The new café is what connects me to my love affair with the café look - and that is the "Mad Max" look. So that is what I bought 250 miles ago! 40+ years of riding and easily my favorite bike of all time. My long-time Harley friends of which I was, well heck, we all old and just happy to still be on two wheels.

Your instructions were invaluable - mine are in Japanese only! Simple tips like removing the grommet, which tools to get ready before starting, not over-tightening screws on the screen - everything made for an efficient and painless install - thank you!!

Changed the bike to perfect, Lowering it by two inches, lowered seat, hugger, that for me has put a completely different look to the bike, now you are sat down in the bike rather than parched on top of it,very happy bunny😘👍

100% agree with your fairing choice- by far the best looking!

That "welding helmet" wisecrack was priceless! Every time I see a Z900RS its random clutter of silver bits stand out: the front fender brackets, radiator side covers, middle trim panels, and heel guards. I think an already beautiful motorcycle could be enhanced by color-matching the entire front fender to the bike and blacking out those remaining pieces. None of those parts are inherently pretty anyway so murder 'em out.

Never thought the cafe have a lower controls.. good inputs.. lovely bike 😍👍

Appreciate you doing this video. Mine came yesterday and only had 1 page of diagrams, not the multiple sheets with photos and your install instructions are super helpful! Thank you. ❤

wow that is cool i have had mine for a little over a year with a lot of ideas on what to do seeing what you have done to yours has truly has given me a place to start please keep us updated

Thanks, this really helped! The written instructions were not so great, and I probably would’ve missed the bracket below the cowl. It was your video that convinced me to get it, and I’m SUPER happy with it. Cheers!

SO true about the bike already running warm..

Been seriously considering this as a 2nd bike, don’t like the like green color of the cafe but want some minor protection, also saw this company’s site & wasn’t sure how legit they were being over seas. Look is great & solid quality, glad to know the option exists, thanks

Put a grab rail on it too. I have. Makes it easier to move around

Thank you for the video! I bought the fairing second hand and didn't have the manual so I installed the fairing by watching your video. 👍👍👍

4-4 exhaust. As soon as I get mine. great vid, and amazing mods

Love this bike which I do not own but am shopping for one. Great video thanks. That fairing looks fantastic 👌..

Beautiful!

Really enjoyed this video and appreciate your aesthetic on the cowling. Now I want to hear what you have to say about it's practical effect. Subscribed btw.

I think this will be my next bike. Love what you've done!

Thank you for this vid : my installation was a breeze thanks to you !

I'm looking at trading my zrx1100 for one of the bikes and I had the same upgrade ideas. Then I stumbled across your channel. Great bike and great vid. 🇨🇦

Looks good👍 I put a windscreen on mine and I feel it completes it and gives it some balance.

What a great find.... love the look and overall review. On a similar topic... what brand/make riding jacket are you sporting in this video.

I bought my z900rs this past weekend, and I plan to mod it as well. I think the Chic Design fairing is probably the best one on the market. There is one on Pazoma that looks amazing, but there's no telling if it will actually fit the z900rs. Thanks for the very helpful video.

Funny, just saw your video. I did exactly the same thing on my z900rs last month. I have the 2018 root beer and orange version, got it from the same place samurider (i was on a 10 weeks waiting list) the bike looks amazing. This is definitely one of the best mod to add to a z900rs. I also went with metalic orange clutch and front brake levers, everything fit together. Great video for those buying this great fairing.

Idk, the standard one from Kawasaki looks a bit nicer for me, ties better in with the whole bike and is a bit bigger for better protection.

Great looking fairing. They are almost 500 bucks when you add shipping to the US. Very nice though.

I think you found a solution to sorta hiding that god awful radiator look and sorta blending the bike, radiator, and fairing together. Great look!

Love the fairing

I put a radiator guard on mine and there was no difference in the cooling.

That looks great!👍🏻

This looks amazing

Looks brilliant! I will be interested to know how it performs for you. Love that bike and I really DO need one. All Best from North Yorkshire.

