OK lads and lassies, I think I may have found an answer that will allow you to use the Memphis Shades products for your 07+ machines with the tappered tubes. Maybe I will regret posting this, but I have to see if Memphis Shades will work with me on it on a large scale. But I definatly found at least one componant to the problem and (thanks to Zmillin) I will try it our tomorrow because I have a set of tappered tubes from Z. If I am correct I will have the anwer you have been waiting for. I jsut need to put teh tappered shroud on my bike and put my Ally Cat on it, if it works...we are good for go! Keep your fingers crossed that this will work and Memphis Shades will work with me. It is NOT an oddball modification but using the correct tools for the job! eddy

Crap...I got excited for nothing for an easy fix. Going to plan B but it is something that will work once I find some sources. Sorry, I thought I was on the brink of success.

Do you think that might be their new, quick-release mount system? From a brief glance at their website a few weeks back, it appeared the quick-release only had applications for HD's.

Nah, it the size of the clamps is the trouble. They don't make an in between clamp that is required to complete the mount. Any bike with tappered forks has a propriatary mount specifically for that bike. We a re a little fish in a big pond and the bigger fish get the right stuff.
Working on a fix though. Going to do it right.

Gentlemen, this is a bit off topic, but I need some assistance. I just purchased an '07 America after a six year hiatus from riding. I absolutely love the bike but am disappointed in the lack of aftermarket windscreens, which I believe you empathize with as you're trying to fit screens that are made for other models onto your bikes. Here's my question: Does anybody make a full or "summer" screen, with mounts, for the '07 America, other than Triumph? Thanks for the help!

Matt, To my knowledge, the answer is no. I have an '07 America also and have elected to go the route of using a Clearview screen with the Triumph Roadster mount. See the screen here: http://www.clearviewshields.com/shop/product.php?id=59I'm waiting on the screen now. After talking with John at Clearview, he is only to going to drill the four mounting holes instead of the normal nine so there won't be extra holes to fill up. Lee

The mounting hardware for the roadster screen and the summer screen are the same, available from you dealer for 79 dollars. I would suggest getting that and then getting a Clearview replacement screen, the summer screen is taller than stock and comes tinted if you prefer. You will spend less with that than for the complete Triumph kit.

Dart recently came out with a flyscreen for the 07 TBA and SM. You can find them: Brent's websiteI have one in the box waiting, eagerly, to be installed on my next 07 TBA. Some others have them and they like them. But it is a flyscreen, not a windshield. It looks like it fits in nicely with the lines of the bike. The "cool factor", to me anyway, is that Dart is a British company. And it's cheaper than the OEM.
Blue/White 2007 TBA, Thruxton needles, Unifilter, AI removed, Polaris Bellmouth, Bubs, Nology Coils/wires, Lightbar, Ricor Intiminators, Hagon Nitros, Tall Sissy Bar w/luggage rack, Dart flyscreen & Lowers. 130 Mains, TrueGel Battery MG12-BS.

Be carefull here...I just recieved my 18" Clearview screen with 4 mounting holes drilled in the right spots. The screen is a work of art...perfectly cut out and curved. Not a mark on it. Very pleased.
I got the various Roadster Screen parts from my dealer, but was given upper yoke brackets for a Summer Screen....which do not mount in the proper spot and put the upper bar mounts out 2" from where they should be, so the finishing washers don't seat properly and the screen is too straight up and down. I'm going to fabricate a couple brackets while my dealer finds me the proper fitting ones. Here's a photo of the Clearview not mounted quite properly. After a ride tonight, lowers will be a must.

Someone mounted one of the new Sportech shields on their bike. Handlebar mount, looks pretty trick and appears to be a good cross between a full and sport shield. Sportech Shields Related thread here: Old Windshield ThreadOn the other hand, buying a set of 06 or earlier shrounds for $140 and a Memphis Fats setup (about $250) is still cheaper than a factory Triumph shield that doesn't remove very easily.

