    Hiya,

    So I live in Lafayette, La and the bugs here are massive and I need a windshield but the kind that fit this model are so not my taste. I really like the old school retro style. Is there one on the market that is bigger and wider that fits this bike? Help! The bugs are kicking my ass!

    I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, so I feel literally your pain. I know you have us beat, but I hate riding at dusk :( Take a look at the 2018 Speedmaster windshield in this video. Is it what you are looking for? If it is, it might be worth taking a hard look at the mounting brackets to see if they will mate-up to your bike.



    I came across this by Googling "image triumph bobber windshield." I suspect you will have a difficult time since a windshield is kind of opposed to the bobber mentality.

    Hi Laura - you brought a tear to my eye with that photo.:sob: I had an ex-police bike with a hand-shifter/foot clutch like the one in the photo. It was a '67 shovelhead and the most comfortable thing ever put on 2 wheels. I put a lot of miles on that bike.

    Back to your issue. Since you are in the US, have you tried Memphis Shades, Cee Bailey, and British Customs? They may all be a 'stretch', but Cee Bailey (aircraft and motorcycle) and Memphis Shades may have something in the works, or might have something you can adapt. I would still start by carefully comparing and measuring the '18 Speedmaster vs. your bike to see if that windshield will work on your Bobber.

    Probably too small for your needs Laura but I've just fitted a Dart Classic on my Bobber. It transforms fast (70+ mph) cruising and makes it much more comfortable.
