    Hello, I come from a small town called Tierp. I have just bought a Triumph Tiger 800 - 11. The little I have driven it so I can only say I love it. Absolutely wonderful to drive.
    I am considering buying a Madstads windshield. Original windshield making noise so much.

    See you
    Tierp

    Hi Tierp and welcome, re the wind noise coming off your Tiger screen I found the same on mine until I bought an MRA VT screen (seen here on my bike.) I particularly like the variable 'wing' so you can tune the wind flow to your height/ride position.

    Thanks Crispey,
    I'm thinking of a Madstads Adventure 20 ". I am 1.86 long as I need the larger windshield. I have not bought it yet, but will order it in the next few days. But I will wait to run it, we have it cold up here in the north.
    See you
    Tierp

    Hi Tier and welcome to the forum.

    I've got a Madstad screen on my Tiger 800XC, there brilliant at keeping the wind and rain off.
    I can ride at uk motorway legal speed limit with my visor up no problems.

    Not the best looking screen in my opinion but they do what they're supposed to.

    Hi tierp, before buying the new screen have a look at this thread, the spacers could be worth a try before forking out!?

    Hi and welcome to the forum - you have chosen a great bike - is it blue by any chance? :)
    I've just looked up Tierp on google earth and I'm sure it is cold - do you have snow yet?

    Hey Steve, we've got snow that's about 8-10 cm. Today it is about -1-5 degrees. So I do not want to take out the motorcycle now I have to wait until March to April then maybe I can hit the road.
    Does it look strange when I write, I get to complain about Google.

    See you
    Tierp

    Hey Crispey , I'm going to test how it will be with spacers before I buy.

    See you
