WRS windscreens - Husqvarna Norden 901
In the last edition of IDN we featured the new Ducati Diavel V4 windscreens manufactured in Italy by Tavullia ( PU ) specialist WRS . Since then , its prolific new application programme has moved on to the torquey 889 cc parallel twin Husqvarna Norden 901 adventure touring models ( 2022-2023 ). Built around the platform of a lightweight steel trellis frame , it has forged a reputation as a versatile and capable long-distance travel machine , but with that versatility comes a requirement for a very well designed and equally multi-purpose windscreen . Enter WRS , with a range of solutions for differing riding styles and requirements . Made using high quality DOT626 approved , 4 mm thick PMMA plexiglass , WRS says its screens are easy to assemble and install using the original fairing
Caponord , Smoked
Touring , Dark Smoked
Enduro , transparent
mounts and hardware . Its aerodynamic and sporty looking ' Enduro ' version is 7.5 cm lower than the factory design ( available in clear , dark smoked , glossy or matt black ), with a ' Touring ' version that is 7.5 cm higher ( clear , smoked or dark smoked ) and ' Caponord ' style ( clear or smoked ) that is 14 cm higher . Install kits are included , with all necessary hardware . Additional recent new windscreen design applications available from WRS include the Kawasaki Z 1000 SX ( available in 2017-2020 and the 2021-2023 ' Ninja ' versions ), the 2023 Honda XL 750 Transalp and Suzuki 650 XT V-Strom . " All our windscreens are made following the strictest design standards in terms of safety , materials quality and manufacturing precision to guarantee the maximum possible resistance , transparency , safety and durability ," says Sales Manager Michele Maresi . " Our windscreens will remove the slight visual distortion present in the original windshield and decrease the turbulence on the helmet and on the shoulders . The designs of our three options for the Norden 901 have been researched in detail to fit perfectly and complement the lines of the bike ." WRS ' credentials as a windscreen manufacturer are , literally , ' race bred ' - it is a technical partner for Team BMW Motorrad in WSBK and Pramac Ducati in MotoGP , among others .
