You're cruising at 65, and your helmet’s dancing like it’s at a rock show. The wind noise drowns out your music, your neck’s sore from fighting the blast, and your passenger keeps asking, “Did you say something?”
We get it. We’ve lived it. That’s exactly why we designed the Flare® Windshield; proven solution to wind noise, helmet buffeting, and all the chaos that comes with poor air management.
What Causes Helmet Buffeting and Wind Noise?
Buffeting happens when turbulent air smacks into your helmet at speed. Stock windshields often send air straight at your head or swirl it around in a way that creates pressure waves. That means constant helmet shake, loud wind roar, and less focus and comfort on the road. It only gets worse the faster you go.
How the Klock Werks Flare® Fixes It
The Flare® features a patented "flip" at the top of the shield that kicks air up and over the rider, creating a calm pocket of air behind it. That means less turbulence hitting your helmet and a quieter, more stable ride.
The patented side “hips” redirect wind outward and create downforce, adding front-end stability and reducing side pressure. It’s not just a better feel but it’s a safer, more comfortable ride, especially on touring bikes like the Road Glide or Street Glide.
The Flare® is backed by wind tunnel testing and thousands of road miles. This isn’t marketing hype. It’s air management, engineered for real performance.
Rear Benefits You’ll Feel Instantly
Clearer Audio at Speed
With smoother airflow comes real-world audio gains. Rider or passenger, you’ll actually hear your speakers again. With wind pushed up and away, your tunes cut through clean with no more fighting to hear lyrics or directions over the wind.
Pro Tip: Sound still not loud or crisp enough? Check out Dynamat®! Our fairing kits are custom cut to fit perfectly resulting in reduced wind noise and vibrations and improved audio clarity.
Less Rider Fatigue
Reduced wind pressure on your chest, head, and arms means you’re not white-knuckling the grips to stay stable. You can ride longer, stay focused, and feel better when you arrive. Your ride becomes something you enjoy and not something you endure.
Passenger Approved
The smoother airflow created by the Flare® extends back to your passenger too. No more helmet slap or shouting over the wind. It’s a more comfortable experience for both of you.
Improved Stability
The Flare®’s built-in downforce adds front-end stability and reduces front-end wiggle, especially when loaded down or in crosswinds. That translates to more confidence at speed and better control when it counts.
Style That Performs
Function doesn’t have to be boring. The Flare® looks as good as it rides. Sleek, aggressive, and available in different heights and tints to match your stance and your style. It gives your bike a custom edge without overdoing it.
Built to Take the Hits
Klassic tint Flare® Windshields are made from hard-coated polycarbonate and are far more impact-resistant than acrylic shields. That means it’s ready for bugs, rocks, and unexpected weather without flexing, cracking, or fading out. It's durability you can count on. However, our Kolor Flare® Windshields are made of acrylic, our only option to achieve that fluorescent POP of color our riders have also come to know and love.
Bottom Line, This Is the Fix
If you're dealing with helmet buffeting, excessive wind noise at highway speeds, trouble hearing your speakers while riding, or just want a more comfortable ride, this is your answer. The Klock Werks Flare® Windshield isn’t just another accessory. It’s a major upgrade in comfort, control, and confidence.
