In the event anyone at Triumph is listening (do they ever condescend to listen to us unworthy customers?), providing black painted brackets between the lower part of the roadster screen and the headlight is STUPID, especially when all of the other harware in the kit is chromed. For the price of this screen all of the hardware should be triple chromed. I now have chrome headlight brackets connected to chrome screen hardware by a flat black bracket that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Further, when you sell a chrome accessory, like the chain guard, it should include new chrome bolts. Its STUPID to have to reuse the old flat black bolts and ruin the look of the chrome piece.

Why is it that aftermarket suppliers always seem to think of these things and Triumph never does?

They are good points Gary, caused me to walk out to the garage and look at my Adventurer.

My Roadster Screen brackets have a mixture of black and chrome parts. Never thought about it, probably because there is already a mixture of black and chrome parts in the headlight assembly on my bike. It would probably show up more on older Adventurers, they had more chrome parts in the headlight/instrument area.

Then I went around to the back and saw that my chrome chain guard did come with matching hex bolts.

Both were installed in late 99, wouldn't doubt if it was done differently now, but I would be annoyed as well.
