Triumphrat

I had placed an ad in the Members' Only section of the AMA web site to sell my Summer Screen (no one here was interested). A guy responded and sent a pic of a Clearview replacement shield on his Bonnie and suggested that I not sell the Summer Screen, but try the Clearview which he loves.

www.clearviewshields.com

Anyway, they look just great; use the standard Triumph hardware and come as a simple replacement which is a duplicate of the 13" high Summer Shield; and in several much taller heights: 18"; 19.5" and 21" - depending on whether you want to look over or through the shield. The tall shields are also 2" wider than stock on each side; 4" wider in all.

All the tall shields are $145.00 and are custom built to order. This is the busy season and turn around time on an order is four weeks. Shields are not made until the order is placed.

I am VERY tempted. Have any of you tried this shield? It looks very high quality and would totally eliminate the need for any handlebar hardware, and there is not a lot of room left on a stock handlebar as it is.

Looks like a great solution since I already have the sunk investment in the Summer Screen and will not be able to sell it without taking quite a financial hit. Advice? Opinions?

Let me know ASAP because I would like to order this week unless someone has a horror story that might give me pause.

Thanks much!

I've been thinking about these for some time too - they look like good quality and the choice of size is impressive

The only thing that puts me off is that they use the Triumph brackets so I think they (the Triumph Roadster screen is what I had) sit up a little bit too close to the vertical for me

And they aren't adjustable at all unless someone has found a way of doing it

I too would be very interested in other peoples findings

A couple of guys on the BonnevilleAmerica.com list have bought Clearview replacement shields and they were very pleased. Most bought slightly larger. I'll be due for a replacement for my Roadster screen probably next season. I'll go 1" higher and wider for the replacement.
