I have just returned from a 200 od mile trip to london and back and was wondering would it be worth while getting a screen for my bandit as it dont half get windy at 90+ and now my neck and shoulders are suffering, I want to buy a screen but don't know which one offers most protection any ideas, I was gonna try and get bandit s fairing and put it on but I dont know cheers

Unless its a huge screen, its not going to cut down on wind alot at low speeds. but at high speed, even something small can be effective.

I would be cautious about aftermarket screens for bandits. They may look good but speaking from experience they can cause the front to shake a bit at speed especially when closing the throttle to slow down.
Took my bandit to umpteen places to find out why the front vibrated when shutting the throttle down. The info given was bent this, out of line that and in the end the simple removal of the screen cured all.

Just thought this info may help
