Anybody used a Memphis Shades Roadmaster screen on a TBA? Naturally, the less-than-helpful receptionist when I called looked at their appplication chart and parroted the same thing their website says, i.e. no applications fit an America. I'm sure I've read here where some of you guys have used them though. What does it take to mount one on our bikes? I need some wind deflection in the winter!

Can't help you about the Roadmaster, but the Alley Cat works great.

Second on the alley cat. I have mine mounted an inch or so lower than normal (long story) and I am good to 95 MPH.

If you need one, try Fast Eddy. He posts around here all the time and can hook you up.

The Suzuki Maurader ones fit perfectly. The mounting brackets are just two simple clamps that secure on the stock fork tubes. They work great too. I don't know about the Roadster screen, but Jane has Memphis Fats and it is agreat shield, pops off in 10 seconds. Takes all of 10 minutes for the initial install.
Look in the tech vault under parts cross references, they are listed there with the part numbers and all.

Thanks guys. I'm really interested in the Roadmaster if I can work it, since I'm trying to keep the wind off my hands when the weather gets into the 40s and (yecch) 30s in the winter, and that's the only screen I find that's that wide. I'll look into the ones you recommended, though.
