Klock Werks Radiator Shield

Klock Werks Radiator Shields: Fit, Function, and Style for Your Cooling System

Klock Werks has been engineering purposeful motorcycle accessories since 1997, and their approach to radiator shields is no different. Born from the same South Dakota workshop that produced the patented Flare® Windshield and the legendary World's Fastest Bagger, every Klock Werks radiator guard reflects the brand's core philosophy: Fit, Function, and Style.

Why Your Radiator Needs Protection

A motorcycle's radiator or oil cooler sits squarely in the line of fire on any open road. Rocks, gravel, and road debris kicked up at highway speeds can puncture delicate cooling fins and high-pressure fluid passages, turning a minor road hazard into a serious mechanical failure. Klock Werks radiator shields are engineered specifically to intercept that debris before it reaches your cooling system, without restricting the airflow your engine depends on.

Precision-Cut Mesh Construction

Klock Werks applies their metal-mesh expertise to create guards that go beyond basic protection. Their flagship Outrider Rad Guard, designed for the Indian Scout, features a laser-cut honeycomb aluminum mesh screen that deflects road debris while delivering a custom, aggressive look. The precision honeycomb pattern is designed to maintain adequate airflow to the radiator, addressing the common concern that a guard will cause an engine to run hot. Each guard comes made in the USA and ships with installation instructions and mounting adhesive included, making fitment straightforward even for home mechanics.

Model-Specific Fitment for Popular Platforms

Klock Werks takes a vehicle-specific approach to radiator shields, offering guards and mid-frame deflectors tailored to platforms such as the Indian Scout and Honda Gold Wing. Rather than relying on universal fit solutions, each shield is engineered to the exact dimensions of the target motorcycle, ensuring a clean, factory-quality appearance once installed. Finish options — including black and natural aluminum — allow riders to match the guard to their bike's existing aesthetic.

A Brand Built on Real-World Performance

Klock Werks isn't a parts company that simply designs from a catalog. The brand rose to national prominence after winning the 2006 Discovery Channel Biker Build-Off and went on to set land-speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats — proving that their products are shaped by genuine performance demands. That same engineering discipline carries into every radiator shield they produce. When Klock Werks says a guard provides protection without compromising cooling, it's a claim tested in real riding conditions, not just on paper.

Whether you're logging highway miles on an Indian Scout or clocking long touring days on a Gold Wing, a Klock Werks radiator shield is a smart, lasting upgrade that protects the heart of your machine while keeping your build looking sharp.
