Let's Find Your Flare™!
Every rider is unique. Whether you’re a Harley-Davidson®, Indian®, Honda®, or BMW® owner, your bike reflects your riding style. At Klock Werks, we understand that no two riders are alike, which is why we’ve dedicated ourselves to making the process of choosing a Flare™ Windshield as simple and tailored as possible. With a wide range of options, expert guidance, and real-world testing opportunities, we’re here to help you find the perfect Flare™ windshield for you and your motorcycle, so you can focus on what matters most: the comfortable and rad ride ahead.
Why Riders Choose a Klock Werks Flare™ Windshield
You might ask, “why should I choose a Klock Werks Flare™ Windshield?” It’s more than just a windshield — it’s a quick, cost-effective upgrade that transforms your ride. As Brian Klock, founder, says, "Choosing Klock Werks is about making the most out of your bike with top quality parts without breaking the bank. Our Flare™ offers superior performance with its unique design, cutting down wind buffeting and improving stability, so you can ride longer and more comfortably."
Unlike competitors and stock options, the Flare™ features a patented "flip" at the top and "hips" on the sides that re-route wind, reducing turbulence and creating downforce for a smoother, more controlled ride. This isn’t just about better air management — it’s about creating a better riding experience with a windshield designed by riders, for riders. With sizes, tints, and styles to match any bike, the Flare™ ensures a more comfortable and safe ride, wherever the road takes you.
Now, let’s talk about how to choose the right Flare™ for you and your ride.
A Guide to Choosing a Klock Werks Flare™ Windshield
First, consider height and line of sight: This is the most crucial aspect of choosing the right Flare™ windshield is its height.
Riders should ideally select a windshield that they can look over while in their natural riding position. This ensures a clear view of the road ahead, which is safer than looking through the windshield, especially in adverse weather conditions. Different Flare™ windshields come in various heights to accommodate different riders' statures, riding positions, purchase of aftermarket products like seats and handlebars, and bike models.
Let’s get even more technical with these steps to find the best Flare™ size :
- Grab a buddy
- Grab a straight edge, yard stick, measuring tape
- Hold that straight edge right under your nose and above your lip line and drop into your normal riding position or posture
- Now take a tape measure and measure from the yard stick down to the top of the fairing - the number on the tape measure would be the call to action of the windshield you are going for. For example,if I got a measurement of 7” on my 2020 street glide, I would recommend getting a 6.5” Flare™ Windshield
- Our main goal is to have you looking over the windshield - not through it

Next, consider type of riding and bike model:
Your choice should also depend on your motorcycle model and how you ride. For example, if you own a Harley-Davidson Road Glide® and you frequently ride with a passenger on long hauls, you might consider a windshield with more coverage to ensure comfort for both riders.
For Harley-Davidson® Flares™ we break each windshield family into two distinct size and functionality categories to help riders find a Flare™ to best serve their needs.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Sport Flare™: The Sport Flare™ for Harley-Davidson® FLTR models is more streamlined and offers radical curves and a sportier stance. It compliments the lines of the new fairing with a more aggressive profile, and aids stability and handling with improved air management. Still awesome for the long haul, definitely kool for showing off your ride!
- Pro-Touring Flare™: The Pro-Touring Flare™ for Harley-Davidson® FLTR models is a wider, more full-coverage option for riders and passengers that prefer an even greater amount of wind deflection for the long haul, and is still stylish enough to use around town. Expect the same improved stability that the Flare™ Windshield is known for!
Each Flare™ is designed with specific features to optimize performance for various motorcycle models, such as Harley-Davidson®, Indian®, BMW®, Honda®, and more.
Now the Fun Part: Your Windshields Tint and Kolor Options
Now that you’ve nailed down the right size for your Flare™ Windshield, you can take a breath and have some fun choosing the perfect tint or kolor for your motorcycle! Our wide range of options from classic tints to kolors gives riders a greater ability to customize the look of their rides to match their personal style.
Here’s a overview of the color options available:
- Tint Options: Decide how much light and visibility you want. Go for a lear or tint for maximum visibility and safety, especially in low light or night riding. Feeling bold? The dark smoke offers a sleek, aggressive look and helps reduce glare in bright conditions. Just remember, if you’re looking for style over seeing through, you might love the solid black option — but it’s best for those who prefer to look over rather than through the windshield. This windshield is made of a more durable polycarbonate.
- 2. Kolor Flare Options: Want to turn some heads? The Kolor Flare series lets you add a splash of personality to your bike. With vibrant colors that stand out from the crowd, these windshields provide all the performance benefits of the Flare™ with an added custom flair. Perfect for making your bike pop or matching a specific paint scheme. These acrylic windshield Kolors come in: red, orange, green, yellow, blue, purple, and bronze.
- Ice Series: For those who like something truly unique, the ice series offers Fluorescent finish. This windshield not only looks cool but also stands out with its glowing effect, making your bike unmissable both day and night. It combines that distinctive look with the same aerodynamic benefits and stability of the Flare™ design. This acrylic windshield ice series comes in: pink ice, orange ice, yellow ice, green ice, blue ice.
