Klock Werks: Born from Speed, Built for the Street

Klock Werks has been redefining the motorcycle aftermarket since 1997, operating out of Mitchell, South Dakota with a philosophy rooted in performance, American craftsmanship, and real-world testing. What started as a custom motorcycle shop grew into one of the most recognizable names in the touring and bagger community — and it all pivoted on a single, iconic invention.

The Origin of the Flare® Windshield

In 2006, founder Brian Klock and his team set out to break a land speed record on the Bonneville Salt Flats aboard their custom Road Glide® — a build they called the World's Fastest Bagger. The challenge they faced was the notorious high-speed wobble common to touring bikes. Through experimentation, the team theorized that air management at the front of the bike was the key to stability. That insight led to the creation of the patented Flare® Windshield — a windshield shaped with distinctive "hips" at the outer edges that redirect airflow to push the front wheel down, adding stability, and a signature flip at the top that channels air back over the rider as smooth, turbulence-free flow. The result wasn't just a racing fix — it was a revolution for everyday riders everywhere.

Today, the Flare® Windshield is available in multiple heights, tints, and styles to fit a wide range of motorcycles, including Harley-Davidson Road Glide®, Street Glide®, and Softail® models, as well as Indian® Chieftain®, Roadmaster®, Scout®, BMW®, Honda®, and Victory® platforms. Each windshield is molded from hard-coated polycarbonate and is pre-drilled for straightforward installation using stock hardware — and every one is proudly made in the USA.

Beyond the Windshield: A Full-Spectrum Motorcycle Accessories Brand

Klock Werks has expanded well beyond windshields to become a go-to source for motorcycle customization and protection. Their steel fenders give touring and custom bikes a clean, aggressive silhouette, available in a range of finishes to complement any build aesthetic. For riders who want to protect critical engine components on long highway hauls, Klock Werks offers oil cooler guards designed to deflect road debris — rocks, gravel, and grit — away from exposed cooling fins that could otherwise suffer catastrophic damage at highway speeds. Their radiator shields extend the same protection philosophy to platforms like the Indian Scout® and Honda Gold Wing®, keeping the heart of your engine safe without restricting airflow. Rounding out their hardware lineup, Klock Werks also produces precision-fit mounting brackets and small parts that let riders dial in their cockpit configuration with confidence.
