Triumph GT windscreen on the R, worth it or buffeting?

Any pics showing the GT with the painted screen? Just so I can believe you that’s all
 
What's not to like about the larger screen?! I see comfort.
That is a nice big ass screen. You must be tall. I do like big screens but it does detract from the looks just a little in my opinion. My way around it was to have a full screen for touring and sports screen for around the hood. Your bike looks good with the screen on it.
 
Thanks. I move it down since adjustable for around town. Hwy it makes a huge difference. 6'1". I ride mostly hwy.
 
Zutt - Unfortunately I don't have photos and both of those bikes are buried way in the back of the shed behind all the other bikes and ATVs. It being a Maine Winter (and having just finished shoveling 19" of the white stuff), the bikes won't be out of hibernation until May. I saw a photo of Lamonster's bike and he had done the same thing and may have a photo available.

Just for clarification, I was talking about Plasti Dip which can be peeled off easily if you don't like it. I personally would not paint a windscreen. BTW, if you do the Plasti Dip I would recommend using painter's tape on the edge all the way around the windscreen to keep from overspray and to keep the lines/edges looking good. I only spray the back of the windscreen. Costs about $10 a spray can. I spray 4-5 coats and you'll have some left over...
 
Here's a pic of my GT windscreen after a rattle can paint job, yes it's permanent and that is just how I want it.
Easy to do, a fine scotchbrite scuffing on the back side prior to masking with painters tape and just take your time don't get in a rush!

No worries. 19" that a lot! It must be painful keeping those bikes in hibernation for a few months. I'll look it up. Thanks for the info.
 
This looks beautiful. Good job.

Agreed, although the GT wind screen is sexy I pretty much most of the time blast around with a mid height Powerbronze topped off with a Wunderlich deflector which cuts off the wind blast from my chin down. Still leaves my helmeted head in the slipstream for good ventilation.
And when I say good protection I include a picture of my setup after riding thru 150 miles of migrating butterfly's, from a trip back from the Texas coast.
The cleanup was pretty traumatizing to say the least!
