Anyone riding with a Klock Werks shield?

[seventwenty]

Im 6'1 with a 34" inseam. I just purchased a 14" KW and have only ridden about 10 mi with it. Still a little chilly in Iowa and the roads are still covered with sand. The wind just hit the top of my head.

I was riding with a KW that had been cut down to about 12" and was getting a lot of wind on my face. Even with the shorter version, I could still wear a ball cap at hiway speeds tho.

I would think that a 16" would work well for you. I also ran a 13" CBaileys for a couple of months that worked fine but I like the looks of the KW better. Watch the classifieds and Ebay, you should be able to find used for about half the cost of new.

How tall are you and do you look over the medium Clearview? Tint? Sport or Sport Tour? I'm pretty sure I am going to get a Clearview.

I'm five six but have a long torso. My Clearview is the sport tour which is the wider one. It goes from fifteen inches to fifteen and three quarters. I have it all the way up. Your posture on the bike makes a difference too. I like to sit up and back against the back rest. When I bought my last Clearview they had a couple of blemished at 40% off. I bought one and if they didn't have it marked I would have never seen it. Nobody in my group has been able to find it either. I would call and ask if they still have the other one.

I have the Klock werks shield and love it. Tinted color. For this bike the lines work for me and the recurve is a wonderful thing. Main reason I bought any other than the stock sheild was a trip down south and the bugs kept me blind. I amuse myself watching them commit hari Kari on the recurve edge.
Seriously I watched and checked out all the other recommendations and am happy with this shield. I am 5'11 34 inch inseam. I have had it on both the stock seat and presently my Mustang seat. Air flows across the top vents of my helmet maybe a little if I stick my elbows out. Rain and ice are not a problem however ice will stick in the recurve a little.Pricey ,maybe but not bad for what you get IMO...

My Klockworks was failing to do the job needed. Replaced it with a Mastad and now all it good. The KW is in the spare parts pile in case I need a nice curved piece of clear plastic for some reason. Not worth the trouble or expense to sale and ship.

Sport Tour Clearview with the re-curve is fantastic!
If you look over the top (as I do), you should have no problem ... no wind no buffeting and my passenger thinks it's great also.

Thanks Dave, that’s a great picture of your bike! I have the white also, but I really like the black fairing on yours. Looks great. Out of curiosity how tall are you and are you still riding the stock seat?

Six2go, I’ll definitely check out Clearview. I didn’t realize they had an F6B option. Thanks

The black bra on the front is the Honda 'Nose Mask'. WingStuff and others sell them for about $75. They're actually made for the standard Wing, and need a simple mod at the bottom to compensate for the slightly smaller lowers on the F6B.

I'm about 5'-11", but have a 30" inseam so I sit very high in the saddle. I kept the stock seat as it fits me fine.

BTW the Clearview was my first choice, partly because I live about an hour from them and I could have picked the shield up. At the time I was looking they told me there was a 3 week backlog, so I bought the Klock Werks, which arrived in about 2 days. I didn't want to ride with that Honda (non) shield any longer than necessary!

I have a 16" Klock, my problem is the cold air comes around behind my lower back & gets under my jacket. BUT, I also have those wind wings on my fairing & under my mirrors. Don't know which is causing the issue with the cold air whipping behind my low back & getting under my jacket. On cold days it bothers a decades old back injury.
Anybody else w/ a klock had the wind going up your back??

I bought a used KW last month. Shipping was only $13 USPS. Michigan to Iowa may have saved some as it was going to be more than that to have a set of saddle bags liners shipped from Fl.

I’m 5’6” with a 29” inseam. I have the 14” klock Works. Some days I think the 16” would have been a better choice. If / when I need to replace it I will go with the 16”.

5'11"....33 inseam. Works great for me. It blocks a lot for it's size.
