$400 for the Triumph Road screen is obscene!
Whatelse do folks use? Memphis Shades?

For the same look as the roadster screen, the memphis shades fats/slim and national cycle dakota seem to be popular. for a less traditional look there are high end screens from windvest and givi and less expensive alternatives from slipstreamer.

I personally have a slipstreamer ss10 and am looking at a move up to a memphis fats for long trips.

the fats has 2 allen bolts each side that come off in under a minute. the brackets stay on the forks.

i think i paid 220.00 or there abouts for the mfats 21 inch. the lowers are about 80.00 or so.

I have the Memphis Shades Slim and it's a great setup. You can't go wrong with either the slim or fat. It's the same mount for both. Comes right off with 4 allen screws.

I see Cat has been doing quite a bit of tweaking to get the angle just right.

I have a MS Fats. I'm 6'2" and went for the 17" screen. I wish I'd gone for the 19".

I've added a Laminar Lip and lowers and now have little or no buffetting and can comfortably see over the top of the screen.

Best wishes

Sid

I just got my Windvest last Friday and I am thrilled with it. Takes almost all the air off my chest and head. No buffeting. Adjustable, easily comes off and BEST OF ALL it looks good.
