I have own my new 06 Sprint for about three months now and my wife is complaining about she is sitting too high because on the Freeway the wind is really hitting her hard. My wife is only five feet tall, and I am five nine. I have the taller wind screen install. Are there any other owners here getting the same complain from their passager?  Smile

On my 2003 Sprint put a taller wind screen on think a 14" and it dumps all the wind directly to your helmet. Need to have ear plugs when riding. The stock wind screen kind of broke the wind up over your body and helmet not as sever as the taller one. Don't change back to the stock because it all scratched up. Something to consider.

Prolly the taller screen. My girl is 5' 3" and doesn't have a problem with the stock screen. She gets a little more buffeting with the Laminar Lip installed though.

My girl didn't like the wind back there either, and I'm a widebody 6'2".  I have the "aero" screen on my 06, which is the stock screen on the new Sprints, but not the tallest one Triumph makes.

Triumph's tallest screen is freakin' ugly.

Do what I did- get your girl her own bike- then it's a moot point. Thumbsup

My wife complained about the same thing until I added the higher 07 bars which put me up a tad  higher,  I guess I block the wind enough now, making her happy as a peach on the back
