I have a National Cycle Plexifairing 3 for mine. I may even put it back on soon, with this cold spell.

For me, it buffeted much less than the Triumph Tombstone style, which drove me mad. At just over 6' tall, I see over the Plexi3 just fine, and the wind isn't too bad. It also has a lower section which snakes behind the turn signals and gives some wind protection to the knees. Not to mention it also deflects wind off the hands.
And it's quick release, too. :-)

I'd like to see a picture of that! In the past, I've used the National Cycle Custom Heavy Duty screen, which is similar to the Memphis Shades in that you order the screen separately from the hardware. For some reason, they make hardware for the Trident, but not for the T-Bird (which is odd, because you would think a "cruiser" style windshield would look out of place on a modern naked bike like the Trident.)

Here are pics as promised. A couple relevant notes:
- This is a 17" tall Memphis Slim. Seems to work ideal for me...I'm 5'8". If I lift myself up in the stirrups 6 inches or so I do get wind buffeting. If you're much taller than me, you may want a bigger shade.
- The hardware will work the same way for any size Memphis Fats.
- The rods included in the MEM9903 kit are *just* long enough for this application. Some different setups may require getting longer rods, which are also available from Memphis Shades.

If anyone tries this and has any questions about how it goes together, email me.

I'll put in a vote for the Triumph summer screen, which I think is lower/smaller than the roadster. At 5'8" it takes all the blast off my torso and onto my helmet, which I don't mind personally. I think it fits the look too.
