I think Buzz has one on one of his scoots, so maybe he'll have some feedback for you. But the way the thing looks installed, it looks more like a wind deflector than a windshield, doesn't appear to be all that tall, but maybe its just the way the photo was taken  |

I tried the 6 1/2 " Flare on my Ultra when I went to LaCrosse for the S&S open house last summer.I have the stock seat with a driver back rest,and I wear an open face helmet.The bike handled so much better I could not believe it.The problem I had was it caused my visor to rattle.I talked to Laura Klock about it and asked if they were making a taller one.At the time she said an 8" version was in the works.I see now they have a 10 1/2".This may be too tall to see over for me.Find the Klock Werks trailer at a rally and they'll put one on your bike so you can decide. |

Got one and liked the look. Works fine with calm winds but when the wind picked up it was fubar. They now have the 10.5" but it may be a little taller than I want. They way they measure the things is really screwy. Instead of just a measurement from the top of the trim to the top of the windshield, they measure the length of material. I spoke to a rep yesterday and he measured their 10.5 from the top of the middle screw hole and it was a little over 11". I took my stock shield and had it cut down to 10.5" and it's perfect. I may try one from CEE Baileys. Of course, they measure their's funky too..... |

I tried a 7" and it was too short. The best part is the price - had it shipped to my home for less than $75.

I'm thinking that may be the size I need. |

Mr. Big,
Sorry for the delay in the repsonse - I've been out of town a few days. I measured as you asked, the distance is just a bit over 9" right over the center fairing screw. I'm 6' even, riding on Harley's Sundowner seat, and the wind hits just above my forehead. If you think a 7" model in this windshield would work for you, I have one (just like brand new - no scratches) I'll cut you a deal on. Otherwise, check out Cee Bailey's Motorcycle Products - For BMW, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda, Harley Davidson, Triumph ... to look at their stuff. I'm a very satisified customer.
