I am considering the Secdem Euroscreen for my new rocket. Does anybody have experience with this screen or have an alternative to Triumph screen? If you have a picture of one on bike would love to see it.

Looks too small. Check out clearviewshields. I got the R03 with 1" extra in lenght and 1" on each side. It's a big screen, better than the Triumph stock.

GT replacements are now available from Clearview Shields. Designed to fit back into the Triumph Rocket brackets and will provide a greater level of coverage for larger riders or those who wish to simply enhance the comfort level over the stock screen.


The GT model exceeds the stock by 5" in length and 1"
of width on each side.


TRI-RKOO ROCKET III STOCK $ 98.29

TRI-RKGO ROCKET III STOCK LT GRAY $
118.29

TRI-RK03 ROCKET III GT +3" LENGTH +1" EACH SIDE
$131.29

TRI-RK03 ROCKET III GT +3" LENGTH +1" EACH SIDE LT GRAY
$151.29

TRI-RK05 ROCKET III GT +5" LENGTH +1" EACH SIDE

Well not for me!! I'm 1,80m tall and it's perfect. I wanted something a little more discreet. The top of the screen is about right under my eyes. I bought it a couple of days ago and I'm going for a 250 miles ride on Sunday so I'll keep you informed on the handling at higher speeds. Found it at 163€ in Europe.

The problem with very big screens is that they have a negative effect on the bike handling....

....and good handling is also a factor for a good comfort level. :wink:

Got back from the ride last night so here's the latest update.
The trail included highways with some fast curves,a few secondaries and country side roads, The average speed was about 50 mph with reaching on the highways 85 mph(far over the speed limits).
My personal impression is that the windshield works really fine. I'm not enthusiastic of these fly catchers but I must admit that they're quite efficient. I noticed no bad handling at the highest speed, good coverage and great visibility. It's size seems to be right:you lean a little forward and you're completely protected, otherwise you get a nice breeze. The return from the trip was made at nighttime and still, no troubled vision looking through the windscreen.
During the trip, I was riding with 7 others rocketeers. Two of them had the Triumph stock windshields and three others the Secdem. They are all fun of it.
What's apprieciable with it is that you can adjust quite easily the angle regarding the kind of wind protection you're looking for(what probably you can't do with the others!).
In final, my opinion is that the Secdem does the job, at lower cost, and still staying quite discreet. The rest is only a question of taste.
I have to give a special thanks to Tracker jack who helped me to set the shield properly. The Triumph dealer didn't install it the right way.
P.S. I don't work for this company and I'm not related to it in any way!!!.
all the best
