I've searched and found nothing on this size shield. Is it new? The Klockwerks site shows it being .5 inch shorter than the 14in SF and while I was settled on the 14, now the 11 is making me question it. The 14 doesn't look as great as the 9in but I was willing to settle on the 14 for comfort. So now I'm thinking that maybe the 11 would be a happy medium. How much difference can that 1/2'' make? Does anyone have any experience using the 14 vs 11?

I know this differs per rider. I'm 6ft, 32'' inseam, Danny Gray seat which brings me down 1''. Just looking for anyone's opinion if they've used the 11 as there is not much info on previous posts.

Not sure what type of bars you are running, but here is my experience. I love the 14” but can’t run it with 12” bars. I do use it because my fairing is dropped 2”. On my stock fairing with 12” bars I can run the 11” with out having any contact issues. The 11” is better than the 9” for wind and hearing the radio.

 

Good to know. Bar shouldn't be an issue as I'm running a thrashin setup.

 

Perfect timing. I just put this shield on my bike yesterday. I have 12 inch bars, no problem with them hitting. I have got to take the bike on the highway yet, so I don't know about wind management. My guess is that it should be just as good as my Memphis Shades 8.5 shield as it is slightly higher but not as wide.

 

Roger that. Let us know how it performs. (along with your height)

 

9 looks the best but you still get wind over the top.
The 14 on steep grades is hard to see over

 

Here are some pics of the 11" Sports Flare on my bike. Not many pics on the net.

 

That is one fine looking Sled and that KW shield looks killer .

 

Just for comparison to @Southpaw pic of the 11”, here is a 9” and a 14”.

 

Here is the 9" Sport Flare for comparison

 

@Southpaw , @flyjets
Is it just me, or am I starting to see a trend in this thread?

 

Definitely! And I will add that we have good taste!

 

I need to look into this. Bought a used 9 and it sits on the bench. 14 is perfect for sound block and better radio sound but that 11 looks ideal 🤦🏻‍♂️

 

I was thinking about getting a 9...but got to thinking that the 11 may be better since my fairing is dropped a little over 1.5".... decision, decisions.

 

Okay, rode 175 today with my HOG chapter. My thoughts on the 11 sports flare.
Wind protection: Good, no buffeting at 75. I did fell more wind on my shoulders than with my Memphis shades 8.5. For touring, the Memphis would likely be better. However, the sports flare could be a good summer shield.
Looks: It is growing on me. I really like to look of my Memphis shade shield though.
I am 5' 9" and sit on an Ultimate Seat. Here is a video of today's ride.

 

I ordered one up to try, I run a 9" in winter and 14" in the summer. I put the 11" on and rode a bit today and I think we have a winner here. Good balance of wind protection without looking huge like the 14". I'm fickle, so I'll probably keep all three and change them as my mood suits, or I might go ahead and sell the 14".
