe
Solid review Bob. A perfect windshield makes such a huge difference. I liked several of these.
Thanks Colin.....when you get the right one it is a game changer. Ride safe
If I would have got to see this a month ago I might have one. As I suspected when I was looking at them the 8.5" would have been too small for me even though I like the look of it over the 10.5". That are not that many pics online of the 10.5" installed on a bike and the ones I did see were not all that flattering. Most of the pics are of the 8.5". The cost of a 10.5 tint up here in Canada is $265 plus tax to my door. That was more than I wanted to take a chance on. If you can post some pics of it from different angles on FB later. Great review :)
I’ll be glad to do that Doug and I did and end with the 10.5. Totally agree that I like the 8.5 look but it’s not worth it if it doesn’t help you. I will post some pictures
I have the same bike will make some videos love the position of the camera right there in the right place gotta do it live the ultra and congrats on the new road glide
Thanks I really appreciate that and that position seems to work best for me. I am loving the Road glide for sure
Great review BoDean! Number 2 looked best.
Thank you fine sir
Man the dark one look so good.
I so agree and it is just too short!
I always enjoy your videos's and honesty but gotta disagree with ya here. Had Klock Works on both a RG and Ultra Limited and had the worst buffeting of any windshield. Could not even keep glasses on my face. I am only 5'10" so that could be a difference. As always....keep em coming!!!!!
Love and appreciate feedback always Marc. That has not been my experience so far but now I switched bikes so we will see. Ride safe
Ohhh I like how that looks on your ride! Looks awesome!!
I love my H-D windsplitter .... same price as Klockwerks but amazing for no helmet buffeting!!
Always loved a tint but ya sucks for motovlogging!!
Never tried those and like seats, people have preferences. I definitely do not feel any as well with the right size on. Happy Mother’s Day by the way
@@BoDean52 ya they all work the same!!! Looks great though on your ride! Harley has free demo for windshields so did some playing around myself!!
Thank you for the wishes for today!
I know you will spoil the Mrs!!
I have had similar thoughts about changing the windshield on my TriGlide ultra. Great timing on your review!! Number 3 is too tall for the vlog use, unless it was clear.
Was thinking the same Bill. If the 11.5 was the right one, I would have need a clear. Going to stay with the 10.5 as my daily driver. Ride safe!
This was a great video. I'm looking at these right now. I too am 6' 2" 1/2ish and, ride a 2014 Ulta. I now know how the different windshields look on the bike. I also just put a lot of money into a stereo so loader music is good to know. I was undecided on the 8 1/2 or 10 1/2. . Think the latter is the way to go. Thanks !!
So glad it helped Jeff and I was pleasantly surprised about the difference with the music. Let me know how it goes
It's important to mention that u have taller bars. What size are your bars? Yes the camera angle is fine with the 8.5in
Thanks man and they are actually 10 inch bars and I love the 8 1/2 but it just does not block enough wind
@@BoDean52 I'm wanting to go with 10.5 bars alao
Hey I didn't mean to sound like that is the only one everybody has there own taste I saw the ornery one put one on and i did some looking around that was what works for me
Oh no worries brother I totally get it and agree
Definitely like the tinted
Same here...winner!
Great video and good timing. I have a 12" LRS that works great but I want to get a smaller one for use in the summer. Looks like the 10.5 is a winner.
You hit a James that’s what I ended up staying with
Hey Mr Bo..haa! everyone knows how important that half inch is 🤣.. funny! Anyway.. for me, I prefer a light tint since I spend a lot of time riding through patches of shade going through corners.. and gravel happens around here! Never mind all the vehicles that are in a poor state of repair spewing petrochemicals of unknown viscosity onto the blacktop try to watch out for that stuff :-) which brings up the distortion factor of those flared windshields. In time you get used to that, but those top couple of inches are right what I am looking through to get the clearest view of the road surface. Coming into a corner you need to be looking out ahead but also up close to avoid all the tricks that people leave behind.. I have actually thought about going to the windshield such as the one that you have stock on your bike now.. decisions decisions 🤔
I have no idea what you are talking about, HAHA. All great points and I would say especially with the Tinted I don't see that. The 8.5 did not concern me because I could clearly see over it. The 11.5 Dark Smoke would concern me more with what you said.
Glad u like it buddy
Thanks brother
8.5 looks killer. But if the 10.5 works better , then I would buy to 10.5 tented.
Totally agree and the 8.5 is like you said, sweet looking
I went with the 12 inch Pro Touring windshield on my Road Glide Ultra
I think those look super good on the Road Glides too. Of course, I watched your video before I made this one 🙂
For me, I prefer having the tinted option on my ride. Blacked out is too dark for me. (Just my opinion)
You are right, the last option may be best for riding comfort, but not for the Moto vlogging.
