Just added a Triumph Roadster windshield to my America and it is almost un-ridable over 60 now.. I am 6 foot 2, so I think I am too tall. Seems like I am being bashed in the head.. any suggestions other than take it off?

I'm 6-2 also and had a similar issue.
You may need to slide the mount up the fork tubes a bit and give it a more vertical angle. Play with it a bit. I found it's still way better than no screen at all. You may have to get a larger windshield if it doesn't work for you. Good luck!

I'm 5'9" and have the same issue, oddly it is not always an issue at same speeds. There is a great web site, www.bonnevilleamerica.com with good info. Check Clearview screens posts. They use your Triumph brackets and there are other makes feedback as well. Bob

1. drill 2 holes about 3/4" along the bottom.
2. put some spacers at the bottom to pull the shield away from the bike a little.

These options will help reduce the pressure build up around the screen and help it lift off instead of wrapping around you.
