Klock Werks Flare Windshield: Performance Aerodynamics for 1996–2013 Harley Touring

Take command of the wind with the Klock Werks Flare Windshield, specifically engineered for 1996–2013 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, Street Glide, and Tri-Glide models. This period of the “Batwing” fairing is iconic, but factory windshields often struggle with air turbulence. The Flare isn’t just a screen; it’s a performance-driven tool born on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Its unique, wind-tunnel-tested design changes how air interacts with your Harley-Davidson Touring chassis, creating a smoother, more stable ride that allows you to stay in the saddle longer with less fatigue.

Patented Aero Design: Hips and Flip Technology

The Klock Werks Flare stands apart due to its patented innovative shape. The “hips” on the sides of the shield act like a spoiler, catching the wind and pushing it outward while creating downforce on the front of the bike. This added pressure improves chassis stability, especially when passing semi-trucks or riding in heavy crosswinds. The “flip” at the top edge of the windshield is designed to kick the air up and over the rider. This allows the air to settle as “clean,” non-turbulent air in the cockpit, significantly reducing helmet buffeting and wind noise.

Premium Materials for the Long Haul

Durability is a core requirement for any aftermarket Harley part, and Klock Werks delivers. Every Flare is manufactured from Lexan® polycarbonate with a proprietary FMR hard coating. This material is substantially stronger than standard acrylic, providing high-impact resistance against road debris and gravel. The hard coating also ensures the shield resists scratching and maintains its optical clarity over years of Harley-Davidson maintenance and cleaning. Whether you choose the Dark Smoke for an aggressive custom look or a lighter tint for night riding, the quality remains world-class.

Fitment for 1996–2013 Batwing Fairings

This specific Flare is tailored for the pre-Rushmore fairing design. It features the classic 3-hole mounting pattern found on:

• Street Glide: FLHX (2006–2013).
• Electra Glide Classic/Ultra: FLHTC, FLHTCU, FLHTK (1996–2013).
• Electra Glide Standard: FLHT (1996–2009).
• Tri-Glide Ultra: FLHTCUTG (2009–2013).

Enhanced Comfort and Audio Performance

One of the most immediate benefits of the Flare is the improvement to your onboard audio system. By creating a calm pocket of air, the shield allows you to hear your speakers more clearly at highway speeds without having to max out the volume. This Stage 1 styling upgrade also improves passenger comfort, as the redirected air creates a more stable environment for the person on the pillion seat. Available in various heights (typically 3.5″, 6.5″, 8.5″, and 11.5″), there is a Flare to suit every rider’s height and style preference.

Easy Installation and Care

Installation is a true bolt-on process. Because it uses your factory mounting holes and hardware, you can transform your bike’s profile in under five minutes. To maintain your Klock Werks Flare, we recommend using a mild soap or a dedicated motorcycle windshield cleaner. Avoid any cleaners containing ammonia or harsh chemicals, which can compromise the polycarbonate. During your regular Harley-Davidson service, ensure the fairing bolts are snug but not over-tightened to prevent stress on the fairing’s internal brass inserts.
