Dear Thorsten,The last screen renewal was fitted by
professonells.Fitting windscreens is a tricky job and
the triumph is no exception. Getting a watertite seal
is not easy around the lowerparts of the
screen.Getting the stainless steel strip back again is
definitely not for the amateur, but you can leave it
out if you wish.Chris Witter has screens and new
rubbers over here in the UK and will ship for you.
These are second hand screens. I need to fit new
rubbers to both the back and front areas on my 2000
and spoke to a windscreen fitting service .they would
do both for about #60.00. The chap said to let him
know before hand and he would make sure he was on
holiday. So I dont think it is an easy job.All the
best John.
