The smaller factory screens are excellent for the sport crowd. However, the Triumph Roadster seems to be aimed at touring, and it fails miserably. What's really needed in this segment is a windshield/lowers system. See my comments here:

Also the turn signals are moved on those pictures. I can possibly get a couple versions made with and without turn signal cutouts. If I understand you, none of the roadster style screens are any good without lowers?

Clay, just to clarify, the cutouts in the stock Roadster are for accessory running lights, not turn signals. Anyone who doesn't use the factory running lights has to put up with those big cutaways.

I think most windshields without lowers do a poor job of eliminating buffeting. The Roadster is particularly bad, due in part to its height (only 16" from the headlight cutout to the top). The need to eliminate buffeting and face wind depends a lot on how the rider uses the bike. A rider who wears a full-face helmet or who doesn't ride when the temps fall below 40°F might not care. For my part, nearly all my bikes have had fairings, and none has presented the problems I've had with the Roadster. Some mornings when I leave the house, the cold wind across my eyes causes tearing so bad I nearly have to pull over and stop. There's gotta be a better way to get this done. It's not rocket science.
