I've just put a screen onto my TBA that came off a Honda Shadow 750. The mountings worked out fine.
I like the look of it and only wanted a small screen for the Ausie summer to keep the flies off. I'm 6ft tall and no buffeting.
What do you guys think??

I prefer my big roadster screen (I'm only 5'8... buffeting happens up above me somewhere) but yeah, that actually looks like a pretty good competitor for the genuine "summer screen".

Photos as requested;
The only thing that I had to do was to drill out the front mounting bolt hole (it holds the fork cover in place) on the lower tripple tree. I had to take off the mudguard to get my drill in there. Top mounting fits where the cable holder bolts go. You can see the 10mm of spacers that I had to fit on the bottom mounts. I could have bent the top bracket but I didn't want to lower the screen.
Cheers Terry

We're short of water in Australia and I'm a greeny. Well more brown, yellow and green with all the fly crap.

Not a fan of screens, but I've seen worse. Nice job. Not too big.

It is a genuine Hondaline screen from a 2000 model 750 Shadow ACE. You would have to check with a Honda dealer. I've looked at the Honda sites but the screens for the newer bikes have different mounting brackets.
Hope that helps
Terry

That baby actually looks like it was made for the Triumph there, Terry!

Nice, very nice! I like it!


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I'm trying to fit the National Cycle PlexiStar that's currently on my Beemer. Preliminary eyeball tests indicate that it will work, but I may need to relocate the turn signal lights.
