Bandit Screens Empty Bandit Screens

Have a current model Bandit 1250SA. Toying with the idea of replacing the standard screen to give me more wind protection, the current one's kindof ok but there's a fair amount of buffeting across the face at speed or when it's windy. I need a screen which will throw the wind over my helmet. There's three choices from what I can see so far:

Eagle Screens - Windlip;
Eagle Screens - Double Bubble; or
Zero Gravity - Double Bubble

Has anyone had any experience with any of these and can they recommend one or more?

Bandit Screens Empty from memory.....

Post  ohmyfj55 Tue 22 Jun 2010, 7:44 pm

hi suu kyi,

From memory, when i was last on a forum called Two Wheeled Texans (just google it) looking at all the Bandit posts/threads (of which there were many) there were quite a few discussions regarding Zero Gravity brand screens.

i would go and check it out for some thorough product review discussion.

check out Powerbronze (the Australian website) too as they have screens in a few different styles also. Probably couldn't hurt to send Clive at p-bronze Aus an email to see who has bought what regarding Bandit Screens, he is pretty helpful.

Good luck,
Nathan

This is my Zero Gravity dark tinted Double Bubble. I would like a touring screen, but don't like the look of them.
I'm about 6.4 and still get abit wind buff, but not a lot.
The screen is a lot better then the standed and looks great.

Bringing this one back up from the grave.

I just put a split in my Zero Gravity Double Bubble screen. I was putting some rubber in between the cowling and screen and heard a creak. There is now a 2 inch split. I have drilled a tiny hole in the end of the split which I hope will stop it going further. I am spewing that this has happened.

Looking through the powerbronze site I can't see that they have a flip to fit my 2002 1200?

Why are most standard screens clear ? Look so much better in a dark tint to me .

perhaps there is a reason or maybe just an over sight on their site I`d contact them & ask / if not try someone else ( eagle do a wind lip screen & I`m sure others will also ) Very Happy

Because when you are doing warp factor you can see through a clear screen when you are laying on the tank Smile

My original screen is just about stuffed after 4 years on the bike. If anyone has an OEM clear sitting in the shed doing nothing sing out as I'm keen to take this one off and have a go at painting it.

I have the Zero Gravity DB and really like it. They do do a touring screen also that is higher.

You can polish out scratches in perspex screens. Even sand them and finish with Brasso. True.

Or use toothpaste to polish out scratches too. This is true as well.