I love it!👍👍

I don't know if you will see this post (shadow banded). My question is I do not like the fairing on the cafe, if I took it off would it look just like the standard Z900rs or is there brackets I would have to take off, or even cut off. It seems like there are a lot of used cafe's for sale and I don't want to buy one if I can't take it off and have it look like the standard. The only standard z900rs seem to be new if I can get a cafe for half the price and look almost like the other by taking off the fairing I would do it. Thanks

I hope you do a review of the fairing only thing holding me back on this fairing is because some riders report the fairing shake excessively at highway speeds

gpz style ! love it

Good taste

Motocomposites will carbon anything/everything... i only got the radiator endcaps.... so nice.

Road Comet fairing..... 🤤💗

Very sharp, well done.

How is the turning radius? Seems like the brake reservoir will hit the fairing?

I love the Kawasaki z's....something yummy about them (Lane) I'd love to mod my bike but it's a Repsol that's not produced here anymore and won't be due to our exhaust laws.....I guess I need to buy something else I can play with instead .....or rather as well as :D

Looks so good I want to buy this same color bike. I like the Z900RS Cafe but prefer the Black over the bright green. Did you order the Metallic SPARK Black or the Metallic Diablo Black for your fairing paint color?

Hi BMR, This is just stunning. Did you have to go through an inspection/approval by authorities? If yes, what docunentation did you have to provide? Was a declaration of conformity required? Did the manufacturer help with documentation? Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany, Thomas.

what a beauty!

Thanks for the vid! Which color did you buy? is that 'Metallic Diablo Black' ??

I have a 2019 Z900RS Cafe. I liked the fender extension from Powerbronze. You can barely see it on the Cafe. I'm very happy with how well it keeps the pipes free of debris. I decided to change the windscreen as well. Powerbronze offers a lime green so I purchased that as well. It looks good and has the same shape as the factory windscreen. I'm sending my ECU to Ivansperformance.com to get a reflash. I'm leaving the intake and exhaust stock for now. The ECU flash is just to give the Z900RS better rideability. Thanks for the information and ideas.

Stunning bike

It looks really good. I might get it myself if it relieves some pressure off my chest. I will be road tripping it this summer. Would this fairing help on the highway? I personally want a little more square in the design. I found one made by vertia in japan, but I think it was a one-off.

Nice video. The golden cap of the main brake fluid reservoir: where didi you get it? Thanks for the answer! Ulli from Germany.

just priced up that mudguard thing..25 quid and 50 quid postage to NZ......

Tail tidy makes a vast improvement to looks , then DeCat exhaust system - Jobs a gud un

Excellent... but, how it works in the wind?

Port doesn't change if you're looking at the front or the back.

😍😍😍

Yes the mudguard extender is good but shame on motorcycles manufacturers for not protecting the exhaust , it’s a con to make people buy the extender , when I was on bikes wow be tied Kawasaki if a proper mudguard was not fitted.

Nice video. The golden cap of the main brake fluid reservoir: where did you get it? Thanks for the answer! Ulli from Germany.

how to buy this itemmm..i like

Nice choices, by the way where did you send out for the ecu flash.

Can you put a link to where you purchased the fairing?? Thank you.

Would it not help the look of the fender extension to paint it to match?

Fine install, next time please use the tripod for your video not the chest holder, thank you.

Can this fairing be remodified to fit my xsr900?

Us dish soap on the grommet to make it easier to install!

Is that oil plug Powerbronze too?

Can you add the link of where you bought that windshield?

Hey Blue Marble, wondering if you have heard if there’s any difficulties in taking the z900 cafes front hood off and just having the single headlight like the stock rs. I prefer the color way and handle bars on the cafe but would like to remove the hood if I choose to and ride with just the single headlight look

Does it give you any wind relief at freeway speed?? I put a MRA windscreen on my Z900RS and it does help, especially around the torso, without too much turbulent air to the helmet. I hope this works for you...cause if it does, then I will certainly consider it...keep us updated!!! Love the Z900RS...best bike I have ever had

G'day BMR, I purchased the exact same fairing from Chic design for my 2007 GSX 1400 last year. The colour coding was perfect. What an incredible difference it makes!! The Kwaka 9 looks shit hot brother.

