Modified Triumph Flyscreen...

Modified Triumph Flyscreen...

I wrote this up a long time ago-but here it is again:

Go to your favorite hardware store, find four appropriate hollow metal bolts of equal size, than appropriate screws to go through. I found ones with round flat heads to face forward, giving it a "stock" look. Also find rubber washers to attache on every mating surface to reduce stress and marring of the surfaces. Obviously, the round rubber washers need to be larger than the bolts.

What I have in that space now is a large camera bag zip tied with black straps and held permanently in place. Even when the cxamera bag is full, it hardly effects getting to the key-and is well worth it. It also raises and pushes the screen out further, making it a bit more effective at highway speeds.

Miami...................that IS the Triumph screen correct? Also............what the f&$k are you building......ROBOROCKET? Man.....where do you get the time? But I am sure glad you do. Did you experiment with the placement to get optimum wind deflection or was your first priority needed storage room? :shock:

Looks good Dave

Like to see a front on photo.... those bolts look a little extreme from that angle :?

As far as need-it was originally to make the screen more effective, and with all that space-well-the camera bag fit pretty **** well. It was one of the first mods I made-and I didn't write it up. I plan on getting the bolts powder coated either silver or red. Probably silver since they are muddy.

You probably already have seen the front:

I kind of went Miami Dave's way except I used a Harley mirror extension kit. Comes with 2 2"chrome sleeves and I then cut the stem part which was the same length,drilled thru them so they matched the sleeves holes,bought 2 1/4 long 12 point bolts and some chrome washers and nylon lock nuts,nylon and rubber washers and installed it all. works well for me. Now my eye's don't constantly tear from the wind off the fly screen. It looks good all chromed,like it almost belongs there. Thanks Miami Dave for the idea....

Thanks to MD for the design. I used 2.5" long 3/4" anodized aluminum drilled out to 1/4". Truth be told, I don't see much difference in wind on the eyes at speed.
