Hello all! I have a 2014 CVO RK and was curious if any have tried the Billboard Flare windscreen from Klock Werks. (Or similar)

I like the stock windshield, but was curious for long trips if the bigger windscreen is worth the expense / trouble. If the wind was dampened significantly or not, I would like to know.

Thanks for your feedback.

I replaced my stock windsplitter with a 20 inch LRS tinted shield and the wind protection and reduction in noise was tremendous. I did not even keep the windsplitter, I sold it on EBay. I know other folks on here have went with the Klockwerks and love it also.

I replaced mine with HD part #57994-94 which was the standard height 20" windshield for the former  regular Road King (up to 2012). If you go that route, make sure you do not order the current assembly for the regular Road King 2013 and later. It is shorter than that (17 or 18")
The 20" works great for me up to 100 mph (on a closed circuit of course...)
Looks great too...

Also, If you decide to go with an aftermarket plastic like klockwerks or LRS you will need the hardware for a regular stock road king windshield. The hardware that the windsplitter is on has a totally different shape.

So with different mounting hardware can my stock mount stay on or does it have to be removed? I wanted to be able to quickly switch just for long trips.
Thanks!

The stock mounting points (The rubber grommets) on the sides of the forks are fine. The regular road king hardware and the windsplitter hardware both fit on the same mounting points.

just got thru replacing mine, the factory 13 shield then ordered a
Klock werks but it does not work with the factory mounts and you can't find the hardware to mount the windshield to, so I sent mine back,
bought the factory Road King windshield from the dealer, about $300 and then ordered the Freedom Shield to replace the clear shield on the factory order and it was still cheaper than trying to find hardware for the Klock werks!
can't believe they are selling the shield and there is no easy or cheap way to use?

Thanks guys...that's disappointing Bromebe...I like the Klockwerks windshield. Hopefully someone has a solution.
How about sizing? I read somewhere to size about even with your nose but I'm just looking for best (I realize that is a matter of opinion...but I'm interested in yours) long road trip type of shield. I'm 5'11" ish 
How have you sized all of yours for that type of riding?

Thanks again!

Morning LAZZ,
at 6'-3" the factory 17" was way to low,
getting the new HD Road King full assembly kit which came with a 22" really kept the wind out of my face and above
so the Freedom Shield I bought that looks pretty much just like the factory shield without the vent
is a 20" Tinted, that should solve both the height and the choice to keep the bike looking factory

Should be able to get the bike out a little later this week and take pictures of all shield changes!
bottle line it really is only costing me about $450 to do this crazy change, height is an advantage most of the time

[NMLazz]

Hey Bomebe, do you have any pictures of the bike with the Freedom shield on it? I was able to locate the brackets for $75. I orignally thought I wanted the Klock Werks but after seeing all the positve posts about Freedom shields, I may be leaning that way.

If anyone else has a RK with the Freedom shield and can share a picture, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Darn that is what I get for selling my stock 2013 FLHRSE5 windshield. I wish I still had the stock brackets now.
