I am looking for a set of highway bars and a windshield for my kz650 and wondering if anyone here had any that they liked?

I have these. I would've liked the case protectors but they are rare and expensive. Don't stick out like the one I have now. I put the foot pegs on it. The windshield is smallish so it isn't effected by the wing as much.

I run the factory engine guards on my 1978-KZ650. I like them because they are close to the frame(good for aggressive riding), and they do a good job at keeping the engine case well protected. For a windshield, I use an Emgo Viper 1/4 fairing.. It does a good job at keeping the wind off of your chest, and lower torso, but only protects you up to your neck, so there is some buffeting from the windscreen. Overall, I really like the windscreen, and it keeps wind blast at 60+ mph, manageable .

I've had the Wind Jammer, 1/4 faring and one like I have now. WJ was way too heavy and the 1/4 faring was useless unless tucked in. The bike was quicker tho. The one I have now, when it rains, it really shines. :lol:
Keeps most of the bugs off too.
