| | Posted : 09 Jan 2013 - 00:47 Post title : Roadster Windshield on T bird | | | Just got the Roadster windshield installed on my 13 T bird Storm. Works great. The screen is compatible with the T bird mounting bracket with minor mod to lower peg. It has to be moved upward. It looks good and works well for a 5' 9" guy like me.

They don't show one yet with a cut-out for the Storm's double headlight, but you might call them - I know they will do custom heights and maybe they'll work with someone to do a screen for the Storm.

| | Posted : 01 Feb 2013 - 18:16 Post title : Re: Roadster Windshield on T bird (Re: Noladuck) | | | Rocket III roadster has dual head lights which is why this shield works good on the Storm. The T bird windshield bracket is used. The location of the bottom mounting pin has to be relocated up a few inches. Also the Roadster wind shield can be moved up or down on the mounting pins to adjust for height. The weather her in East Tennesse has been atrocious so I have not been able to get out where I can take pics. I will asap.

| | Posted : 02 Feb 2013 - 02:17 Post title : Re: Roadster Windshield on T bird (Re: k8sdad) | | | My misunderstanding. You said "roadster" screen, and assumed you meant the thunderbird roadster screen, not the r3 version. Being how I have the tbird roadster screen, and I just converted to dual headlamps, I was very curious to see how you were able to make the tbird screen work with duals. I am looking forward to seeing your r3 screen pics.

I don't use them now, I have gone to the Hardstreet Slimbags. The Givi bags worked great, I just didn't care for the "vertical" bag look. I used easy brackets on both.

Have been taking a beating on longer trips on my Storm, and so far only have the Dart screen, which nicely deflects the air flow directly to my face:) if they are coming out with some Storm friendly screens, that is great news!

| | Posted : 04 Feb 2013 - 22:27 Post title : Re: Roadster Windshield on T bird (Re: Alegas) | | | I would love to show pics but right now I dont even have the motorcycle. Its in the shop since last Tuesday. Seems it's blowing a starter fuse and wont start. Whenever I get it back Im gonna get some pics on here. In short, the stock T bird windshied mount is used. the lower mounting stud has to be moved up a few inches to accomodate the brackets on the Rocket III Roadster windshield. Once its on, the Roadster shield will actually slide up and down for height adjustment. Of course since both the Rocket Roadster and the T bird STORM have dual lights it works great. I wish mine would start! Any ideas on that?
