Klock Werks Windshield
Was wondering if anyone has used a Klock Werks Flare W/S on their bagger. If so any problems likes or dislikes? This shield is supposed to work a lot better than the stock ones on the highway with the batwing fairing. Thanks for any info

Yup, I'm running one.
And as soon as my Clearview comes in...I'll be removing it!
The Klock shield greatly reduces the buffetting effect...
However...the wind noise coming off the sides is atrocious!
Granted, I'm not a tall guy and this may create part of my problem.
I'm 5'7" and running the 6.5" Klock.
My personal opinion...I coulda bought more chrome for the almost $200 I wasted on this shield.

I had one for my Ultra. It worked exactly as advertized, however, I am 2" too tall for it as my head was always in the wind. WHich made it extremely noisey for me. I sold it to a buddy who can barely look over a 10" windshield and he loved it. I can look over a 12" windshield easily. I did like the way the bike handled with it in high wind situations. It seemed to allow the bike to cut through the air a bit better without making me feel unstable.
I am now using a 15" cee bailey shield that I am very pleased with. It is about the same height as a 12" stock windshield. I also have a 13" which works very well when I am riding without a helmet. But, since I live in Washington, I wear a helmet all the time hence the 15" shield.
I did hear a rumor that Klockwerks is coming out with a 10" tall version this winter. . .
Good luck!

Does my Road Glide count as a bagger?
I liked the looks but not the protection of the KW. I like the protection of the CV and the thicker material it is made of.
Klockwerks I didn't like . . .
Clearview I do like . . .
