Preparation
1. The only thing with Peter Stevens is that they don't provide any fitting instructions with any of their stuff so you have to download your own from http://www.triumphinstructions.com/default.aspx.To download the instructions on this site, you must have the Triumph part number. The part number on each of the parts supplied with the screen are all different and none are recognised by the "instructions" website. After more searching on the web, I found one that worked - the part number is "A9708248". This allows you to download the PDF of instructions but you can get them here to save you the trouble I had.
2. The instructions are really good and easy to follow so I'll just add a few bits that I learnt and give you the photos I took.
3. Tools needed:
- 1 x 5mm Allen key
- 1 x 8mm ring/open end spanner
- 1 x T30 Torx key
4. Time - takes about 30 minutes at a leisurely pace to take photos along the way.
Installation
I just laid out all the parts as on page 1 of the instructions and took it step by step. The only minor differences I found were:
1. You need a T30 Torx key to undo the lower bolt for the brackets - "why?" you might ask. This isn't mentioned in the instructions. All the other bolts are Allen key bolts.
2. Steps 13, 14, and 15 can be ignored. The dome nut that is supplied does not cover all the threads of the adjuster bolt so I didn't use it. I just used a 10mm nut on each side that I had at home.
3. I adjusted the screen to the highest setting and it seems to be significantly higher than the original. I'll let you know how it goes. I'd really like it to tip the wind over my head.

Just had the first ride on the motorway - it is much better at tipping the wind. It now hits the top of the helmet and things are much quieter. It could be a little wider but maybe I'm just too wide!
Windscreens are the primary protection that any motorist should have.
