I have the Triumph OEM Roadster screen. It looks nice, very "traditional," and mounts well; comes off easily also, without removing the hardware, if you have a protein dificiency and need bugs in your teeth.

Trouble is that it has to sit so far forward that, above 60 mph, it causes a lot of buffeting and noise to a taller rider (I'm 6'2") who sits behind the protective cone of silent air. So, there is a trade off there.

I have not, however, had anyone tell me that they have a screen that does NOT buffet the rider at highway speeds. If you look closely at the instrumentation, headlight and handlebar configuration on the Tbird it is pretty obvious that there just isn't much room for a large screen that fits close to the rider, which is what you really need. So I stick with the Roadster.
