Re: [ST] ST 2002 TINTED SCREEN

I just went from the touring screen to a zero gravity double bubble and it
looks great, and makes a huge difference in buffeting and wind blast is
about shoulder height.  Helmet is so much quieter now as well.

G'day folks, 

I have tried the original Triumph touring screen, did not like it.. Seems I
am too short or too tall, at 5'9" that's unlikely.  The wind buffeting hits
me right at my visor level - nearly impossible to ride with the visor open,
not good. If I squat down it's ok, if I stretch up it's ok, but at normal
riding position :(  I've put the original back on and the wind hits me a
chest height and that's not so bad.

Also, it makes no difference to my pillion which was the was the main reason
I tried the touring screen.

So - is there such a thing as a tinted original screen - I cant get my
orignal aftermarket tinted, per the tint supplier, it just wont take, due to
being plastic and the shape is a problem ?? Anyone tried it ??

Apart from the bad wind on the touring screen, I think it really changes the
look of the bike way too much - read butt ugly !! It looks much more like a
touring bike and I really like the more sporty look of the original screen.

I'll keep the touring screen and if I ever sell the 2002 ST maybe it will
suit the new owner.

Cheers guys..  Harry / Sydney,OZ -  where we have had a 4 day weekend and
the weather has been perfect for riding
