    Hello Triumph Forum.....thx for allowing me to join!
    I bought my current Thunderbird in 2012 and at the time it was my 'cruiser' amongt three other bikes that I love to ride. Being Canadian, I have a relatively short riding season, but I just can't get enough of it and I like all styles of bikes. I recently bought a 2019 Indian Chieftain (bagger style) and I will be using that as my 'cruiser'. I am currently in the process of dismantling my Thrunderbird cruiser-accessories (ie. high way bars, memphis shade, saddle bags, highway peg, passenger pegs etc......) and am installing a single seat, back-fender chrome rack, new Sportster-style handlebars etc....., but I cannot seem to find a headlight cowel anywhere on the internet. My Triumph dealer was no help, so I am attempting to find it myself......and looking to reach out to other Triumph lovers who might know where I can look further. I am doubtful to find a headlight cowel in the correct colour scheme (my black/red blended colour (direct from Triumph) is awesome), so it will likely be next to impossible for an amature like me or elsewhere to match, but I am ready to take my chances. My bike resembles this one that I found on the internet (pic attached) and it is that headlight cowel that I just would love to get my hands on! If anyone out there can offer some assistance, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Dave

    Hi Dave, welcome aboard, hope you enjoy the forum, just a long shot but you could have a look on "The world of Triumph" website, here in the UK, they appear to have them, listed as flyscreens and they do a red marble haze, so not sure if that's your colour, good luck in finding one, from another Dave.

    Hi Dave, welcome in and I hope you find what you're looking for. New to the world of Triumph myself so can't be much help I'm afraid :cool::cool:

    Thanks to the Forum and everyone who has 'reached out', I now have a part # (A9708170-CY) and a correct description..........it is not a headlight cowel (as I thought), it is called a Flyscreen Kit and the awesome red/blk colour or the bike is called Marble Red Haze.
    THANK YOU ALL!
