Ice Cool ' Kolor Flares '

As seen at the Drag Specialties North American NVP at Madison , Wisconsin , in August , international demand this past summer for these ' Kolor Flare ' windshields from Mitchell , South Dakota based Klock Werks has been " insane ," according to Brian Klock . " It all kicked off with these shields being seen on some of the 2023 custom bikes at the various shows in Europe this year - including at Harley ' s 120th Anniversary celebrations at Budapest in Hungary .
" The pictures have been seen in magazines around the world and they have definitely caught the imagination of professional and home customizers alike ." A simple and relatively inexpensive , fully reversible , modification-free bolton item that punches above its weight in transformational terms , they are available in a range of ' Ice Cool ' colors , including orange , red , blue , yellow and green . They are available in a choice of heights - 3 ", 4 ", 6.5 ", 8 " and 9 " - for a selection of FLR and FLTR fitments from 2015 and up .

" The innovative design features ' hips ' at the outer edge of the shield that reroute wind and air to add downforce to the front of the bike , improving stability at high speeds compared to riding with a stock windshield ," says Brian .
" The ' flip ' at the top of the Flare is designed to kick the air up causing it to flow back as ' clean ', less turbulent air for the rider and passenger . Ice Flares have a vibrant fluorescent edge to give the motorcycle a little extra pop ." www . dragspecialties . com www . getklocked . com
