The cutout is for one headlight not two like the storm. At first glance it doesn't look like it would fit. I previously had a National cycle screen and they said it was designed for the storm. It wasn't. There was a huge air space between the lights and the cutout, causing air to hit my chest and then travel up inside my helmet. Rain was bad enough, but the wasps that were buzzing inside my helmet at 80 mph was a bit much. This happened on three separate occasions resulting in my decision to by the new screen. Don't want to tear everything apart only to repack if it doesn't fit.

But when I bought it, I ordered a roadster screen with quick release mounts. When I showed up to the dealership to pick up the screen, it was for the single headlight. The Service Manager and I attempted to hold it up to where the QR mounts would go and the lower corners looked to be blocked by the Storm's dual headlights...meaning it couldn't fit with the QR mounts, at least. So I sent them packing and have been screenless since new. I don't have my old paperwork to confirm/deny the part number, but it was a roadster screen.
Others have taken a dremmel to the bottom of various screens (Triumph and aftermarket) to get the to "fit" with the dual headlight setup. Poke around more here and you might find something.
Good Luck,
Jamie

They handle genuine Triumph parts and they are cheaper. Got a set of leather bags 100 bucks off what Triumph wanted. Everything is cheaper. Something to consider. Free shipping too.
I don't blame them, they are just quoting what Triumph notes.
Thanks again, Chris
