When Harley-Davidson® introduced the new Road Glide® fairing, it gave one of the most popular baggers on the road a sharper, more modern face. It also changed how air comes off the front of the bike. Klock Werks® went back to the drawing board and built a complete lineup of Flare® windshields designed specifically for the new style fairing.
The Flare® Windshield for the 2023.5 to 2026 Road Glide started with the 12 and 13.5 inch Pro-Touring shields, then added a 10 inch Sport that debuted at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Today riders can choose from six heights, clear and tinted options, 13 Kolor and Ice colors, and a 10 inch Carbon Fiber Flare®.
"We love hearing from riders who say our Flare® Windshield completely transformed their ride," says Brian Klock, founder of Klock Werks.
A Fresh Approach for the New Road Glide Fairing
The Road Glide's frame mounted fairing already gives it lighter steering than a fork mounted batwing. The right windshield makes it even better. New mounting blocks and hardware were engineered for the 2023.5 and newer Road Glide, giving every Flare® a secure, rattle free fit and better stability at speed. Blocks and hardware are included with every windshield.
How the Flare® Stops Road Glide Windshield Buffeting
Stock screens push air straight back into the rider's helmet, creating buffeting, noise and fatigue on long days. The Flare® manages that air with two patented details.
- The flip at the top edge redirects air up and over you and your passenger, cutting turbulence and helmet noise.
- The hips on each side create downforce on the front end, so the bike feels more planted in crosswinds and at highway speed.
Riders notice the difference right away: less buffeting, clearer audio from the fairing speakers, and a more comfortable ride for the passenger.

2024 Road Glide Windshield Sizes: Sport and Pro-Touring
Choose a height you can comfortably look over in your normal riding position. The standard Flare® Windshield comes in two families.
Sport Flares keep the Road Glide's low, aggressive profile:
- 8 inch in Clear, Tint, Dark Smoke or Black
- 10 inch in Clear, Tint, Dark Smoke or Black
- 11 inch in Tint or Dark Smoke
Pro-Touring Flares add more coverage for long miles and taller riders:
- 12 inch in Tint or Dark Smoke
- 13.5 inch in Tint or Dark Smoke
- 15 inch in Tint or Dark Smoke
Every tinted Flare® is made from Lexan® polycarbonate with an FMR hard coating for scratch resistance. Solid Black versions are opaque, so they're best for riders who look over the shield. Use our Find Your Flare® size guide to pick your height.
Expanding Options: Kolor and Ice
The Kolor Flare® Windshield brings color to the new Road Glide in 8 and 10 inch Sport heights. Each one is molded from high quality acrylic and ships with Kustom mounting blocks and hardware.
Kolor Series: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Purple and Bronze.
Ice Series: Pink Ice, Orange Ice, Yellow Ice, Green Ice and Blue Ice, with a fluorescent edge that glows in the light.
Carbon Fiber Road Glide Windshield
Developed with Arlen Ness, the Carbon Fiber Flare® Windshield pairs the 10 inch Sport Flare® shape with lightweight, impact resistant carbon fiber. It delivers the same airflow and stability as the rest of the lineup with a sleek, aggressive look. Carbon fiber is opaque, so it's designed to be looked over. Two mounting blocks are included.
Fitment: Which Road Glides Does It Fit?
Flare® and Kolor Flare® windshields for the new style fairing fit:
- 2023 to 2025 CVO™ Road Glide® (FLTRXSE), the 2023.5 launch of the new fairing
- 2024 to 2026 Road Glide® (FLTRX)
- 2024 to 2026 CVO™ Road Glide® ST (FLTRXSTSE)
