Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Another windscreen discussion (UK)

I have a new BA (600 Miles) I love the bike, but had the dealer install the roadster windscreen. I have never had a screen before and had hoped it would improve my comfort. As you may have guessed, it has done the opposite. Anything over 60mph and my head gets tossed around like a rag doll. I just can't believe there is not anyway to adjust the screen. I amin "negotiations" with Triumph to give me a refund. I'll let you know how that goes!

Does anybody have any suggestions for options here in the UK????

I've got wind screen and no problems with speed 60+ sometimes wind is messing a bit but no other problems and my travel speed is always 80-90 mp/h

The large size screen fitted too far forward (beyond the speedo) allows air to be sucked in behind it, to buffet just about where your head is. If you tuck in behind it things get better, but you still get battered by the air coming up from underneath (at speed place your arm across your chest or install a tank bag, the buffet is decreased).
A popular fix is to install lowers on the fork legs to decrease the amount of air coming from underneath.
I would recommend something a bit smaller such as a Givi A600 universal. The smaller screen allows for greater adjustment (especially since the Roadster has none).
Hang around, I'm sure others will give you their opinions, since we all have one.
And welcome to the neighborhood.

Hey Grzegorz,

Just out of couriosity, how tall are you????

if you don't succeed in getting the refund from triumph, the memphis shades lowers would be worth a try. Also, Clearview (admittedly in the US) makes a larger replacement screen for the roadster hardware.

Zeek - I fitted a Givi (photos in my gallery), and had the same problems. I'm 6'2" tall. This photo might be a clue to why Greg doesn't have the same problem (I'm the one bending down, 2nd from left, Greg is extreme right):

Ahhhh Vertically challanged! Me too, 5'8"!!

One of the first things I did when I bought my America was add a screen. I had a hard time finding one that fits. I went with the Slip Streamer Falcon. The only problem is that the speedometer is in the way of one nut and bolt.
