I am 5'9" with a 31" inseam and I am 100% satisfied with this windshield. I look over it, the top of the screen is about where my mouth is and there is zero buffeting. Very little wind noise and I often forget to put my visor down even at high speeds and cold temperatures.
The vent definitively helps reducing the wind noise.
To my surprise even my hands get quite a bit of protection from the screen.
Same boat here, I couldn't find a way to purchase just the windscreen hardware so I could order the clear view so I too spent $600 on the triumph screen and front end fixing kit. At least my dealer was kind enough to give me a one time 15% discount on any assessories when I purchased my R3R. I'm just curious on the buffeting.... I pick up my ride on Monday. So I have no experience with the Rocket as of yet.
You need the fixing kit that mounts the windshield to the forks and you also need the windshield frame. The only way I know of to get the windshield frame is to buy the whole thing from Triumph. I have the Clearview windshield and like it a lot better than the triumph shield. With Clearview all you get is the replacement Plexiglas. However it is much better designed than the one from Triumph.
I am 6'1" with a 30" inseam, short legs. I went with the 25" shield, 2" wider and the upper recurve with an added vent. absolutely love it. A lot less buffeting and the vent is nice on a hot day. An added feature is that you can use rain-x or just about anything on their windshield.
Look on E-bay for a complete windshield, you might find one. If you have to go back to Triumph, get the windshield with the five holes pattern instead of the one with three.
I picked up a used windshield on eBay and when it came in already had the clear view on it but it was scratched from an accident. Plan to replace it soon with a new one. Paid $160 for it
