When Harley-Davidson® redesigned the Street Glide® fairing, it changed how air moves around the bike. The new shape looks sharp, but the stock screen still leaves a lot of riders dealing with helmet buffeting, wind noise and a front end that feels light at highway speed.
Klock Werks® built the Flare® Windshield for the 2023.5 to 2026 Street Glide to fix that. It launched at Sturgis with a single 8 inch shield and sold out of several colors that week. Today it's a full lineup, with four heights, clear and tinted options, 13 Kolor and Ice colors, and an 8 inch Carbon Fiber Flare®.
"Our new Flare® Windshield performs incredibly well, with riders raving about the improved stability and reduced buffeting," says Brian Klock, founder of Klock Werks.

How the Flare® Fixes Street Glide Windshield Buffeting
A flat stock screen sends air straight at your helmet and lets the fairing catch lift at speed. The Flare® uses a patented shape to manage that air instead.
- The flip at the top edge redirects air up and over the rider, cutting helmet buffeting and noise.
- The hips on each side turn wind into downforce on the front end, so the bike feels planted and stable at highway speed.
The shape is designed around the lines of the new Street Glide fairing, so it looks factory and works better than factory.

2024 Street Glide Windshield Sizes and Tints
The right height depends on how you sit, not on a chart. Choose a windshield you can comfortably look over in your normal riding position. The standard Flare® Windshield comes in:
- 6.5 inch in Clear, Tint, Dark Smoke or Black
- 8 inch in Clear, Tint, Dark Smoke or Black
- 10 inch in Tint or Dark Smoke
- 12 inch in Tint or Dark Smoke
Tinted shields are made from hard coated polycarbonate. Solid Black versions are opaque, so they're best on the shorter heights for riders who look over the shield. Not sure which height to pick? Our Find Your Flare® size guide walks you through it.
Colored Motorcycle Windshields: Kolor and Ice
If you want your windshield to stand out, the Kolor Flare® Windshield comes in 6.5 and 8 inch heights and 13 colors.
Kolor Series: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Purple and Bronze, with true, saturated color.
Ice Series: Pink Ice, Orange Ice, Yellow Ice, Green Ice and Blue Ice, with a fluorescent edge that lights up when the sun hits it.
Match your paint, your wheels, or your club colors, and you still get the same patented air management as every other Flare®.

Carbon Fiber Street Glide Windshield
For the most aggressive look, the Carbon Fiber Flare® Windshield was developed with Arlen Ness. It's an 8 inch Flare® built from lightweight, ultra strong carbon fiber that resists impact and delivers the same wind protection and airflow as the rest of the lineup. Carbon fiber is opaque, so it's designed for riders who look over the top. Two mounting blocks are included.
