Hi - I was wondering whether anybody had new feedback on Triumph's Aero screen?? I am 6ft 2 in and like the stock screen - it can get turbulent at speed, more so in freeway traffic it seems. It lets lots of air past to get through all of my perforations!! I may change to the Aero when winter comes (such as it is in San Diego).

Of course - I have read that some people love it andsome feel it raises the flow to the perfect height for maximum annoyance!!

Anyway - any new info would be appreciated.

Take care - BB

I just Bought one it will not be in for a week. So hope it works good. The Sales perspn that sold me my bike has one on his sprint and he loves it.

I have one and I like it. I didn't notice the difference at first, but one trip over 100 miles, and I could definitely tell how much it helped. It takes a lot of wind off your helmet, but there's still plenty of wind around your shoulders. Definitely made a significant difference.

Also, it really changes the look of the bike.

Hope you enjoy yours.

I don't know. I had an aftermarket version on my '03, and at 6'1" found that a lot of air went straight at my head. Normally this isn't a problem with my Shoei helmet, but using my Nolan 102, the air went right up under and into my nose. Sounds funny, but got annoying.

I'm using a Double-Bubble style screen on my '06 and like it better. Plus, it doesn't cause the bike to buffet as much as the taller screen did to my '03.

JohnsHumpert - so, do you think the looks are changed for the better, the worse - or is it all good!!?? I wish the Aero screens were tinted a little more.

NinjaRAT - I agree, my '00 had a taller, non-double bubble screen and I always felt it caused buffeting of the bike itself.

Thanks, as usual, for the feedback

Honestly, at first I didn't like the way it looked. I thought it was too tall, but everyone else likes it and I've heard nothing but positive feedback about the way it looks. Plus, it's functional, so even if I weren't crazy about the way it looked, it did work. But yeah, it grew on me.

Hi, bb i am 6ft 2 and have the aero screen on my bike i must say that i do get a lot of helmet movement with this screen at speeds over 70mph.
I did have the skidmarx d/bubble screen on before my little crash and it was a lot better than the triumph one
P.S and they are cheaper.

I went on Power Bronzes website and couldn't find one for the newer Sprints... Does anyone have a direct link to the double bubble shields I've been hearing about?

You find them under Screens, then Airflow-Screens and then Triumph, Sprint ST 05-!
Greetings, George !
