AMERICAN touring parts specialist Klock Werks originally designed its 'Flare' windshield for use on Harley Touring models, but has now introduced a version for Honda’s Gold Wing and F6B models.
In 2006 Klock Werks built a custom Touring Harley-Davidson for the Discovery Channel's Biker Build–Off Series, and took the finished bike to race on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
It was during those rides that the idea for a performance screen developed as Laura Klock, the rider of the bike on the Salt Flats, explains: "The faster I went, the more it felt like the front end of the bike was lifting up. We wanted to be able to change the shape to add downforce and make the bike more stable. We designed many shapes and wind tunnel tested prototypes until we achieved an optimum design for production as the company’s patented Flare windshield".
The Flare for Honda is made from .177in hard-coated polycarbonate material for lasting durability, and Klock Werks is confident that Gold Wing riders will appreciate how the Flare will improve comfort, as well as aid performance.
The Flare is available in Europe through Parts Europe and supplied ready to install on a Gold Wing or F6B, using the factory mounting hardware.
