The Yamaha® Stratoliner® Deluxe is built for long days on the road, with a factory fairing, hard bags and a big V-twin. But like most stock screens, its windshield pushes wind straight back at the rider, and that turbulence wears on you mile after mile.
The Klock Werks® Flare® Windshield for Yamaha® 2010 to 2014 Stratoliner® brings the same patented air management that made the Flare® a favorite on Harley-Davidson® baggers to the Stratoliner Deluxe. It's a direct replacement for the stock windshield that changes how your Yamaha rides at highway speed.
Say Yes To Yamaha!
The Flare® started on the Bonneville Salt Flats, where Klock Werks shaped a windshield to keep a record setting bagger stable at speed. Riders wanted the same stability on their own bikes, and the Flare® has been expanding to new models ever since. The Stratoliner Deluxe, with its factory fairing and long distance focus, was a natural fit.
You should look just over the Flare®, not through it!
“I’m 6’-3” and have been using the Flare®. I really like it,” (gjearne) said. “I have no problem with wearing a baseball cap at highway speeds. The Flare® sends the air over the top of your head really well.”
Klock Werks always seeks to make parts that look great, make sense, fit right out of the box, and are made of the best quality, right here in the USA. Klock Werks Flare® Windshields are available online at getklocked.com or through your local Drag Specialties dealer.
How the Flare® Cuts Stratoliner Buffeting
A stock windshield blocks the wind but sends turbulence over the top and into your helmet. The Flare® manages that air with two patented features.
- The flip at the top edge redirects air up and over your head, creating a calmer pocket behind the shield.
- The hips on each side push air outward and create downforce on the front end for better stability.
Riders feel the difference right away. "I'm 6'-3" and have been using the Flare®. I really like it," said Stratoliner rider gjearne. "I have no problem with wearing a baseball cap at highway speeds. The Flare® sends the air over the top of your head really well."

Choosing Your Stratoliner Windshield Height
You should look just over the Flare®, not through it. That's the most important rule for choosing a height. Sit on your bike in your normal riding position and note where your line of sight crosses the windshield area. Pick the height that keeps the top edge just below your eye line.
- 8.5 inch in Tint or Dark Smoke, for a lower, cleaner look and riders who sit lower or more forward
- 10 inch in Tint or Dark Smoke, for taller riders or more coverage on long highway days

Stratoliner Deluxe Fitment, Install and Care
The Flare® fits 2010 to 2014 Yamaha® Stratoliner® Deluxe models with the factory fairing, and Stratoliner models fitted with the Yamaha Deluxe fairing kit.
It's made in the USA from Lexan® polycarbonate with an FMR hard coating for scratch resistance, and it installs with your stock mounting hardware and trim. Installation instructions are available on the product page.
Keep it clear with Shine Werks or mild soapy water and a microfiber towel, and avoid ammonia, alcohol and solvent based cleaners. Our Flare® Care guide covers the details.
Round Out Your Stratoliner
Once the wind is handled, keep your navigation in sight. The iOmounts® Universal Magnetic Phone Mount mounts to most flat surfaces with adhesive or bolts, and the iOmounts® nomad™ Universal Phone Mount offers another flexible option. Both use a thin steel iOdisc™ on your phone, so it snaps on and off in one motion, and the same setup works on any Yamaha® you ride.
