Anyone got the new 9 inch Klockwerks windscreen yet? I have the 14 inch sport flare. It's functional but wasn't feeling the look from the front. Too Ultra like. The side view was ok. If you have the 9 inch could you post pics please.
I had the 9" kw, nice improvement wind wise over the stock shield. Could hear the radio and exhaust better but couldn't get past the look so I sold it on eBay for a good price. Used that money and purchased a 10" Wind Vest.
Got it, looks great and worked for me, but OL hates it. She gets all the wind now and can't hear tunes. So it's For Sale Now!!!! And I don't mean the OL. LOL
Happy wife, Happy Life!!!!
I'll say that the KW shield looks cool, but if it's not serving it's purpose, then maybe look at the Wind Vest or Freedom Shields.
I put a 10" Freedom Shields on my '15, HUGE improvement over stock. The faster you go, the better it works. I would guess it eliminated 85%-90% of the wind blast to my face. They don't look as cool as the KW, but in my case, I want functionality over form. I also put a stock seat from a 2015 Ultra Classic Low on my bike. Lowers you down, and is way more comfortable than the stock RG seat.
Didn't ride that one I was sitting on. It was a used one and was checking out the windshield for size. I would imagine anything bigger than stock would help hear the radio better.
I bought the 9'' I find it works better with the vents open if that makes any sense. I like the look and the amount of air on your face is not bothersome. I might get the 14'' for winter but even on long rides the 9'' worked good for me. FYI its almost the exact same height as the stock screen.
I went from the stock to the 14" sport flare, the difference is amazing, I can actually hear my music at highway speeds, im 5'10" 32" inseam on stock seat
did the opposite went with the 9" windvest worked better than stock looked ok - just installed the 9" KW I'm 5'5" lowered seat 1" lowered in front - have to test if dont like will sell
I just added the 14" KW this week. Huge difference on the highway. Noticeable increase in stability when passing semi's. Much calmer airspace behind the fairing. Can hear the radio better, etc. I did have to work with the 11" apes a bit to keep them from bumping into the shield at full lock but, overall it's working great. BTW - I'm 5'8" tall.
I like the look of the KW it fits and suits the look of the bike much better....performance comparison to the WV @ 80-90+ all vents open.. pretty close and at speeds I'm not listening to my radio anyway but can hear tunes ok while wearing 3/4 bobber style helmet...
