FAQs

Will this screen fit my 2017 Kawasaki Z1000SX?

No, this specific Airblade Double Bubble Screen is designed only for the 2011-2016 model years of the Kawasaki Z1000SX. Please check for other compatible models.

How does the 'Double Bubble' design improve performance?

The raised profile of the double bubble design is engineered to lift and smooth the airflow over the rider's helmet, reducing drag and buffeting, which leads to increased comfort and stability.

Is the dark smoke tint street legal everywhere?

Tint levels and legality can vary by region. While this screen provides a smoked finish, it is recommended to check local regulations regarding tinted windscreens for motorcycles.

What material is the screen made from?

The screen is made from high-quality, shatterproof, and shock-resistant materials designed to withstand impacts and maintain rigidity.

Do I need special tools to install this screen?

Typically, standard motorcycle tools like screwdrivers and wrenches are sufficient. However, specific models might require particular sizes, so having a basic toolkit is advisable.

Can I install this screen myself?

Yes, with basic mechanical skills and tools, self-installation is often possible. If you are unsure, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended.

How durable is the smoked finish?

The dark smoke finish is integrated into the material and is designed to be durable under normal riding conditions. Proper care will help maintain its appearance.

Troubleshooting

Screen does not align perfectly with mounting points.

Loosen mounting bolts slightly, adjust the screen into the desired position, and then retighten all bolts securely. Minor adjustments to the bracket holes might be needed.

Wind noise persists after installation.

Ensure the screen is tightened correctly and that no gaps exist around the mounting points. Check for any aftermarket accessories that might be interfering with airflow.

Screen appears cloudy or streaky after cleaning.

Ensure you are using a non-abrasive cleaner and a clean microfiber cloth. Residue from cleaning agents can cause streaking; rinse thoroughly with clean water before drying.
