The ZXMOTO 500RR — ZXMOTO's inline-four supersport in the ~470 cc class with a strongly track-oriented design language — responds well to bodywork upgrades. A handful of bolt-on fairing parts transform the bike's profile from stock to race-day, and unlike engine modifications, they are reversible, affordable, and don't require a dyno to justify.
This guide walks through each bodywork part in our ZXMOTO 500RR parts collection, what it changes, and how to choose between the finish options.
ZXMOTO 500RR Shark Fin Side Panel
The ZXMOTO 500RR Shark Fin Side Panel is the signature visual upgrade for the 500RR. It replaces the standard side panel with an OEM-style fit shark fin detail that adds a race-inspired edge along the bike's flank.
- Precise OEM-style fit for the ZXMOTO 500RR
- 3 color options: Black, Red, and White
- Lightweight and durable construction
- Bolt-on install
If you only do one bodywork change on the 500RR, this is the one with the biggest visual impact.
ZXMOTO 500RR Tank Cover
The ZXMOTO 500RR Tank Cover sits over the stock tank for a precision fit, protecting the paint underneath while changing the bike's center of visual mass. It has the widest color range of the bodywork line:
- 5 colors: Black, White, Fluorescent Green, Fluorescent Pink, and Lava Red
- Lightweight, durable construction
- Great way to reskin a scuffed tank without repainting
The fluorescent finishes pair especially well with the shark fin for a full race-team look.
ZXMOTO 500RR Seat Cowl
The ZXMOTO 500RR Seat Cowl replaces the pillion setup with a clean single-seat race tail. It is available in 4 colors — Black, White, Fluorescent Green, and Red — and installs directly on the stock tail section.
ZXMOTO 500RR Short Tail
The ZXMOTO 500RR Short Tail tightens the rear-end profile. It comes in two versions, and the choice matters more than any color decision:
- Fixed — a permanent, race-ready tail section; the cleanest look
- Foldable — folds out of the way when parked or on the track, keeps a bit more everyday practicality
Track riders usually pick Fixed; street riders who need plate and light access on some setups tend to prefer Foldable. Check what your local requirements are before choosing.
ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield
Not every upgrade is about looks. The ZXMOTO 500RR Tall Windshield raises the screen height to deflect more wind and turbulence — a genuine comfort upgrade for long-distance and high-speed riding. It uses high-strength acrylic that is impact-resistant and UV-protected, and it is the most frequently clicked product page in our 500RR catalog for a reason.
Suggested combinations
| Goal | Combination |
|---|---|
| Track-day look | Shark fin side panel + Fixed short tail + seat cowl |
| Full color-matched build | Tank cover + seat cowl + shark fin in matching finishes |
| Sport touring comfort | Tall windshield + tank cover |
All five parts install on stock mounting points with basic hand tools; the shark fin and tank cover take the most care with alignment. Confirm your model year before ordering — we are happy to verify fitment if you send us your bike details.
Frequently asked questions
Are these official ZXMOTO OEM parts?
They are aftermarket parts designed and precision-fit for the ZXMOTO 500RR, not official OEM replacements. Where a part is an aftermarket replacement rather than a styling overlay — such as the seat cowl — we say so on the product page.
Do I need to paint them?
No. Every part ships finished in the colors listed on its product page, so you can mix and match without paint work.
Where do I see everything for the 500RR?
Start with the ZXMOTO 500RR parts collection and the broader Body & Fairing Parts collection.
