1981 GPz1100 windscreen question
07 Sep 2024 13:51
Does anyone know of a company/person that fabricates acrylic/polycarbonate windscreens for fairings? I have a fairing that was designed to fir a KZ1100-b1 (AKA 1981 GPz1100). It is a very unique fairing that only fits this single model but it is currently missing the windscreen. I do have a complete windscreen that could be copied, presumably.

I think Maier makes replacement windscreens for the GPZ fairing as well as copies. Dennis Kirk is where I saw them.

Yes Maier makes a replacement screen for the KZ1100-b2 fairing, but not for the KZ1100-b1...which may have to be custom made...which is what I'm interested in.

I believe your initial assumption is incorrect: this is not a one-year part.
Here is the Partzilla fitment listing for the fairing itself:
Here is the Partzilla fitment listing for the windscreen:
The same part should fit both the '81 and the '82 GPz1100.

Note that the fairing was available only as an accessory and that it is very different from the 1982 faring (which was standard on all KZ1100-B2). It was not available as a showroom standard part for the 1981 KZ1100-B1. Note also that it does not have a Kawasaki part number, but rather an accessory part number. Partzilla is in error...the windscreens are very different.

What is wrong with the screen in the picture ? (scratches can be polished out)

Wookie...there is nothing wrong with the screen in the photo...I have another KZ1100-B1 fairing body missing a screen...and that is what I am chasing.

I hate to ask the obvious, but did you do an internet search for Custom Motorcycle Windscreens or something like that.
There seems to be several companies that do this.

Not sure how bad you want this or what a custom screen would cost, however according to Partzilla the part number supersedes to K46000-153A (for a complete fairing) and they are showing stock ??
