Klock Werks Flare Windshield: Fixed-Fairing Aerodynamics for 1998–2013 Road Glides

Redefine your long-haul comfort with the Klock Werks Flare Windshield, specifically engineered for 1998–2013 Harley-Davidson Road Glide (FLTR) models. The “Sharknose” fairing is beloved for its frame-mounted stability, but the factory glass often leaves riders battling turbulent air. The Flare is a performance-driven solution born on the Bonneville Salt Flats, designed to transform the air pocket of your Harley-Davidson Touring machine. Its unique, wind-tunnel-tested shape creates a smoother ride, allowing you to focus on the road instead of fighting wind resistance.

Patented Aero Technology: The “Hips” and “Flip”

The Klock Werks Flare is world-renowned for its innovative geometry. The “hips” on the sides of the shield act as miniature spoilers, catching air and pushing it outward while creating downforce on the front end of the motorcycle. This improves chassis stability, making the Road Glide feel even more planted when passing large vehicles or navigating heavy crosswinds. The “flip” at the top edge kicks the air up and over the rider, allowing it settle as “clean,” non-turbulent air. This effectively eliminates the annoying helmet buffeting and wind noise that can lead to rider fatigue.

Premium FMR Hard-Coated Polycarbonate

Durability is a non-negotiable standard for aftermarket Harley parts. The Flare is manufactured from high-grade Lexan® polycarbonate with a proprietary FMR hard coating. This material is significantly tougher than standard acrylic, offering superior impact resistance against road debris and gravel. The hard coating ensures the shield remains scratch-resistant and maintains its crystal-clear optical quality through years of Harley-Davidson maintenance and exposure to the elements. Whether you choose the Dark Smoke, Tint, or Clear finish, you are investing in a component built for the long haul.

Perfect Fit for the Classic Sharknose Fairing

This Flare model is precision-molded to fit the specific contours of the 1998–2013 Road Glide fairing. It maintains a sleek, low profile while providing more protection than shields twice its size. Confirmed fitment includes:

• Road Glide: FLTR (1998–2002).
• Road Glide Custom: FLTRX (2010–2013).
• Road Glide Ultra: FLTRU (2011–2013).
• CVO Road Glide: FLTRSE / FLTRXSE (2000–2013).

Improved Audio Performance and Cockpit Calm

By creating a calmer “air envelope” around the dashboard, the Klock Werks Flare allows you to get the most out of your V-Twin performance audio system. You can hear your music more clearly at highway speeds without needing to push your speakers to their limit. This Stage 1 styling upgrade also improves the environment for your gauges and GPS units, keeping them in a more stable air pocket. Available in various heights (including the popular 8″, 12″, and 14″ versions), there is a Flare tailored to every rider’s height and torso position.

Quick and Easy Bolt-On Installation

The Flare is a true bolt-on replacement. It utilizes your factory mounting points and hardware, allowing you to upgrade your fairing in minutes. For best results, ensure your Harley-Davidson service manual is consulted for well-nut installation, as these rubber fasteners are critical for a vibration-free mount. To maintain the FMR hard coating, clean the shield using a soft microfiber cloth and a mild soap or dedicated windshield cleaner; never use ammonia-based products.
