I fitted a Touratech Windscreen Deflector to the standard Tiger Screen. The initial findings were not perfect but the
Windscreen Deflector can be fitted or removed in seconds. It provides as much protection as my Givi touring screen ever
did. I had to modify the aluminium mounting to get the correct angle and the original perspex deflector was too small to
stop bugs hitting my visor.

I think I now have the perfect windscreen solution for a 5'8"
Tiger 1050 owner. Why is life never easy? As stated above I
modified the aluminium mounting (with an angle grinder) to
enable me to mount the deflector more upright, as supplied it
was raked back too much, probably because it was designed to
fit an upright BMW screen not a sloping screen like the Tiger.
I found that with the standard Deflector shield some bugs still
got through to my visor. I bought an A4 sheet of perspex off eBay
for £3.00 to make a larger deflector and fitted it to my Tiger. I
think this is the perfect compromise for me. The bugs now
miss my visor, I get some buffeting but no turbulence and no
direct wind blast. I can remove the Windscreen deflector in 10
seconds and refit it in 30 seconds. This allows me to ride on
the motorway in relative bug free calm and when the road gets
twisty, or the temperature gets hot, I can go back to the stock
Triumph screen. Not perfect but a good compromise. I have
since sold my Givi touring screen.
(If you are over 5'10" I suggest you keep looking elsewhere as
the my larger deflector would not be tall enough)
