Re: [ST] ZG shields, was UK triumph accessories

[Neil Lindsey <Neil.Lindsey@xxxxxxx>]

Triumph offers an optional screen for the RS, called the Aero Screen.  I
tried one out briefly.  It looked good in the accessory catalogue (from
the front) and seemed to perform well for the brief period of time that
I tried it (reduced buffeting, and deflected air higher), but I did not
like the look from the rider's position  -- felt like I was looking into
a small cave -- too much empty space -- with the stocker you are really
only looking at the trailing edge