Sportech looks good but back into the same camp of trying to figure out which one is most likely going to fit our bikes! (I can get these by the way...just don't know which one will work. Anyone finds out please let me know.

Someone in one of those old threads had one mounted, Grase or something? He had pix up, but they were lost. Quote:

Your screen looks great.
I just picked up the parts for mounting the Clearview screen at my dealer and discovered the upper fixing kit did not include the upper yoke brackets. They are now on order.
Do you have the part numbers for correct brackets?
Also, how long did Clearview take to make your screen? John estimated 4 to 6 weeks.

Hi Lee...that's what happened to me. Dealer got all the parts in.....then I received the Clearview Screen and when I went to install it...no upper yoke brackets. Dealer gave me a set of brackets for a Summer Screen which pushed the top arms out 2"s setting the screen straight up and down....no slope. Dealer is now ordering me the correct brackets....sorry....no part number as he just emailed me saying the order was placed. Today, I made some brackets out of 1/8" x 1" steel.....2" long with two holes about 1&1/4" apart. Worked like a charm and sloped the shield back nicely. Look at the rubber washers in the kit...each mounting spot takes a rubber bushing and a foam washer....creates a bit of a problem as there's excess rubber because we're not using those chrome strips which is a double thickness for the top holes. At first I left off the foam washer, but gaps appeared around the chrome finisher. Then I added a round star washer , I call them, under the chrome finisher and used the foam washer against the plastic. Better thickness now. Also, without the chrome strips, the small screws are a bit too long and won't tighten down very much...they bottom out. When the new brackets arrive, I may grind them down just a bit. The bottom two fasteners lined up and worked well with the two washers in place...just a bit of a problem with the long screws. There's a lot of curve to the upper part of the screen, making tweaking the upper arms a bit tricky...a second pair of hands here makes life a lot easier. I seem to be rambling on here....not as bad as it sounds. Took 5 weeks to get the Clearview. Making some custom lowers tomorrow as there's a lot of air coming up from below around the tank. Let us know how you get on with your Clearview install. Don

Thanks Dave....it's taken my Dealer awhile to get all the brackets sorted out. I think I'm the first one to go this route in my neck of the woods. Don

Don,
Thanks for the information. I've got another 3 weeks or so for the screen to arrive.
Making some temporary brackets sounds easy enough if the wrong brackets show up. My dealer isn't charging me for the upper brackets as he believes they were supposed to be included with the upper fixing kit.
This is all such a pain. Hopefully Fast Eddy will soon arrive at a bracket solution that will work with the Memphis Shade screens so that others won't have to deal with this. I was going to wait on Eddy, but had already ordered the Clearview before he got closer to a solution.

I think the wait will be worth it for you Lee. The clearview is an impressive shield when it's put on properly. And looks pretty classy without the chrome strips all over the front. Also, very easy to clean behind as you can get your hand/rag to all parts of it as well as items on the bike. Forgot to mention, you need to remove the upper wire loom and not replace it. Used a couple zip ties loosely placed to keep everything together. You'll like it. Don

Here is the story guys and gals. I just completed a test on Slipstreamer Classic SS-30 shield. I found a fit but it requires that you remove your upper fork shrouds. Before you freak on it, it really does not look bad. There is good news as well, I have also been talking with Memphis Shades and we have come up with a mounting kit to fit this same set up without the shrouds. This will afford you the the use of the Quick Disconnect Memphis Shades offers. I am waiting for my test kit to come so I can confirm fitment and performance for the Memphis Shades. Slipstreamers owner has been incredibly helpful in sending me screens to test and shoot pictures of. Could not have done it without his help. He actually gave me the idea to go this direction as it is the only option available in Slipstreamer of Memphis Shades for the 07+ bikes. I posted pictures on Sid's photo website so you can have a look at the mount and look of the Slipstreamer. So you sharpie's out there will notice right away that they didn't make and 07+ in Caspian Blue. What I did to accommodate the testing was remove my own fork shrouds. Which by the way has resulted in me eating bugs for a week while I was getting different screens delivered! Some sacrifices must be made. Another member here also came up with a novel approach and he used a Memphis Fats and mounted it right up to Triumph Hardware! Worked great and he loves it! Any question? I shoot them to me and I'll do my best to answer them. eddy Slipstreamer Pictures for 07+ option

Must have overlooked your post before. Thanks for the tip on not installing the wire loom. I would have done so. I'm still waiting on my screen...been over a month now.