If voting counts, #2
Thank you sir and I agree with you, #2 is on the bike permanently now
@@BoDean52 I have one similar but the Harley model, only one I could find at that time. Western Canada has limited choices/selection at times. Ride Safe ! Cheers
Been looking at changing my windscreen too. The Mrs is not a fan of the buffeting so I'd be curious to hear what Mrs Bodean has to say about the various windscreens, too.
I ended up deciding was gonna keep the 10 1/2 on the bike so hopefully it works for her too 😂🤷♂️
I have had a LRS shield since a month after I purchased my 18 ultra, looks good and works good. I rented a tri glide 2 weeks ago in Vegas and the stock windshield on it and the wind about wore me out
That’s a great point especially on long rides how the windshield helps fatigue
Great video, nice job. I agree with you, the second one looked best to me & looked pretty stylish as well. The first one looked good but probably didn’t do much better than the stock shield. The last one I didn’t like at all. Way too close to your eyeline. But #2 looked ok. For me I’d stick with stock but that’s just me. Looks like they sell quality product’s. looking forward to your verdict.
Thanks Dave I’m actually going to go with #2 and let’s see how it does but it seems good to me right now. Ride safe and appreciate you watching
When testing the 10 inch screen, your subscribe button popped up and blocked my view! I could've wrecked!
😂 sorry man
Thanks much for this. I'm seeing a lot of distortion in those screens.
My pleasure and I still like this windshield. I look over the windshield so not a huge deal. The only area I struggle with is when running a road with big hills, it can be a challenge. Ride safe
You should have looked at Memphis shades There windshield is thicker and it doesnt flex in the wind , very little distortion
There are some good ones out there for sure
I've found that the flair changes your view of the edges. You called it distortion. While you may not notice the difference, but if riding in a group, the edge of the road isn't where you think it is.
Something I will keep an eye on Richard, appreciate the thought. Ride safe!
Richard, not a criticism, but shouldn't you be looking over the windshield?
@@jolkraeremeark6949 Generally yes, but the windshield is clear, so your vision still notices the changes.
@@richardthomson1499 I could see that being a distraction. What do you have on your bike?
@@jolkraeremeark6949 The stock ultra limited windshield. I'm lucky, I must be the perfect height.
I couldn't tell from the video, but did you notice a gap between the outer and inner fairing? The Klockwerks windshields are much thicker than stock and other aftermarket brands. Don't know how much that would affect the seal (not that it's supposed to be water tight anyway).
I actually did not....will take another look!
I like number 2 windshield
Thanks and that's the keeper for sure! Ride safe
I have the 8.5 dark smoke on mine. But i have the 10.5" on my radar for longer rides. I like the look of the 8.5 the best, but i do still get a little buffering. As easy as they are to change out, I'm thinking ill just have 2. The 8.5 for around town, local riding. The 10.5 for trips that are several hundred miles. Not sure if i want the dark smoke or light smoke in the 10.5".
I can see keeping the 8.5 here too but the 10.5 works best for me long runs I think to your point. Little concern about the 11.5 Dark though for me. They are solid windshields for sure!
The only thing I can't get over is the distortion view in the shield.
Get that for sure and talked about that in another video. I road the Smokey Mountains and it was a problem if your riding a bunch of hills or elevation changes. Otherwise, I am looking over the windshield. This to me is my daily windshield but I do go clear on long trips. Ride safe
I just ordered the 10.5 dark smoke. I am almost 6'2" and the HD 10" is not bad but I am supposed the Klock Werks deflects air in a better way.
It will look real sharp but is is dark for sure. Good luck
Let us see...
Now I look above and not through. In case I go back to the HD 10 inches and I sell this one to someone 7 feet tall...lol
Merry Christmas!
I like #3
good call!
Bob, jus to be clear, you're reviewing the Klock Werks Sport Flare windshields--not the Pro Touring windshield--correct?
Let me check Dave, I have done so many reviews for them. Don’t want to misguide you
For me #3 clear.
Thanks for watching Mark
Great video/comparison. Quick question, is there a difference in actual mounted height between the 10.5 OEM and the 10.5 Klock Werks?
not much and Klock Werks will tall you and I agree that because of the flare on the top, you don't need one as tall potentially. I just put one on my RG, same size and it is much better especially at highway speeds.
