Updated September 2026. The ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield is a replacement windshield shaped specifically for the ZX-500RR. It adds height and a sportier bubble profile compared to the stock screen, which can be useful for street riding, highway commuting, and track days where you spend time tucked behind the bars. The part is listed for the ZX-500RR platform only and is not cross-compatible with the 450SR or 675SR. Confirm the exact year range and fairing details on the product page before ordering.
Does this ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield fit the ZX-500RR?
The ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield is designed for the ZX-500RR platform. It replaces the factory windshield and follows the same upper fairing outline, using the stock mounting points. We do not list this SKU for the 450SR, 675SR, or other models. Verify the year range on the live product page before buying.
Is the ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield bolt-on on the ZX-500RR?
The ZX-500RR uses threaded inserts and rubber well-nuts in the upper fairing to hold the stock windshield. The ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield appears to use those same points, making it a direct replacement. Treat installation as unverified bolt-on until the PDP confirms hardware and fastener sizes. Reuse only confirmed stock fasteners if hardware is missing.
How do you choose this racing screen vs the stock screen for the ZX-500RR?
The stock ZX-500RR screen keeps the factory line and suits upright riding around town. The ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield raises the profile and adds a pronounced bubble, moving airflow higher to reduce chest pressure. Choose it for highway runs, track days, or less helmet buffet.

What is this ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield like on the highway or a track day?
On the ZX-500RR, the taller racing screen places more polycarbonate in front of the rider. On the highway, it can create a calmer pocket of air around the torso and reduce fatigue. On track days, the extra height supports a more protected tuck. Exact wind noise and buffeting depend on rider height, helmet shape, and posture.
How do you care for the ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield on the ZX-500RR?
Rinse the ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield on your ZX-500RR with plain water first to lift dust and insects. Wash with mild soap and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, paper towels, and abrasive pads. Dry the screen after washing, and park out of direct sunlight when possible.
ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield FAQ for the ZX-500RR
Does the ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield fit any bike besides the ZX-500RR?
No. This SKU is intended for the ZX-500RR only. It is not listed for the CF 450SR or CF 675SR, and it should not be assumed to fit other Kawasaki or CFMOTO models. The fairing shape, mounting spacing, and hole pattern are specific to the ZX-500RR platform.
Is this a genuine Kawasaki windshield?
No. ZXMOTO is an aftermarket brand, so this is not a factory Kawasaki part. The shape may resemble the OEM-style racing screen, but it is produced independently. If you need a genuine replacement, order from a Kawasaki dealer using your VIN.
Will the tall screen change wind noise on the ZX-500RR?
Yes. The taller profile redirects airflow higher than the stock screen. Most riders notice less chest wind and a different helmet noise character, but results vary with rider height, helmet shape, and whether you ride upright or tucked.
Can I install the ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield with basic hand tools?
If the product page confirms reuse of the stock fasteners, a basic metric tool set is enough to remove the old screen and fit the new one. We do not publish a torque value for this SKU, so tighten by hand until snug and recheck the fasteners after your first ride.
Does this windshield work with other ZXMOTO 500RR bodywork parts?
Yes. It can be fitted alongside the ZXMOTO 500RR Seat Cowl, ZXMOTO 500RR Shark Fin Side Panel, ZXMOTO 500RR Short Tail, and ZXMOTO 500RR Tank Cover. The windshield mounts to the upper fairing, so it does not interfere with tank covers, tail sections, or seat cowls.
Should I choose the tall screen or keep the stock screen for commuting?
For short urban commuting, the stock screen keeps the clean factory look and adequate wind protection. The tall screen is the better choice if your commute includes sustained highway speeds or if you prefer a more tucked, sporty riding position.
Can I return the windshield if the color or finish does not match my ZX-500RR?
Return policy depends on the live product page and whether the part has been installed or scratched. Inspect the screen before mounting, and contact ISLEPARTS support if the finish is not what you expected. Do not ride with it if you plan to return it.
What should I check before a long trip with this windshield?
Confirm that all mounting fasteners are tight and that the screen does not flex excessively at speed. Carry the original tool size in your kit, and recheck the bolts at fuel stops on the first long ride after installation.