Eddy,
Good luck on your screen conversion efforts. I would have waited on you, but needed a screen sooner so went with the Clearview. I'm still waiting on the screen so you may beat me too it.

Hi Lee....make sure you get those chrome upper fixing brackets....mine came the other day and made a good fit for the upper rods. They have a cutout that allows the wiring harness, etc, to tuck nicely out of the way. I also added some star washers for additional support as well as help cover the foam washers. Made some Lexan Lowers that I attached with Memphis Brackets and have all but eliminated wind buffeting. Don http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detail...=star%20washers

Detailed test results of my evaluation of the Slipstreamer SS-30 Classic screen. I removed the fork shrouds from my 03 America to duplicate and confirm fitment for the 07-08 bikes with the tapered fork shrouds for the Slipstreamer fork mount windscreens. I was surprised by the look and performance of the Slipstreamer SS-30 Classic screen. I was sent a 17" screen for my test and mounted it at it's highest location on the fork tubes, placing it exactly 18" above the headlight. At this location I look through a majority of the screen, but can also look over it (I am 5'6") I was surprised by the optics of this screen, clear and undistorted it was not as bad as I would have thought to look through it. At this height with this screen at the highest position possible (and can be lower), there is a 1" gap around the headlight. I do not get excessive wind coming through there. I did not notice any difference between this screen with the 1" gap and my Alley Cat with 1/2" gap. I do how ever have a visor on my headlight that may influence air flow in this area. Buffeting/turbulence. I was greatly surprised there was the same or less turbulence than what I get with my Alley Cat and Lowers. (No lowers were tested with this screen) I could easily wear my normal eyeglasses without excessive vibration and I experienced NO tearing. It was actually quieter behind the screen than with my Alley Cat, but keep in mind also, I look over the top of the Alley Cat on my bike, not through it and the SS-30 is wider which I contribute to the quieter ride. There remained upward airflow that comes up from under by the tank. This is the airflow that is disrupted with the use of lowers. Stability, and performance in high winds and high speeds was remarkable. I ran the bike up to 95 mph for one mile on a relatively calm day and the bike performed flawlessly as did the screen. It did not bend or flex. I also rode it on a very windy day and it performed admirably and was not moved around any more or less than on a windy day without a screen. I would say it even performed better than my beloved Alley Cat! Which I attribute to the extra width of the Classic, a notable difference that only 2.5" makes in width. Over all I am very pleased with the look and performance of this screen. Another big plus is that it WORKS with the Triumph light bar WITHOUT modifying the plastic. The look without the upper fork shrouds is not as bad as one would imagine and remains the only option for the 07+ bikes. This screen will work with any of the 02-06 bikes with their fork shrouds in place. I rode at night and looking through the screen, again surprised me that it was not as bad as I thought it would be. Now, there are other height options for these screens, I just tested the 17" screen at the 18" height, 17" I would be able to look over. This screen also comes in a 22" screen, which would also allow for 23" over the headlight for those who want to look completely through it or are tall and can look over that size screen. Again, no matter what screen you choose, the highest screen you can tolerate looking over or through diminishes the amount of buffeting/turbulence. Also, Lowers great reduces this too. eddy

Guess I'd have to see a picture of that, but the 1" gap doesn't sound aesthetically pleasing? Quote:

Here are some pictures. If it were me..I would put it down closer to the headlight...as Al pointed out, but I was attempting to make it as poor performing as possible by making it vulnerable to odd airflows so I could give a critical assessment of the screen. Here is what it looks like: Slipstreamer Photos Triumph America with NO upper fork shrouds
