How to Measure Klock Werks Sport Flare Windshield Road Glide

- In this video I will show you how to measure for a Klock Werks Sport Flare windshield on the 2015 Harley Davidson Road Glide. One of the toughest built windshields you will ever buy. The sport flare perfectly follows the contours of the Road Glide fairing and adds beneficial down force while directing most of the wind away from the rider and passenger. Dont forget to check out the Pro touring flare thats slightly bigger and provides even more protection. www.getklocked...

I'm 6'4 on a 2021 Roadglide special with 14" FACTORY 47 BARS and I'm running a 14 sport flare KLOCK WERKS . Love it. Perfect wind deflection . I recommend KLOCK WERKS to every bike owner.
Yes sir...worth every penny!
Best windshield hands down. I went for the 12” Pro Tour and wouldn’t change it for anything. Love it.
Hey Roger ....agreed man!! Best windshield on the market! I ended up with this 14 sport flare and love it
Roger Walsh, how y’all are you?
Thank you. Just picked up the 2015 road glide. Ready to switch this windshield out.
Youre very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Best video I have seen on how to measure for a windshield
thank you, sir..glad it helped you!
My measurement the same way you did yours was 13” so I went with the 15” pro touring. I run a mustang deluxe touring seat so it sits me up higher than the stock seat.
I put a 9" sport flare on yesterday and rode about 200 miles. I'd say that it does as advertised! Very nice and looks great. 22 Road Glide Special.
Yes sir tom...love both of my klockwerks windshieldswell worth the price just for the hardness of the plastic..been nailed a few times with rocks...and literally nothing! like new! Dont scratch up super easy either like the cheaper ones..thanks for checking it out!
So the 9" inch is just a little taller than the stock roadglide special? im 5ft 9, so im right on the edge of needing a taller screen?
Rain-x does have a product for plastic I use it on my helmet visor. But I usually use washless spray for my bike windshield and then use ceramic or ceramic hybrid
Look nice on the klockwerks shield
The Klock Werks windshield is the only way to go. HARLEY factory windshield is super crap. Looks way better than stock for sure. Keeper coming buddy
Hey man! yes the stocker is junk...pretty much on there for looks lol
I have a freedom 15” I’m looking at the 14” sport Klockwerks now...
Always great info on this channel! I need a new windshield and I'm wanting a Klockwerks.
You wont regret it...got them on both bikes and love them!
A new project??? YES!!! Looking forward to the Videos!! Hope your addressing the whole 👌height thing gets through to people. Just because one person is 6 foot tall does not mean there torso is the same !! Good job Steven!! Have a Great Holiday!!
Hey Scott! Thank you sir...yes its not about the height and I see it all the time in forums. Have a great Christmas!!
The Whiskey Project. Love it! Sounds like many of my weekends! Great video Steve. Glad to see you get rolling on the RG. Keep ‘em coming!
Hey Kevin!! Thanks man..hahha .yes sir...a few myself. I shot a lot of videos yesterday on advanblack parts....new stuff coming up for this channel thought too...still waiting on a few parts.
Great video! You mentioned 4 or 5 things you would change. What are the other 4?
i was waiting to :-)
Thanks 4 the video, I just purchased a 2020 roadglide special and my klockwerks 14" sports flare windshield comes in the mail today, this video was very helpful, thank u and God bless...I will keep u posted
Awesome man! I just got the 9" also yesterday...Im gonna swap it out for motovlogging so everyone doesnt have to look through my 14" from the helmet cam...Ill update on here about that too later when i get it
Curtis, how is the windshield working out? I just bought the same bike in river rock grey
Everyone has a different length torso, therefore 6’ vs 6’ can need a different height windshield. I’m 5’11” with a mustang deluxe touring seat and short legs I required the 15” windshield.
Just got a trike, but I need a new windshield thanks for the info
Thanks for checking it out..Youll love the klockwerks..little pricey but man they are worth it...they are tough as steel!
Appreciate your input Brother…spot on 2022 Rode Glide👍🏾👍🏾
glad the video helped!
As you were saying your position constantly changes an inch or two depending on how tired you are and so on. Imagine a windshield that was adjustable in height by the turn of a knob. If there already isn't one. Lol
Indian has that option on some of their touring bikes. Windshield moves up and down by push of a button.
Goldwings have an electric windshield
Thanks man Looking at one of these. Great info!
Great video! Thank you.
Beautiful windshield!
Agreed..Il ove the klock werks...have them on both bikes.
First thing I changed also
6-1/2" flare ...06 ultra classic
yes sir thats what i run on the street glide. Perfect!
