Windscreen choices include their new generation Sport and Touring windscreens in 3 mm PMMA (methacrylate), a material that is said to guarantee high resistance to possible impacts and "provides a great aerodynamic capacity, being insurmountable against the wind. "The product has been tested in the wind tunnel, achieving the best results, and we supply the test results with the product. Available in a range of tints and colours, we have model-specific fitments for the Z650 and a range for other popular models. Puig screens are TÜV approved and come with an ABE certificate."

Manufactured in impact resistant ABS, the designs protect against impacts and the weather. Puig levers are well known for their quality design, construction and materials, and while the company still offers its version 2.0 levers (themselves an evolution of their v 1.0 design), the hot news is of their new version 3.0 upgrade, featuring ergonomic Touring windshield 34 INTERNATIONAL DEALER NEWS - AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2020 Naked new generation sport windshield 3.0 levers improvements and a more modern and aggressive styling. With a weight of 100 g, the fixed version measures 160 mm, the short 129 mm, and the folding between 133 and 153 mm. "The new shape of the levers allows for a perfect handle, which will guarantee greater grip, comfort and accessibility." There are seven different colours available in four different styles: folding, fixed, short and extendable folding. They are an easy install with a model-specific hardware set available. By not limiting its design work to compatibility with the OEM fittings, Puig has been able to radically improve the ergonomics and safety offered by these new levers. The brake lever protector features a twoway adjustable system for the protector, longitudinal and perpendicular to the grip. It is CNC-machined from billet aluminium and then anodised to provide protection and colour. There is a universal version that allows installation on the handlebars with an internal diameter of 13 to 18 mm without the need for an adapter, but Puig also has specific adapters for motorcycles that require it - clutch-side counterweight also available. Additional model-specific and universal options available for the Z650 (and Z900) include a wide range of footpeg options, including 'Racing', sport, retro, streetfighter and Enduro style (seen here); a massive selection of rear view mirror choices (the GTI is seen here); protectors (including frame sliders and front fork protectors), grips, spools, indicators, spoilers and more.
