Puig Up&Down Windscreen for Kawasaki Z650 (2017–2026)

Puig's Up&Down windscreen reframes the Kawasaki Z650's round-headlight silhouette with a design language that owes as much to café-racer heritage as it does to modern aerodynamic engineering. Formed from 3 mm high-impact acrylic and finished with Puig's characteristic rounded profile, it delivers a purposeful, coherent aesthetic while offering genuine wind protection that grows with the rider's needs.

Key Features

• Adjustable height system — two screens work in tandem to let you dial in the exact fairing height and wind protection level you require.
• 3 mm high-impact acrylic construction provides exceptional resistance to road debris, shocks, and the full range of weather conditions.
• Rounded profile finish elevates the Z650's round-headlight design while softening edges for improved rider safety.
• UV-resistant material guards against solar degradation, keeping the screen clear and warp-free over years of use.
• TÜV-compliant quality standards and DOT 1312 homologation certificate (ABE38007 approval) for road-legal confidence.
• Supplied with Puig's classic instruction booklet for a straightforward, tool-friendly installation in minutes.

Design, Finish and Heritage

Puig has been shaping windscreens for street and track machinery since the 1970s, and the Up&Down line reflects that accumulated knowledge in every detail. The rounded perimeter profile is not purely aesthetic — it eliminates sharp edges that can become hazards in a fall, a philosophy Puig has carried forward from its earliest racing screen designs. On the Z650, the screen's proportions complement the naked-fighter stance without overwhelming it, preserving the bike's lean, stripped-back character while adding a considered layer of weather protection.

Aerodynamic Performance

The dual-screen Up&Down mechanism allows the rider to increase the effective shield height when covering longer motorway miles and reduce it to a minimal café-style profile for urban riding or track days. Puig's aerodynamic testing confirms improved airflow management and enhanced stability at speed, reducing rider fatigue on extended runs without sacrificing the open-air feel that Z650 owners value.

Construction and Durability

The thermoplastic polymer base and 3 mm acrylic lamination make this one of the more robust screens in Puig's street range. Impact resistance is built in from the material specification itself, while the UV-resistant formula prevents the yellowing and micro-crazing that afflicts lesser aftermarket screens over time. At 953 g the screen adds negligible unsprung or top-end mass to the Z650's chassis balance.

Fitment and Compatibility

This windscreen is designed specifically for the Kawasaki Z650 across the full model run from 2017 to 2026. If your specific model year requires an adapted mounting solution, Puig offers a dedicated mounting kit — please check availability for your variant before ordering.

This part carries the ABE38007 approval certificate. Please review the ABE documentation carefully to confirm suitability for your motorcycle before fitting.
