[timboellis]

Just got a Bandit 600 1998 however missing a clock first off anyone suggest a way of getting a clock of some firm on the bandit preminantly or suggest where i can geta little digital clock and if it is possible to stick it somwwhere or is there add on?

Also as the bike is naked found it a bit much coming back up[ the road with a headwind, i see there are little fairings / cowels to go round the headlight do this do much or no point?

There are a number of clocks for motorcycles on the M&P website, and as for the fairing you are after there is something called a 'fly screen' which goes around and above your headlight.

Are these fly screen up to much will they take some of the wind of me?

[TimNorwich]

In over a year of owning the Hornet I only took the fly screen off for the last week of ownership, it felt a little more windy but not a massive difference.

Not sure if the fact I'm 6'3 changed it's effectiveness. Will have to wait and hear other peoples views on them.

Well seen the clocks from the website looks like thats what i need small digital one.

THe fly screen not convinced it will work and not too happy to put one on as like the bike as it is

I added a puig flyscreen to my xjr1300. It did help slightly when riding on motorway/dual carriageway but barely noticeable elsewhere.

I quite liked the look of it though

Quick solution for a clock is old digital watch (or analogue!), velcro strap and attach to bars.

Downside is can't see it in the dark. This would be true of aftermarket though unless wired into bike electrics for backlight (or damn big button to push with gloves on).
