Kawasaki Z900RS - 3 Inexpensive, Quick & Easy Mods Reviewed | PYRAMID PLASTICS | PUIG Hi-Tech Parts

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- Pyramid Plastics sent me 3 custom mods to fit to my Kawasaki Z900RS. I unbox, install, and review the colour-matched items. There's no pressure; I give my honest opinion of the quality, fit, finish and ease of installation of these 3 additions to the Kawasaki Z900RS. While Pyramid Plastics do their own custom parts for hundreds of bikes, they also offer items by Puig and Ermax. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Lovely bike,add a tail tidy and a black seat and it will look awesome!!!!
Done: th-cam.com/video/EAJQuG4XvBw/w-d-xo.html
Very nice looking hugger and cap covers, but I do prefer the previous wind screen as well
Same here!
Great mods!
Thanks, I've been looking at the hugger and screen. Think i'll spring for them.
Great products, Thanks...
I feel the hugger in Flat black for me.
Great update! 58k miles on my '18.
Excellent videos!!
Please post more content!!
❤
Hugger looks really good. High quality looking product. Makes you wonder why Kawi didn't go the few extra inches for the obvious difference that's going to make keeping grunge off your bike.
Thanks, Sludgy. As for short huggers, it's all about fashion and convenience: I suspect they had the OEM one in the parts bin from some other model...Was at the Rusted Rake yesterday sipping on a "wandering scottsman spruce tipped ale". Thought of you. Cheers!
Well done with an honest opinion. thanks I enjoy your videos!
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Cheers.
Well done video, but you forgot one thing: you gotta crank the bike and rev it a few times. :) Always. We live for the ride.
Good call!
Thx for sharing pyramid
No worries. Cheers.
Beautiful Griso
I did everything as you did in the installation of the windscreen, but after the installation, I can push the windscreen forward with my hand, do you think it is normal?
Hugger and caps great, like my yellow ball without screen. 😊
Man, that's a beautiful bike.
Cheers. It's great when a bike makes you feel good even when it's on the side stand.
Off-topic, but SO glad you still have the beautiful Griso. I’d like a V100, but already have a BMW R1200 RS for touring. One day I’ll get a Guzzi, the next one they do will be a new Stelvio - that may be the one, if not too tall. Good vid - the Z900RS looks great.
Thanks. Neither the Guzzi Griso or Z900RS will be leaving, they're such great bikes, even for a v100. The Vstrom, on the other hand...hmmm!
Hi looks a real ripper now . :)
Rolley
Cheers, Rolley.
The price of the windscreen is excellent and the hugger is a must have. Did you do a test drive of the new screen, I didn't hear that you did but maybe I missed it. Thanks for the video on one of my all time favorite bikes. Have a great weekend.
Haven't test ridden it yet, but will do, certainly, although I think the impact on air flow will be negligable above the naval. Cheers.
I fitted a pyramid hugger and find it a bit too flexible on the back end and just rest on the Swinging Arm will be modifying it myself to make a better fit I contacted pyramid company and they said he was fine to them so people just look at other before you make up your mind
Aesthetically your original screen is better. It fits with overall feel of the bike. The Puig, although maybe excellent function wise, doesn’t seem to “go” with the overall look.
Cheers.
Agree, although some owners of the more colourful models have shown me their colour-matched puig screens, and they look very good. But, yet, on my bike, the Chick is my personal favourite too. Cheers.
The hugger looks awesome but that flyscreen is an eyesore in my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback. Agree on my bike. Some of the colour matched flysreens on the coloured Zs seem to work better.
Awesome video, thanks! The silver bits (heel guard, side panels, radiator side cover, front fender bracket covers) on the Z900RS drive me crazy! They match nothing else on the bike and always stand out to me, they should be black or chrome. It would be great if Pyramid would make replacement parts for these as well?