The only way i cured buffeting was with a vented windshield, i have a road glide and a street glide, buffeting is nearly non existant on the road glide because of the three vents, the batwing just has a small vent below the windshield which doesnt allow enough air to decrease the negative pressure, to me the batwing keeps more air off of you, but the road glide fairing is a smoother ride however i feel more wind on my body
I get that, and there’s just so many things to me that fall into the wind. Motorcycle, windshield, seat, position. Once you get one stick with it, right
I like the 10.5 get the dark smoke. Ride hard or stay home 😎
Love that Ride Home or Stay Home Jim. I do like the Dark Smoke and the 10.5 is best for me. The challenge is the Dark Smoke at that height causes video problems. Going to stay with 10.5 tinted though.
Hey, great video- G'day from Australia! I'm not sure why but I'm 5'11" and I must be a freak with a long body or something... I think I'll get the 10.5 and see, if its the same height as the stock then that will be good as I see way over that one and the Harley windsplitter. Stock ultra seat, wild one 579 bars.
Oh and by the way, if you ride a street glide or have shorter rear shocks, you will have different screen needs to the Ultra with its 13" shocks. .... you need a shorter screen...
Thanks Chris and you are right on about not only the shocks but the seat and how that makes a difference. Hope the weather in Australia is a little bit better than here. Ride safe
The one thing you guys NEED TO SHARE is THE SPEED your traveling ...as you take to the road ! Because for me I don't really need a wind visor until I get to 90 mph and above
Good advice Tim
Wow, great reviews. I have thought of these for the Goldwing. I am a very short guy and look through the stock windshield on the Wing. I am afraid of the distortion that I would surely have to contend with. I don't think that it would work for me. I am just not tall enough to look over event the short ones. Thanks for the eval. Be safe. Number 2
Thank you sir and I did end up with #2 as my choice. I know they make these for a lot of Goldwings as well. I’m not sure if the clear one has any other distortion or not. Appreciate you brother
Hey Bob, What gloves you're wearing. Oh and great channel.
Thanks Paul I really appreciate that and they are Cortech Gloves. If you look through my videos I did a review on them and in the description of any one of my videos there’s a link in there you can click and go right to the gloves. I am a huge fan of them
At night the tint is dangerous. At least here in LA Ca. It has been shown as an increasing cause of night accidents.
I don’t disagree with you Mark, that said 95% of the time I am looking over the windshield
Good video explaining. Nice riding area.
Appreciate that David, ride safe!
I have a demo 8.5 on my bike now I guess I better try taller I am about 6.2
Good luck with it and you will know when you get the right one I think.
The hips don't lie.
Thats what I have.... awesome !!
Big fan here
Windshields are extremely tough to figure out. I do love a dark tinted windshield but we are always riding curvy, hilly roads like you describe so it probably wouldn't be the best for me. How did the Mrs like the windshields?
Funny you said that I just made another video specifically about that dark tint. We really like it a lot but I am going to look at a little taller windshield that is lightly tinted so you really don’t have that distortion
Most helmets today have a tinted internal visor.
That's true
Never close the vent behind the windshield. I had the mid tint klock on my 08 Ultra, the tall one, it stopped some but not all. The 08 didn't have the vent and I fought it for 3 years before trading for the Spyder RT.
I definitely leave the vent open and they do make a window pouch which I have been specifically made for those vents. I am not a fan of the walk necessarily but it surely is convenient
What seat are you running? Is it stock or a tall boy seat?
Hi Jason….I tried the tall boy for a short time and been running a Mustang for over a year. In the description of the video there is a link to the extract one. I will also link a video on it. Good luck

Where did you get your mirrors?! Those are exactly what I have been looking for
They are Harley Split vision mirrors that I got from the dealership. I love Them!
2 forsure
Agreed
10.5in is in the camera sight
Yeah I looked real closely to see if the video still looked fine and I believe it does
Do you get good airflow through your helmet vents?
Not a ton of
I like one but two is probably better for you
Me too Ken....#2 wins but I like the first one too
I have that same windshield on mine. And my eyes view is right at the top of the windshield and I hate that. I am 5’11”
And I to get the buffering at high-speed’s.
Don’t know what size of windshield I need.
Dave, I would hit a dealer and try the demo. I talked about the way to measure and the link from Klock Werks is in the description that may help. What size do you have on, I felt the same with the 8.5 but as soon as I put on the 10.5, fixed. Good luck!
The distortion is from the bends in the acrylic. Tint level has nothing to do with it
Right
The video is fine with the 10.5in
Totally agree, 10.5 was the winner
So what one did u go with?
10.5 tinted....🙂
@@BoDean52 good choice
you should just have a custom bubble made for the bike so you dont feel any air on your arms etc.
You know this is just a review right Anthony? 🤦
👍
Clear vs tint?
Since you look over the windshield I would say tint. If you ride rolling roads, I would go clear. Good luck
