Tman,
I have both the stock and the Triumph touring screen--I can't tell any difference between the two. I'm 5'8" tall and get no buffeting with either screen; however, the wind noise is unacceptable. There are a lot of after-market screens becoming available for the 1050--shop around before you buy. You can read about some of the different screens available on the tiger1050.com forum. The one that I think may be a good one to check out is the Calsci screen--made in California, I believe. Go to www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/Tigerprod.html for a look at the screen, etc. Some of the guys on the tiger1050 forum say they are buying this screen and will post a write-up after testing.
If you experience buffeting with your current screen, some have cut 3 to 5 inches of height off the screen and solved the buffeting problem. Take the screen off and ride with it off--you probably will be surprised with the result. Some have had good results with the Thunderbike double bubble sport screen (a low screen) as far as buffeting, but some have said it didn't help. There are a lot of variables and these things cost enough that if you buy 3 or 4, it is a significant cost, IMHO.