Probably not, as Pyramid are mainly plastic, although it's a good call. You have two choices though: one paint them, or two www.motocomposites.com/products/radiator-covers-in-carbon-with-fiberglass-for-kawasaki-z900rs-2017-2019.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAi8KfBhCuARIsADp-A57WQyeutjpu5E4sEIbonG4Pco3bPwiZZqE7Tl-RDay2naaOS-m2GUoaAssXEALw_wcB
Cheers.
Having watched your previous AWESOME clip on the Chic fairing I ordered one - due to serious bubble head over 110km/h. Waited the painstaking 5 mths - great improvement up to 160 km/h; although noticed the wind not necessarily affecting my helmet but - as I think you noted - hitting me in the chest. I have subsequently added a matt black plastic 'defuser' to the top of the Chic fairing. Gone are the classic looks toward more urban industrial - but the wind protection . . . 170+ (excuse the pun) without a breeze! For that reason I would probably shy away from the Puig.
Great to hear, Jasper. I love mine for sure.
Can you add a link to the diffuser you added?
*How many motorcycle jackets is enough motorcycle jackets? This garage says there's never enough motorcycle jackets.* LOL
Isn't that the truth!
Hi BMR, I see you're a Saints fan when in the UK! 😉
I think Puig is pronounced 'Pweeg' as they're Italian. Good kit, I've had a couple of their flyscreens.
I'll catch up with you when you work on the Griso updates, looking forward to that, we can swap notes!
Yes, looking forward to delving into the Griso, who is waiting patiently for her attention. Cheers.
Would you mind elaborating on the beautiful seatt you have on your bike? Please let us know where and how you got it? Many thanks!
Hi, Al: it is a Luimito seat cover. th-cam.com/video/Kt4AuTZZyI8/w-d-xo.html
That seat looks great! Wasn't convinced when I watched the install video but really does look good. Only had my bike for a few weeks and loving it apart from the seat comfort. Does this seat cover add any comfort? I wonder if adding it to the original rather than replacing the original would add comfort.
The hugger looks awesome but I'll be sticking with my own custom-made cap covers (a couple of screwtop wine bottle caps stuffed over the top of the with double-sided velcro tape - quality!).
Keep up the good work on the vids.
I wouldn't say the seat cover adds much comfort. Saw an interesting and highly subjective seat the other day - certainly comfortable, but the looks depend on your perspective. It's a Bagster seat, with Bultex foam. If you are a member of the Z900RS forum (easy and free), then take a look at this: www.z900rs.co.uk/index.php/topic,1818.msg29072.html#msg29072
Cheers BMR
Damn that looks comfortable. Tough one though cos I really like the lines of the stock seat, but it is a pain in the... (literally).@@BlueMarbleRider
What is the manufacturer / model of the windscreen you removed?
It's a puig vision flyscreen. Cheers.
Hi,I am from UAE ,do have any plans to sell the old parts pls let me know
Hi, Sundeep, I'm not sure the price of postage would make it worth your while (Canadian postage rates are astronomical). I will likely keep my original Chic Fairing and sell on the OEM Hugger and the pyramid/puig handlebar fairing. Cheers.
What brand of seat is that?
It's a luimoto seat cover. Frustrating process...video here: th-cam.com/video/Kt4AuTZZyI8/w-d-xo.html
I would have kept the original Kawasaki cowl, considering they sell it for over $700.
I still have it: yours for 699 :-)
Much prefer the bikini fairing than the screen.
Good to know. Cheers.
May I ask your age? I’m 55 and wondering how much longer I have to ride.
58 - keep riding! I don't intend to stop until I'm unable to swing a leg over. I do a lot of physical exercise to keep me fit - partially because I like it, and partially because if I want to continue to ride off road, I need to stay in good shape for safety sake. Cheers.
@@BlueMarbleRider thank you for reply you are an inspiration for me to keep going-- Godspeed !!!
I'm 76 and still riding every day. I will stop when I change my mind. I do live in the South of France. With the roads & weather in the UK, I don't know.
@@frankstocker5475 I'm envious, Frank!
pronounced pweeg
Hello ,Pyramid fly screen for Trident 660 Triumph ?
I would guess that is likely available.
