Zero Gravity Windscreen Heights on a 2G...
« on: February 21, 2006, 09:14:34 PM »
Hopefully someone can help me out here...can anyone get me a measurement for either the ZG DB or ST windscreens on a 2G Bandit? To make sure were "apples to apples", measure from the top lip, straight down to the black braket which holds the front fairing assembly. Make sure the ruler is perpendicular to the ground (straight up and down).

For example, I have the 2" taller Suzuki windscreen and it is about 16 3/4" from top lip to bracket.

Thanks in advance.

I can do this for you tonight, if no one else does it first.  I'll post it tomorrow.  In the meantime, you can sort of tell how tall the ZG ST is in this pic by comparing it's height to the mirror tops...



The bike is standing almost perfectly straight up due to road slant by the curb...would barely balance on the kickstand.

None of my business, maybe, but if you get the ZG ST, then be sure to buy a small tube of clear silicone sealer and apply a thin bead to the front and back of the new windshield flanges, or you're gonna have a very annoying buzzing.  With the bead it's dead silent.  FYI.

I can't really offer you any measurements right this second, but I can offer you some comparison pics.

I'm not sure which brand I have, but it has Bandit on the bottom rather than Suzuki. No other markings. I measure 19 3/8 from top to bracket.
Any idea which maker puts bandit on the windshield?

I think that's the Suzuki Accessory screen.

And the answer is 17 1/4 inches for the ZG Sport Touring.

Sounds right...someone else on another meg. board said 17 3/8. Probably will vary a fraction depending on the measurement method and exact spot chosen. Sounds like the ST has more of an upright angle too.

Thanks for everyone's help.