I lost two top screws because of vibration , I think . What is the type code of the screw? May I ask

RG makes a nice guard lets plenty a air thru on my concours 14. an u shoulda bought the cafe

As a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, I need to ask the following questions. 1.) What idiot decided that hacking a rear fender off a street bike that is driven in possible rain, mud, or road tar, was a good idea? I've always wanted to make the rear fender longer, and more robust. 2.) Who decided that round mufflers should be replaced by triangular poop clumps? Why is this a thing? Why is every manufacturer copying the same shitty design as everyone else? Are they intentionally ruining motorcycles? 3.) Who decided that square sharp edges look good? They have never looked good, not now, and not ever. 4.) Why does no motorcycle today except the perfect Royal Enfield GT650 have an overdrive gear? 5.) Why are gear ratios on modern motorcycles the same as they were in 1981, despite engine power increasing by 50 to 100%. 6.) Why does the Triumph Rocket have a car engine, without an overdrive gear? Why did they create a 6th gear at all? 7.) Why are modern motorcycles so ugly that they are putrid and morbid, with square hard angles, and triangle blobs for mufflers, with nearly invisible hidden headlights that are almost totally obfuscated among the rancid 1980's bodywork? Why? 8.) How come the only nice looking motorcycles on the market right now are the Z900RS, the Yamaha R3, the Royal Enfield (all of them), the W800, and all the cruisers. How come every sportbike, sport touring, and street fighter bike, looks like it was drawn by a person who has never seen a motorcycle before? 9.) Why is Royal Enfield the only company building EXACTLY what people want? Hint: Low price, overdrive gear, counterbalanced engine, beautiful solid colors and no ugly graphics, and beautiful round mufflers! 10.) Why don't the major manufacturers listen to consumers? Are the major companies even run by Humans? I say no. #reptilians #alienspaceships

Est ce que Kawasaki va mofifier où arrêter la Z900RS pour 2021 ?

Nice vids, if you had to keep ne bike , would you keep the Z or the vstrom?

where are you located?

Gunna

Can I buy this in Color Green/Black ?

How did it perform ?

Don't take me seriously, I was kidding. I'm 62 and its been many years since I had a motor bike.

Don't find sami rider website... 🤷‍♂️

Couldn't see anything

Get yourself a Denali horn.... First of first... F that stock horn!

Great video but not a fan. Looks like it needs a haircut.

cafe mod is so ugly for me

I just don’t get it, you guys whined and complained about all the plastics on a Sportbike, and wanted a naked bikes. But here we are in adding plastics.

I'm going to sound like an A-hole, but I disagree with your reasons for not going for the Cafe model. First, the Z900RS Cafe is not really a real Cafe racer bike like the Triumph Thruxton. The handle bars are not low enough and the riding position is almost identical to the regular RS model, meaning, it's upright with just a slight leaning. Second, the look of your bike after the installation of the bikini fairing is almost the same as the RS Cafe model, seriously, they look extremely similar. And third, the height difference between the regular RS and the Cafe model is hardly noticeable. The handle bars height, yes, you can kind of notice, but the height difference between the two bikes is pretty much meaningless. They're like 20 mm from each other. Again, not trying to be an A-hole, but you said you didn't want a Cafe model, but then, made your bike to look like the Cafe model. That kind of confused me. Anyway, it's your bike, so obviously you're free to do as you please, and it looks pretty bad ass. You did a fantastic job. For the record, I own a 2020 Cafe with the Green, white and black color like the one at 3:58, and tested a regular RS model at the dealership. I got to say, I just love riding this bike. More than once people have looked at me at the traffic light and gave me a thumbs up after looking at my RS Cafe. Safe riding, my friend.

The ideal of a naked bike is the air that hits you is clean , I just can’t understand people like you , your not a biker in the true sense of the word

Can’t believe you want to fit a fairing , it supposed to be a nacked bike , why did you buy it , you should’ve bought a faired bike. Don’t understand you people who do this afraid of a little wind 👎👎👎

Take that fairing off your no longer riding a naked bike , how can you show off those beautiful clocks Kawasaki designed now you’ve covered them with a weak fairing , horrible , horrible 👎👎👎😡

Well you’ve turned a beautiful looking bike into a cafe racer and it looks horrible , why on earth did you buy a naked bike 👎👎👎👎😩😩
