RIII Milky Windshield

[trumpy81]

GDay All,

I have a 2005 Rocket III (bought new) with an original Triumph Accessory Windshield fitted.

The bike has been sitting idle for the last 7 years or so (been too ill to ride it) and on recent inspection I noticed that parts of the windshield had gone milky white instead of clear.

I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this or does anyone have any ideas on how I should handle this issue?

Any help/advice would be appreciated, thanks.

I have never seen that before
Does it still run?

Old plexiglass?
I recommend 7 Jurock as the best bang for the buck.

At the moment it is not running. It needs a fuel pump and probably injectors, unless I can clean them well enough. I did start it and run it on a regular basis until the battery carked it. After fitting a new battery, the pump failed to run and it has not run since then, about 2 years now.

I do have a new pump waiting to be fitted, just gotta get well enough to get downstairs and put it in.

@Sparky59
Thanks. Sounds like I will fit right in ... lol

Thanks for the tip. I was hoping to get out of it on the cheap, but if I have to, I will consider replacing the screen.

Just polish it with a plastic polish compound. Heaps of brands and grades.

If it has star glazed all the way through like my Triumph Sprint 1050 screen did just replace.

Thanks I was hoping that there may be something like that out there and I will look into that further.

As far as I could see, there was no star glazing, just the milky white colour, so fingers crossed, it might buff out ... lol
