Default KlockWerks Flare? What size?
The 6.5" looks cool but does it block enough wind for Mama? Should I get the 8.5" to be sure? I'm gonna buy one or the other and only wanna do it once. Anybody got either one can give some input? Thanks.

I like the 8.5". I don't ride with a passenger though, so I can't comment on mama's potential comfort.
