Triumph Thunderbird 1700 & 1600 Quick Release Roadster Windshield
$ 93.93
- I had read about these shields on a couple of forums and had noticed people mentioning that the vents had sometimes been placed so that they were blocked by the bracket crossbar. I made the mistake of asking Clearview about this issue and was told that they had never had any complaints about that it. Well, it seems like a random thing for people to have lied about, so I tend to believe them rather than Clearview. I only received abrupt emails from Clearview after that enquiry. Apparently the customer isn’t welcome to ask questions about reported problems. I bought the shield anyway, and it’s not too bad. It definitely has more coverage at the top and at the sides over the standard Triumph shield, and the vent (correctly placed, I should acknowledge) is a nice feature. What disappointed me was that I chose this shield over others because of the lower extension that went around the turn signals and gave extra low coverage, since the Triumph lowers kit isn’t available anymore. When I received the shield and fitted it I noticed that this lower part of the shield was missing and that it actually extended no further down than the standard Triumph shield. I emailed Clearview about this and was told that there had been issues with the shields and so they no longer made them with the lower extensions. No apologies for misrepresenting the product on the product page in both photos and descriptions that clearly state the lower section is on the shield. How many companies would try to get away with advertising one thing, giving you something else, and expecting you to just accept that? Overall it’s been a disappointing experience and I wouldn’t deal with Clearview again. The shield is alright, but I’m not sure it’s better than alternatives out there from companies that care more about customer service and don’t misrepresent their products. I’ll be interested to see if this review is posted, or if it will just have to go up on other review sites.