Thanks Steve!
Thanks for checking it out Rodney!
Good stuff
thank you Steve!
Thanks for sharing, great video and info!
great information guys ,my wife and i both have road glides. hers is a 2020 with stock shield and my 2009 has a klocks werks..... she,s thinking about a wind vest. do u have an oppinion.ty
cool thanks
great video !
Thank you!
Thanks for your videos, they are great, but in this video you placed the bottom of the level between your nose and eyes to determine the height of your line of site. But in a 2017 video about windshield measurements you said place the straight edge/level just above your upper lip. For some folks that could be an inch to two inch difference. So which is the best place to place the straight edge/level at? Thanks.
The other video you are referring to is for the street glide. You measure different for the two windshields...these instructions were straight from Klock Werks website on both style windshields.
I was convinced by someone to buy one on Amazon and I totally regret it. Just the install is nearly impossible because they have giant slots instead of holes.
Great video. I watched a different video of you measuring on the street glide where you measured from your upper lip an in this one you measured from nose an eye sight. Is there a difference from the bat wing fairing an the road glide fairing? Again love the videos bro.
I do believe it because of the way the RG flare rolls back more and where you are seated. Instructions from Klockwerks were provided on both models. Im not sure exactly why but thats my theory.
@@sikbaggers ok thank you
Great video
Hey bud I know you have enough questions to answer already love the channel love the bike just wish I wasn't so far away from you guys Youngsville Louisiana 10 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico wanted to know in your air ride video I just installed the same bags you made a comment to putting an air gauge somewhere at some time was wondering where and where did you get the Gage from and install
Hey thanks man..and no worries...dont mind helping at all. I looked into getting air gauge and at the time could only find one manufacture of a push to connect air gauge so I could run it inline. BUT they only 1/4 inch and I used 5/32 air line. I never did get one and honestly now that its been a few years..Im kinda glad I didnt. I dont think I would have ever looked at it. Once you ride a few times you find the sweet spot. Its just becomes habit really. And being able to adjust on the fly makes it easy add some or let some out and you can feel the ride. I got a switch from AF Kustoms that mounts right above the horn so its not down on the firewall anymore...that makes it even easier.
@@sikbaggers your rt bud thanks for your time.
Good video thanks for sharing
Thank you Jim, Have a great Christmas!
Funny I use the rainX cleaner on all my bike's I think it works great
i do to...just sating what the company said...you can use rain x plastic ..I dont think it will hurt a bit
Awesome stuff
Thank you Rob!
So will I have issues with my 14” bars hitting this windshield when turning? Or is there one I should go with so my bars won’t hit the shield?
Dankeschöne and do you have any delivery Company in Germany where i could buy your GREAT Products? You have some Americans over here ( and Germans) and love your stuff! And secondly how tall are you for your Video comparision? Thanks for any answer :-)
What are the other things I should change. Is there another video?
Hey I just bought a flare for my Sport Glide. There is only 1 available an 8 inch flare...not sure why as not every rider is gonna be the same height...I'm 5ft 5 and the flare is not tall enough for me for good wind deflection. I'm disappointed to say the least.
Yeah that's weird man..some of the other companies have much taller ones for the sport glide. Maybe they will make more sizes soon...not sure.
Great video good to see you doing well steve hey quick question what do you think about D&D xcat exhaust what's your opinion thanks an hope you an your family have a merry Christmas steve
Hey Ben...thanks man! that D&D is nice..Its pretty throaty sounding. Never heard anything bad about the quality either. ...Have a great Christmas man
I would recommend a dealership that will let you ride with some samples. Measuring has never worked for me, and these windscreens can suck if you get it wrong, with lots of buffeting. The OEM windscreen on my 2021 roadglide sucks.
AGREED! if you can find one around you..I know the 5 shops around us dont have anything outside of the HD windscreens which sucks...And you are right...if you get one that is off it can be terrible...I jst tried to provide the best way to measure and hopefully take in accountability for riding position and slouching.
I'm 6' tall, riding a Road Glide Special with a San Diego Customs seat and my 12" Pro touring Flare is buffeting my helmet like I'm cornered in the ring.
Just traded in my '17 Road King for a '20 Road Glide Special.
I did the measurements just like you said and if my vertical measurement comes out to 14"
Is that the size or shorter that I'm ordering from Klock Werks?
I would go shorter if you are right on 14" ...you dont want to look through this style windshield.
@@sikbaggers
Thanks Steve 👍
Ok that windshield looks perfect, what size is that one u installed?
