The best way to choose a windshield is to ride with it. Klock Werks® makes that possible two ways: the Dealer Locator, which connects you with authorized shops that sell and install Klock Werks parts, and the Try It Before You Buy It demo program, which lets you test a Flare® windshield on your own motorcycle before you buy.
Utilizing the Klock Werks Dealer Locator
The Klock Werks Dealer Locator finds authorized retail, service and repair shops near you. Enter your city, zip code or address to see nearby dealers. Check the Demo Location box to show dealers that stock Flare® demo windshields in multiple sizes, then click a pin for contact info to book a demo ride. Not every dealer carries the full line, so call ahead.

The Demo Program: Experience the Flare® Firsthand
Why We Started Try It Before You Buy It
The Flare® was the first windshield of its kind, with a shape that went beyond the typical stock screen. Its patented hips add downforce to the front end, and its flipped top edge reduces the head bobbing caused by turbulent air. But no two riders are the same. Torso length, seat height, handlebar pullback and even helmet style change how air hits you. When the first Flare® went on sale in 2008, riders who picked by looks alone sometimes chose the wrong height, and an installed windshield can't be returned as new.
So we started letting riders try before they buy. At rallies and events, our team assessed each rider's bike, posture and height, recommended a windshield and sent them on a demo ride. As Brian Klock puts it, "2,000 people don't want pepperoni pizza." The goal is for riders to love their Flare® because it works for them the first time.
How a Demo Works
- Find a demo dealer on the Dealer Locator, or visit the Klock Werks booth at rallies like Sturgis and Daytona.
- Trained staff check your bike, riding position and line of sight.
- They mount a demo Flare® on your own bike.
- Ride it, swap heights if needed, and choose the one you can look over comfortably.
Demo Kits for the 2023.5 and Newer Street Glide and Road Glide
When Harley-Davidson® redesigned the Street Glide® and Road Glide® fairing for the 2023.5 CVO™ and 2024 models, our engineers in Mitchell, South Dakota designed new Flare® windshields and mounting blocks from scratch. Demo dealers now have kits for the new fairing, organized in labeled boxes with color coded stickers so staff can find the right blocks and heights fast.

- Road Glide Sport Flare®: 8, 10 and 11 inch
- Road Glide Pro-Touring Flare®: 12, 13.5 and 15 inch
