Windscreens

A complaint often heard amongst Trophy riders is that of the noise experienced with the stock (standard) screen. The obvious and cheapest solution is to wear earplugs, which is good practice in any case.

However, there are other potential solutions to this issue. Aftermarket screens, various edging devices and some owners have even made their own modifications to standard screens.

Important note: When changing screens, you may find the rubber well nuts spin in the fairing. One solution is to push them all the way through the fairing and fit new ones. A non-Triumph supplier of these rubber nuts is BSR Aerotek Do not be tempted to use steel bolts, as the nylon bolts are designed to snap in the event of an accident.

Clearview Screens
Clearview screens are manufactured in the USA and they manufacture for a number of motorcycle marques. Initially they were manufactured in 3mm Perspex but they quickly changed to 5mm to provide a more robust screen. They are available in various sizes and are usually manufactured with the 'Cats Eye' vents to prevent back pressure. Early screens had a closeable grille vent but very few of these were made.

Clearview have a policy that they will exchange a screen of incorrect size providing the plastic covering has not been removed and there is no damage at all to the screen. Benefits of fitting these screens include better weather protection, reduced wind noise, less buffeting and better handling of the bike in sidewinds.