Hey Bat sorry I missed this comment..It is the 14" sport flare.
Have a 12” sport flare, I’m 5’8” and have horrible buffeting. The distortion is annoying too and vibrates to hell. Looking for another brand
Yeah its weird as these are literally designed to not have any buffeting but some people do experience it. I switched to a shorter one after this video...I slouch too much and was always behind it..needed to be over it.
Great video I’ve had a LRS on my 18 RGU and after 2 years it’s cracking out around the screw holes. Trying to decide between the KW sport or pro touring. With the sport do you get much wind on your torso?
Yeah I have one in the shop now that is a LRS and its cracking too...not a fan of them. And not at all with the sport..to me its a cleaner look and provides plenty of wind protection.
Well I just pulled a clockworks off a 2019 CVO Street Glide and it was cracked , I have used LRS for 4 years on my SGS and not a crack we have both had different experiences
@@talkingrock7011 Indeed sir...I dont think there is one on the market that wont crack under certain conditions. Ive just been blasted a few times and no cracks while my buddies LRS busted on the first rock.
I'm about 5'6 I have a 20 road glide which klock works sport would be about right for me thx
i think 9” , 14 will probably be a lil too tall
I’m 6.2, would you recommend the 14” sport flare? My dealership is telling me that most customers instantly regret the taller shield once they see it installed and he recommends I go with the 9”
My thought is, the 14” doesn’t look bad at all, I wanna hear my music and ride for hours without my beard beating the shit out of my face lol. Opinion?
the 14 is pretty tall compared to the 9..I purchased the 14 and hated it..way too tall and ended up with the 9. Love it.
Go with the 11" Sold out right now. But that's the best bet for ya. Im 6'3 and the 11 is where it's at
There is a RainX for PLASTIC, it is safe for windshields and helmet face shields.
Yes thank you...forgot to mention that as I was wanting to stress the importance of not using the glass kind lol thanks for checking it out!
Outstanding educational and informative video. Love my Klock Werks windshield!
But, it is never high enough in rain or when using a seat pad on long distance rides.
Never understood why Harley Davidson hasn’t figured out that Riders want:
Windshield that can be raised and lowered manually or electrically
Comfortable Seat (like a Mustang Touring Seat)
a 7th Gear
Proper sound system
Tire monitoring system
Be well my Friend.
man that would be awesome! My buddies BMW touring motorcycle does that...flip the switch and it goes up and down. That thing is like riding a transformer! lol
Steve, what size windshield did you end up installing?
This is the 14" sport flare.
So if you needed 10.5" how did you know to get a 14"?
Like I explained In the video the sport flare leans back towards the rider. Vertical height attached to the bike is 10.5...the actual length of the wind shield is 14. But if you lean that back..the height straight up and back to you is 10.5
@@sikbaggers what's your standing hight?
I'm just shy of 6ft and still can't decide on the 9 or 14 on my 2021 new baby 🤣
im 6 foot, went with the 14 and it was way to tall..got the 9 now and love it
How tall are you though
5"11...the height doesnt matter...Itsyour riding position...Measure just like this and youll get the right one.
SIK Baggers for only riding a road glide for only 20 minutes that would be hard to do so I better wait till I buy one and get use to my riding style
He doesn't charge like those bacon at L.A.B.
lol...nope
I was really hoping when I saw the title of this video that it would be the 9 inch sport flare. Kind of disappointed.
It's a how to measure for one...why are you disappointed that it's the 9 based on the title of the video? It could have been any of them..its a how to measure
If you are looking over a windshield the rain is hitting your face and the bugs are hitting your face. So what is the point of having the shield so low? The Harley mentality continues. It is always more about how it looks then what it does.
The windshield is designed for the edges to create down force and the flip up in the front redirects the wind up and over you. Have you ever seen a bug shield on a truck? It's the same principle. Ir has nothing to do with looks. It works.
Bull shit! This shields look awesome, but they are not optical correct! In other words, your view through the shield is warp! You been warned
Hey man...did you watch the video? I specifically said and so does the klockwerks listing that it is not designed to look through. That's why you look slightly over it ..the fin flip in the front redirects the air up and over you. I literally said that in the video.
Steven Housden that’s the problem and dissatisfaction to riders!! If you need to look over your windshield just to ride because your shield is warped, then don’t sell it to your customers!!!
@@alfonsothegreat4481 why....in the world would anyone want to look through it? You're on a damn motorcycle. Curves back, flipped up to push the air over you. You are literally getting the same coverage and you dont need to look through a piece of plastic. You're logic blows my mind.
