What don't you like about your triumph wind shield

The Triumph shield was already fitted to my 2010 Roadster when I bought it, and I rode it to Perth and back like that. When summer came I removed it and left it off all season then reinstalled it come autumn. It lasted about a week and I literally pulled it off halfway through a ride to Sydney and put it in the sidecar boot.
It was never re-installed.
I couldn't stand the buffeting.
I'm 5'10".
To be honest I don't think windshields or fairings actually provide much in the way or real weather protection unless you can miraculously appear on the road at about 80kph upwards so the draught works.
I like the wind on my face anyway.

I have no problem with the assertion that the triumph windshield on a roadster is a waste of money. I purchased one from another member, put it on. Buffeting was so bad after 10 miles, I went home removed it and it has been shelved since.

Same here, but instead of removing, I bought a Clearview from a forum member. I believe if you had lowers, or cut a vent into the Triumph screen, it would perform better. Some here have vented theirs with good results.
 

You can drill extra holes and raise the OEM shield an inch or so.
I have used Clearview several times. Good shield, but 7Jurock is as good and a much better value.
 
I installed a secdem /bullster roadster shield for spring and fall modified the mounting so I can use same brackets for sport screen I am 5/11 and the bullster is just about right and deflect the air over my head

have you ever seen a bullster windshield? they are unlike any barn door style .. very streamlined and available in various tint ..mine is angled at 65 degres from an horizontal plane and came i the dark smoke tint.
 
The major issue with Triumph screens is the price. They are made in the USA and have a monstrous markup. Other screens bought directly from the mfr are 1/2 the price.

I have had no weaving issues running well above legal for hours on end.
Mine sits higher than most - I made new side plates to lift the screen up and forward a bit as I run with a Black flyscreen behind it to shade the instruments.
I look over the top and have NO head buffeting at all at 4000rpms plus in top.

Fit or make lowers - this makes a big difference to the buffeting issue.
