    Hi all, just brought my first Triumph America (2013 plate) and am looking for advice on best windshield for two up touring and good place to get one here in the UK. Thanks in advance of your suggestions.

    My 2010 America came with the full size Triumph screen. They also do a summer screen. It was a bad hight for me. The top of the screen was at eye level which was very irritating so I cut about 5cm off it. I'm about 5 feet 8.
    Are you going to the ride out next week ? Maybe you could sit on a few and try for size. Depends what seat you've got of course.

    I run a Dart Classic screen, nice neat looking little flyscreen, takes the wind blast off your chest but there's still plenty. My wife and I have done a couple of 1000 mile tours and it does ok, but not sure any screen on an America is going to rid you of any blast, but the Dart Classic does more than you would believe from it's small size.
    And direct from Dart
