So over the past week I've tried two different Klock Werks screens on my bike. For reference, I'm 6'1, 33-34" inseam, and I'm using a Predator 3 extended reach seat which puts me back 1.5" over stock.







First I ordered the 14" Sport Flare screen on Amazon prime, got it 2 days later and installed it. I took it for a short spin, cruising at speeds of up to 80mph, and immediately noticed that almost no wind was hitting my face. I could hear the radio perfectly, and I could easily see the road while riding (first time sitting on the bike I thought it was too tall, as I was looking at items in my garage which were less than 25 ft in front of me).




Only drawback? I thought it ruined the lines of the bike from some angles... Other than that, literally perfect...



Here's the 14" screen:

















But, because I'm kind of an idiot, I wanted something that looked better and fit the lines of the bike a bit better. I spoke with the seller and exchanged that screen for a 9" version of their sport flare.



Same perfect fitment, and it feels like it's half as tall.



My review of this screen:



It's 20x better than stock. It's obviously not as good as the 14" screen in terms of wind protection, but the wind that's hitting me definitely feels "cleaner" and I have no wind buffeting/turbulent air pulling my helmet or face around (when not wearing a helmet) like I did with the stock screen. I can hear my radio quite easily, although obviously not as well as the 14" again.



I'm keeping the 9" screen because I think it looks a lot better, and I think the screen was worth every penny ($240 or so).

 

Do you have a pic of the 9" looking through it like you did for the 14"?

 

Here you go!

Same thing, I got in my comfortable riding position, lined it up my camera to match my eye's viewpoint, and snapped the pic.

 

Thanks. I just bought a 2011 RG (with a 2015+ fairing), which I expect to receive in a couple of weeks, but it does not have a windshield (has the Dirty Bird Speedster) so I think I will need to get a windshield - already bought the upper air duct and gasket I will need. I agree with you in that the 9" will probably be best since looks matter just as much as comfort! Did you consider any others? I started to look around but none are jumping out at me yet.

 

I had a Klock Werks on my 05 Ultra Classic and wasn't impressed. Traded the 05 for a 14 Ultra Limited and will be going with a Freedom Shield. They look like they will throw the air away from myself and the wife better than most of the other shields.

KW has a test ride program, check with a a local participating dealer, try them and decide.

Had one on my 05 FLHTI and it was the worst thing ever. Clearview has been my favorite.

Glad you found one that works for you!

 

I had considered the Memphis Shades options, but I liked the look of the Klock Werks a lot more. Apparently, and I don't know if they have any science to back this up, the design of the Klock Werks apparently also creates downforce on the front of the bike which should help with handling and stability as well. I'm a sucker for stuff like that so, so that also helped me make my decision to try them first.

If you don't mind me asking, what didn't you guys like about yours? I see you both have 05 bikes, was it a fitment or design thing for those bikes/fairings?

 

Well it was back in '08. But I remember it pushed all of the air right to my head creating a lot of turbulence. It did look cool, though!

 

I have one on my Ultra and really like it.....
