I have the stock windshield on my 2011 R3T. Is it made of acrylic or polycarbonate? Thanks.
 
There's one way to find out... My owners handbook calls it plastic. If you can buff out a scratch it's probably Acrylic, Polycarbonate the scratch is usually permanent.. I have the stock Triumph Summer Screen and have been able to buff out scratches on it. Good Question??

I believe National Cycle makes the windshields for Triumph.

I tend to agree with Claviger. I got an acrylic screen from Cee Baily and it was different from stock.
 


Settles what?

Acrylic windshields/screens are pretty robust, too...

Hmmmm... Lexan vs. Lucite?

A bit shocked if they used acrylic on the stock screens, a bit of a liability issue, there is actually kind of a good reason that PC is the predominant material in use for windows on vehicles.

Kidding. I don't know what the stock screens are made of. My stock screen is stored away and I have a Clearview. They seem the same. The Cee Bailey I had on a TBird was acrylic seemed different than the stock screens and Clearviews I've had on Triumphs since 2004. Why would Triumph use National? US company?
