Default trying a new flare klockwerks shield.

got a 12 inch clear real reasonable, giving it a try and since most shields on my rgc have been dark or smoked i thought a clear might be nice for a change. got a 13 mako tha works great on the highway just want to try something else for a change.

i have a 8.5 inch klockwerks and i love it. some guys on here dont i think because they think its gonna eliminate all wind behind the shield. It creates a vacuum instead. My knit cap used to fly off with a plain old 7 inch windshield and with the klockwerks it stays on no problem so imo it works like its suppose to.

I bought the 6.5 for my street glide, didn't want the look of more than stock and even though its taller, it seems the same height due to the angle. Having said that, my sunglasses used to bounce up and down and sometimes feel like they hop off my face around 80mph. Klockwerks fixed that. To be perfectly honest, I installed a triple tree wind deflector at the same time but after poking my head up over the klockwerks intentionally, I really feel the improvement is the new windscreen.
