    think i might be in a problem ! i recently bought a 08 american , and i got a genuine screen on ebay , its a quick release one and comes with all fittings etc and was given a link to the instructions
    http://www.triumphinstructions.com/ProdDocs/A9708238-US.pdf
    they look like my bike and screen , but a couple of things i have noticed that arnt going to work i think , the screen is held on with 2 brackets that run in front of the 2 yokes , well my bottom yoke has a lighting bar in front of it allready so its
    not going to sit unless something is modded , also those instructions show the indicators on the lower yoke where as my indicators are on the handle bars , it shows the indicators on the speedmaster the same as mine though , i know the later bikes have the indicators on the lower yoke but my lighting bar that holds the 2 spots sits there ! an body else ever seen a similar problem ?
    this is the screen here

    I think you will find that the quick release screen will only fit bikes from 2010 or possibly newer onward tried it mines a 2005 speedmaster

    the seller had it listed as fitting the efi model so mine being 08 should have fitted i would have thought ! i will make it fit as i have it now and if you check the new price of it its about £500 !!!!! so i will play :)
    the kit came with a new wiring harness an all to move the indicators but im not worried about them its the lower bracket on the yoke that isnt right , i might be able to cut and shut it ! , ill leave it till the dark nights when i put the bike off the road to p[lay with it , ill post back .
