You have the Roadster screen, but one that is for a standard Bonneville. They have to relocate their signals, we don't. From your first post, the screen is already installed, right? So, I guess the brackets fit correctly. Where did you get the screen? Quote:
The signal lights are in the usual stock position on the handlebars.
The instructions read, "Relocate the front indicators using the extension brackets provided in the kit."
Considering the view from the front, the edge of the screen on both sides, partially obstructs the signal lights. I'm wondering if that's the issue.
As I said there is no info other than the above instructions.

I'm six feet tall as well , and I got the Alley Cat from Eddie . Perfect . 16" is too short . Go with the 18" , 20" just looks too obtrusive IMHO .
I can't find any Memphis Shades screens on that site. Am I looking at the correct URL?

From his information page on the site:
"My Source for Saddlemen, Kuryakyn, Memphis Shades and Sipstreamer products has been temporarily discontinued. I am working on alternate sources for those and a few other products so you may notice a few items missing. Thank you to those who have been understanding of this bump in the road for me. If it is on my page, I still have some in stock."

I'd rather throw my money towards Fast Eddy, but if he is out of stock I had good service and availability from CruiserCustomizing.com (and prices)

Has anyone here used the Maier screens? They're inexpensive and somewhat smaller than those being discussed in this thread. My bike doesn't have the light bar, and I like the look of a smaller screen. Don't know much about their quality/performance though.
I have the Maier Screen which I got from JC Whitney. Easy installation and can be removed in 30 seconds if desired. It is unobtrusive and good looking in my opinion on my 07 Speedmaster. However I am looking into getting some lowers to help out with the buffetting at higher speeds.
