Hey Rocketeer's,

Do you that have the Roadster windscreen get any buffeting and
if so, at what speed?

Thanks,
 
I use one in the winter and for long trips. I like it and experience no buffering. I'm 5'9" so the taller guys may have to help you if you're taller.
 
I have been using a large screen for almost 2 years, I do get a slight amount of buffeting but only because I have been too lazy to trim it to suit.

I have had the R3 well over the ton a few times with no issues.
 
Never have had buffeting with any of the shields I have ran on many bikes I have ridden well above the ton.
But then, I always set my shield height on line with my seated eye height to a point on a level road surface 50 feet ahead of the leading edge of my front tire.
 
I will get a bit of buffeting at times, esp when driving into the wind. I think most of this is due to air coming up under the shield. Lowers would probably stop this. Has anyone had any success with the Laminar Lip?

I'm 6 ft.
 
I had the stock screen for a while and now have the sport screen and a full-sized one made by clearview shields

It's an improvement, but not night and day. I'm only 5'5" but I do experience buffeting somewhere above 60. It may come from the sides around the forks, not sure. I don't like the way the lower guards look, but I'll bet they would help a lot.

I had a BMW R1200RT with an electric windshield (ahhhhh) that would put you in a pocket of still air when raised. Triumph needs to figure this out.
 
I have all of them and if I'm going to use a non aerodynamic screen it would be the summer screen which is a hard to find bugger.
That being said two years ago I decided to try a long trip with just the fly/sports screen style. It's much better then I thought and I haven't used either wind screens since.
