Klock Werks Flare Windshield For Harley Road Glide 1998-2013
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.

Klock Werks Flare Windshield For Harley Road Glide
The Flare motorcycle windshield, specifically developed by Klock Werks for enhanced front-end stability crucial during high-speed races on the Bonneville Salt Flats, stands as the pioneering windshield of its kind. Its remarkable performance and aesthetic appeal have positioned Klock Werks as a leader in air-management. The patented design includes unique “hips” at the edges, effectively rerouting wind away from the rider while boosting down-force on the motorcycle’s front, greatly enhancing wind deflection and front-end stability versus traditional windshields. Additionally, the Flare features a “flip” at the top which helps in reducing rider buffeting by elevating and smoothing the airflow. With its unique patented design and use of premium quality materials, the Klock Werks Flare windshield is unmatched in its category.
Features:
The 8” height offers an aggressive, sporty appearance and creates down-force to further enhance the stability of the Road Glide – feel the air without the buffeting!
The 12″ height combines the best of a tall and short shield by blending the aggressive, sporty look of the shorter 8″ with some of the added performance of the taller 14″ touring version – it’s low enough to see over, but high enough to make a real difference
The 14″ height may be one of the most versatile sizes in the line-up for those long haulers that want the wind protection but don’t want the look of having one of the tallest windshields out there
The 16″ height was designed for long-haul touring – it offers the largest pocket of protection from the wind for both rider and passenger while also adding some style, and is recommended for those who prefer looking through the windshield
Wind tunnel designed and tested, the “hips” provide added down-force while the “flip” directs air over the rider
Lexan Polycarbonate with FMR hard coating is used to create these custom-molded designs with unmatched durability
Pre-drilled for easy mounting using stock windshield hardware
The Flare windshields are measured from the center bolt hole to the start of the ‘flip’ at the top of the windshield
Made in the USA
Note: The black and chrome windshields are completely opaque – if you ride looking through your shield as opposed to over it, these will be unsuitable finish options for you.
