    Welcome to the Family. We will need a picture of the Steed. When I had my Thunderbird I fitted a Memphis Screen to the Triumph hardware. I found it to be perfect.
    Ride Safe

    Welcome from sunny California.

    I do not recommend a fly screen as they don't protect much. Suggest a larger screen. I have the Triumph long haul screen on my Street Twin and it does a good job. I assume Triumph makes a similar size for the America.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    Triumph do sell a full length, quick release screen which is standard in the LT America. Just bear in mind, that i'm 6'1 and found the top of the screen was in my eye line so I've taken it off.

    Love my America, but unfortunately have to sell my baby.

    I hope this isn't against forum rules, but its hard to find a place to list your America's because everyone is obsessed with the Bonneville. I have a
    fantastsic 2014 for sale. Take a look if not to buy. Call with any questions **/845%%264$#5070.

    Obviously way cheaper through me then ebay. As in, don't buy through e-mail. Ring me up at 8/4/5-264-5/0/7/0 or email at [email protected] if that is easier then giving me a ring.

    and price negotiable. Ebay takes such a big cut.
