I beg to differ on this reply. TS75519 has an adaptor plate that is
different than the early style.
I agree that the original design had an adaptor that screwed to the body
and both sides of the windscreen attached to the adaptors with Dzus
fasteners.
But then they went to the TS60000 change and removed the Brooklands style
mounting holes and Dzus quick release fasteners they do not redesign the
the windscreen stanchions. They still have the internal slot. Instead
they redesigned the adaptor removing the Dzus fastener and leaving a hole
that goes straight through for the wide head screws. The adaptor is
still there is has just become an useless appendage through evolution.
Think of it as a Triumph appendix.
