Anyone have the instructions for fitting the Triumph Roadster screen hardware? I've been searching all morning to no avail. I hate to ask for instructions, but would hate even more the screen flying off at 70 MPH...
Thanks!!

Do you have the Triumph mounting parts? It installs much the same way the Summer Screen. There's a lot of info here: CLICKY H.

OK let me jump in here. I have the summer screen on now and want the roadster screen, is the hardwear the same or not. It would be cheaper to just get the blade and use same hardwear if it is possible.

You can reuse most of the h/w between the screens. It's just the lower mounting brackets that are different.
Here's the part numbers for the lower roadster screen brackets:
A9733489 LH lower mounting bracket
A9733490 RH lower mounting bracket

you can not buy the chrome strips on the roadster screen from Triumph, keep that in mind
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Drew... sounds like you got the screen (that was quick) and managed to get it installed. Sorry I wasn't around to offer you some assistance but it sounds like everything's sorted out. Have you had a chance to road test it yet?

In the pic it looks like the strips are on it. But I would have to call them to make sure.

Keith,
No worries, on the end I enjoyed the challenge.
Just took it out for a test run , and unfortunately I too suffer from the "too tall buffeting syndrome". Not too bad at 35-45mph, but 50 to 70mh gets Down right scary.
I will give it a try again when/if Corbin ever gets my saddle back to me to see if lowering my butt an inch or so helps.
If not... I will pass it on here for the same deal.
Cheers,
Drew

Drew, don't get rid of that screen quite yet. If you add lowers the buffeting will be taken care of. I know what you mean by scary... adding a screen sets up a whole new set of wind dynamics which can rattle your eyes. Lowers really do work.
I have a lot of experience with the buffeting syndrome and the cure for it. I recommend buying the lower hardware from Eddy, then making up a set of lowers from plexiglass/lexan. Then you'll fall in love with the windshield!!
