Flare Indian Scout "Air
Management" Kit
"Air Management Exports" Klock Werks has what
the company describes as a "Flare Air Management
Kit" for 2015 and up Indian Scout and 2016 and up
Scout Sixty models.
The OE replacement kit features a Flare windshield
and a set of Klock Werks new Flare Wings designed
to manage the air coming directly at the rider as well
as that coming up from underneath the windshield.
"Our love of the Indian Motorcycle brand made it an
easy choice for us to focus our design efforts on
creating a better riding experience for Scout
owners," said owner Brian Klock. "We continue to
use information we learned from setting more than
fifteen Land Speed Records at the
Bonneville Salt Flats to inform our
design decisions.
In setting more than fifteen land
speed records, Klock Werks uses
racing time as an opportunity to test
its designs and products, Klock is
proud to say that "what we use to race is exactly
what you get when you buy a Flare windshield".
The patented Flare windshield design uses the "flip"
- found at the top of the shield - to create an
improved pocket of air for the rider and passenger.
The "hips" - located on either side of the shield - add
stability by creating downforce.
The OE replacement Flare windshield measures
21.5" tall (from the top of the headlight cutout to
the top of the shield) and 21" wide.
The kit includes Flare Wings, which divert air out from
underneath the windshield "to help eliminate the
side buffeting and swirl experienced when riding a
stock setup. The design allows for up to 30 degrees
of adjustment so the rider can tailor the air to their
needs." Made from Polycarbonate and hard-coated
for additional abrasion resistance.
Four-Bank Chargers - "Keeping
batteries fresh and ready "
Co-branded by Drag Specialties, Moose,
Honda and Triumph, the OptiMate 3 is
described as TecMate's most trusted charger
in powersport.
"This charger has saved many thousands, if
not millions, of batteries over the years with
its unique save mode that brings a
sulphated battery back from as low as 2
volts and its unique 24-7 long-term
maintenance program that keeps that saved
battery ready to fire up the engine of the
powersport vehicle it is in."
This same charger is available as a dual
bank (OptiMate 3 x 2) and four-bank
(OptiMate 3 x 4), ideal for dealers and
workshops, and a fact that American Honda
has recognized by approving the OptiMate
3 x 4 for new battery preparation.
Ideal for 12V AGM, GEL and STD lead-acid
batteries, the seven-step program on the 3 x
4 can save dead flat 12V batteries from as
low as 2 volts or automatically bring a new
battery to full charge "within hours."
For high performance 12.8V/13.2V 4-series
Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP/LiFe)
batteries, the OptiMate Lithium 4s 0.8A x 4,
derived from the highly regarded OptiMate
Lithium 4s 0.8A, is globally recommended
by Yamaha and Kawasaki. "Each station's
nine-step program can save a flat battery
from as low as 0.5 volts or automatically
bring a new battery to full charge -
including batteries with a built-in sleep
mode that needs waking before receiving
44
charge.
"Preparing or servicing batteries could not
be easier with any of the OptiMate four-
bank fully automatic battery chargers," says
TecMate CEO Martin Human. "The
integrated wall mounts allow for perfect
positioning above the battery service area.
The rest is easy.
"Simply connect the batteries and each
charge bank's smart program does the rest
automatically, from activating a new
battery for service or saving a flat battery a
customer may have returned.
"Keeping new batteries fresh and ready for
sale is a snap. The OptiMate 24-7
maintenance program guarantees that each
new battery leaves the dealership fully
charged and healthy. With OptiMate four-

OptiMate Lithium
4s 0.8A four-bank
station chargers, it is truly as simple as
connect and forget, no more battery
problems.
"OptiMate also keeps cost in check for the
dealer. A lesser known fact is that all
OptiMate battery chargers, including the
four-bank models, can accept
universal/global power rated between
100Vac to 240Vac. This universal input
power conversion system is more efficient
and reduces power usage, i.e. OptiMate
uses less power than most to charge
batteries right.
"Lower cost to charge batteries, almost no
batteries coming back, and those dead flat
batteries that do are usually due to
customer error, and even those can be fixed
by OptiMate - now that's a win-win-win
formula for any dealer if there ever was
one," says Martin.
