Klock Werks Flare Windshield Review

Bought this pretty much upon release, mostly because I wanted a tinted screen and didn’t want to fuss with paint or ppf.

Quick review is, man does this thing move the air. I’m a tall bloke, and didn’t feel bothered by how air came over the R18B’s stock screen. I guess I have a high tolerance, because once I swapped, it’s night and day with how the Klock Werks screen channels so much air out of my rider bubble. I’m really pretty amazed at the difference. There’s nearly no air coming at me, maybe just the top of my helmet. I’m 6’5”, so most of you guys will be in totally clean air with this. I’m worried now how I’m going to channel air into my helmet vents on warm days!

Today is windy here, and the usual air noise and turbulence that I’m used to just wasn’t there. I only got to about 60mph, but I’d expect it keeps doing its job across the speedo.

Overall, best looking alternate option out there. Works great to channel air away. Not even really a crazy price tag.

Curious to hear anyone else’s experience with it.

I agree with your assessment. I am only 5'7" and the flare gives me a nice little pocket of air. Added bonus is that I can hear the radio better and do not have to turn up the volume when I get on the highway.

Yeah, I installed mine and tested it out yesterday and love it. Don't know why they waited so long. Also don’t mind the bugs from the nasty nighttime ride!!

I just ordered the tint color, I’m not a fan of solid black windshields for the most part. I tried one of those clip-on deflectors. I don’t dig the look, and depending on where I set it, I’m either looking through it, which I hate, or the edge of the deflector is at eye level, which is annoying. I like the stock screen's look, so I hope this doesn't kill the vibe. I can’t realy get a good take on what it will look like in person from the pictures I’ve seen.

I’m 6’2” and the thing feels like stock from behind and far from being in your visual path or edge at eye level. Does better deflecting than my OEM TC windshield.
