My brother in law is ordering a KW Billboard Flare for his Road King in the next few days. He runs the fork deflectors on his bike. Soon I will be able to get his opinion on the shield with the fork deflectors.

I don't run mine with the fork deflectors but the KW shield did help reduce buffeting. I do run the deflector between the forks. There is some air coming up from the sides of the tank, doesn't seem to be as much as the stock shield. I would think the fork deflectors would eliminate most of it.

Cool. Would very much appreciate his opinion.

Most Harley dealers / KW distributors have these shields on display and will let you try them out before you buy them. That is what I did (then I bought it new on ebay for quite a bit less than they were asking).

The tall Billboard flare reduces buffeting well on my 2000 flhpi. Has more protection than a Memphis Shades batwing with a 12" shield. The Billboard kept more wind off my hands. If someone wants to try a MS let me know.
I'm interested to find out from someone with HD style batwing how it compares from a wind protection standpoint. Need to compare the same equivlient heights to one another. The Freedom shields windshield on a batwing should be the ultimate, unless the Billboard is just that good.

Wow! A friend has been bugging me for months to take a windshield off his hands for free. I finally told him ok. He brings me a tinted Klockwerks billboard flare still in the box with protective film still on the shield. Only problem, it was for a softail. The hardware from my stock RK shield fit it pertectly but I had to cut it so it would fit over my headlight. Looks awesome and can't wait to try it out tomorrow.
