Has anyone here used this shield and if so does it create turbulance for the rider? Thanks.
That's a nice looking bike you haveHey Ormaond, ive got a marlin on mine. Its quite effective. Im 5'11'' and get turbulence probably top half of my helmet, but takes all buffeting away from my torso. I like it so far..
I’ve got that Dart Classic on my Bobber too. It does about the same for me, but seems to dirExt the air to just about my top half of my face. I use a 3/4 helmet with face shield at all times, so it works for me.I have the Classic on my 2013 Speedmaster. Pretty close to the same as the Marlin. I love the low profile of it and it does help with the buffeting on the body and most of the helmet. When riding I move my hand around and can feel the sweet spot for most of my torso. I've always be a no windshield guy but this is a great compromise.

Hello mate, Just got a 2013 speedmaster and put one of these on,Has anyone here used this shield and if so does it create turbulance for the rider? Thanks.
I, have the Triumph tall screen on my Tiger 800 XC which I have had for almost eleven years. It works fairly well. I do get a little helmet buffering at freeway speeds; but it is nothing I can't live with.I have the Genuine Triumph tall screen on my Tiger 800 . Don’t think it has any height adjustment , but the tilt angle can be a adjusted with some tools . I have changed the angle just once , shortly after I got it . It’s a beautifully made , multi contoured piece that was less expensive than many of the aftermarkets available. It’s been perfect for almost a decade now and I ride pretty close to the speed limit ,if you get my drift .
The Triumph fly screen on the Thruxton R works as described , it keeps the dead bugs off the clocks . I appreciate that when wearing the wash mitt
You’re taller than me and have better posture...I, have the Triumph tall screen on my Tiger 800 XC which I have had for almost eleven years. It works fairly well. I do get a little helmet buffering at freeway speeds; but it is nothing I can't live with.
I had a Marlin and it was nice, looked great. But the turbulence on the side was too much for me. The wind hit me toward the top of the helmet, and that was okay. Just didn't like the side effects. Switched to a windshield, that I cut down about to 18 inches high, just below my eyes. Very happy with that setup.I just removed the dart marlin screen, the turbulence around my helmet was significant but what really killed it for me was the noise generated by said turbulence. I have a Shoei NXR helmet and I am 5’10”. Have also tried a larger screen with even worse results. Sticking to no screen for now.
