Does anyone know if there is another company that makes a taller windshield than the stock one for the Rocket?
I have max out the upward mobility of teh stock one which still lacks 1-2 inches from the tip being level with my eyes. Or is there another company that makes a bracket to raise the windshield up. Right now the windshield is 1-2 inches above the headlights.

Let me know
Charlie

This outfit makes taller replacement plastic to fit the Roadster screen, so you're in luck since assuming what they put on the Rocket Tourer is exactly the same thing.

I replaced the my summer screen with a larger screen from Clearview. Perfect fit and very easy installation.

Hi!
I had the Triumph "Roadster"(their largest) screen on my Rocket. Since I added Rivco handlebar-risers, I noticed a lot more wind-buffeting because of the more upright seating position. Got the GT25 screen from Clearview (145 plus 20 S/H): 23" in length, 3" longer and 2" wider than the T. screen.
Putting it on was easy. Haven't ridden yet. Will let you know whether it met my expectations.

IF you're still getting some buffeting even with the taller screen then what you probably need to add are the fork deflectors i.e. the clear lowers which go below the screen. Worked wonders for me (and several others here).
