As far as the "butt-uglyness" goes, I took the black rubber trim off of my
Triumph touring screen and it made a big difference. It doesn't call as
much attention to the tall screen. Much like black rimmed glasses call
attention to eyeglasses - but of course maybe the butt-ugly touring screen
will come back into style soon too.

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
