    Hi all - I think I'm about to order one of these, but just wondered if there are any real life experiences of it on a Street twin? Alternatively, is there anything better out there?

    I'm thinking that there'll be a noticeable difference between the Marlin and Classic at 50+ mph, but stand to be corrected.

    Well, I've fitted it...

    The eagle-eyed might spot that the brackets from the OEM flyscreen are still lurking behind it. I couldn't get to the mounting bolts, so I'm going to let Herts Triumph remove them when the bike goes in for its 500 mile service soon.

    I have the Triumph touring screen for my Street Twin. I am very happy with it as it blocks the wind on my torso. It also deflects the wind over my helmet as well as around my hands. I am 5'10". Works for me even at freeway speeds.

    Slightly larger than I wanted, and bloody expensive. Nice screen, though.

    True story. Hit one of these once at about 35 mph on my old bike. (Called a turkey vulture). Glad I had a large size screen !!

    I have one on my 2017 Street Twin and I'm really happy with it. Nicely made and easy to fit - very nice product.
