  • 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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @BoDean52

    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.

    • @BoDean52
      @BoDean52  2 года назад

      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 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

    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.

    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!

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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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 🤔

    • @BoDean52

      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.

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".

  • @ncurc9766
    @ncurc9766 Год назад +1

    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
