Clearview windshield

We're comparing your orange to my apple here, on the Rocket 3 TOURING the stock shield has lowers and already does a decent job of slowing the air. An even better one with the taller and wider Clearview main shield.

Your 2005 can't be a Touring since they only came out in 2008, so you need to figure out how to get lower wind deflectors on it as well.
 
just realized i was asking wrong group. New guy here to the Triumph crowd
 
Easy enough to miss what forum you're in when you read from the "new threads" list etc, but I just wanted to make everyone aware that shields on the R3T and shields on the R3-everything-else is not the same discussion.

The R3T has a decent shield when you buy it, but it usually needs to be taller to get the helmet out of the wind blast. But it also comes with the lowers that also helps steer the wind to the sides. The other R3's probably need some kind of solution for lower wind deflectors also, as you've noted.
 
there is a thread on here that has a lay out and instructions on how to make your own lowers. I believe it was placed on here by Rocket Sicencetis or Phil, can't remember. there's also someone here that used a set of Harley chrome lowers that look good. you have to adapt them some but it doesn't look to difficult.
 

You might get a helper and run a string from your eyes to the pavement 30 feet in front of you wheel.
Then measure from the top of your headlights up to the string.
 

You may wish to move that shield down closer to the headlights . . .
just sayin' . . .
 

Careful - not everyone has the same torso height.
This can vary quite a lot.
just sayin' . . .
 


Harley FLH. Several manufacturers or buy used at swap meet or bbay. 20 to 100$
You just have to move the signal lights out using the stock mount.
The bottom is affixed using a set of R3 fork mounts. 90$ for a set of four.

They fly well.
Has been done before by others.
Look in the media archives.
