My wife used to laugh at me and my job a few years back...
I worked for a window and door company in northern florida... I was ALWAYS wet... from either sweat or the summer afternoon rains.
Riding here is the same.... you get wet, either sitting still or riding....humidity sux.

As far as the windscreen goes, I have been leaning towards the Slipstreamer S-06 Spitfire. Has anybody used one of these?

you'll have the devils own time making it fit with the stock drag bars
The stock suzuki screen, available from Motosport for $141, is about the same size, and mounts to the forks, giving an easier install and a sturdier mounting

I bought one off eBay. Don't even know the brand name but it was CHEAP. connected to the handlebar and was pretty straight forward. Think I paid 65 or 85 dollars for it. Shoulda bought the bigger one tho.

you have the drag bars? or the buckhorns?
2002 had bucks, stock, IIRC
Mine had the drags, and there was no room for the clamps between the master cylinder and the bend in the handlebar
I'm picky about clamps being solid, and a clamp at a bend isn't, imo

Your right Art, mine has the buckhorn bars. Drags might be another story for sure.

I't a shame they didn't leave more room there, the spitfire is a good value priced screen, I just couldn't make it work for me with the stock drags
