If you are under 6' tall it should be fine for you. I got a Clearview replacement screen that is 2.5" taller and 2" wider and I love it, the Triumph Roadster was okay but after a while the buffeting was too much, the wind was hitting the top of my helmet and shaking my head around.

Yep, what Dave said, although I generally like mine. It definately lets more air hit your head, although I actually like that. But occasionally, in a crosswind, and with a helmet, it can be a little too much.

Cancel that order and I'll sell you one in mint shape for $150! They're not bad... I swapped my out for a Memphis Shade but the Roadster was okay. Woulda been better with lowers to help with the buffeting.

You can add another train wreck to my resume !!! I was out of town visiting the grandkids and when I got back the screen was here. I installed and now have a couple hundred miles on it. Real bummer when I came online and saw your post !!! Thanks for the offer and I'll check in before I make any other purchases !!!

Does anyone happen to know the dimensions of the Roadster screen? I'm trying to compare it to the Slipstreamer ss-30-17/22.

It could have been a bit higher. It's supposed to be the all-year round screen (as opposed to their summer screen). I like wearing open-faced helmets with peak and I'm only 5ft 7ins but the wind can be a bit heavy at times across the face. It's not adjustable either!
This IS the new quick release one for the 2011 model.
I give it 6 out of 10

So in your opinion is it worth the roughly $600?

for $600 bucks it should be scoring an 11 out of 10, not 6
