Sun screen for the inner fairing???

I don't normally care about this type of thing because, well, it's a motorcycle and my 09 has a painted inner fairing so it will be hard for it to fade or get damaged from the sun. My new 24 however is not a painted inner fairing and has a computer screen in it that I'm a little concerned about. When I ride to work there is no safe place to park the bike that isn't in the direct sunlight until the sun actually sets. My main concern is the computer screen dash board. Does anyone know of anyone that makes something that can be used to put over the inner fairing to help block the direct sunlight? There is one spot I can park the bike but there is heavy truck traffic in and out of the area all day and night and I don't really want to chance anything happening to my bike as there has been instances of trucks hitting things there. I'm looking for a cover of some sort. Anybody have any ideas?

Just a fairing cover ? Half cover for the whole bike?
I have a dowco that stores into it's own pouch I used on my other bikes. It was designed for an Ultra so it was a little big on the 12 custom when I used it on that.

I've seen a few of these out in the wild also and they seem to be very good quality.

My main concern is basically just the electronic dash/infotainment system. I can't imagine the sun and heat will be good in the longterm. Eventually I want to either paint the inner fairing or swap it for the painted inner anyway so I'm not too concerned about that fading. That would just give me the excuses I need to get the inner painted lol

I normally wouldn't have given it much thought myself. I rode to work today and was unreasonably warm and the sun was bright. I walk by the bike several times a day and it just kinda came to me. I'm sweating my ass off all day working in and out of the shop and thought about the sun beating down on the screen all day long. It got me thinking

You looking for a sun shield like you put up on the inside of your windshield but for the head unit?
You could go as cheap as cutting a piece of cardboard so it has to bend to fit in there, that way it will stay.

Use a couple small suction cups and velcro a piece of material to it. suction cup to the screen

Just quick ideas
