Who it is perfect for

For those who own a custom bike and want to reduce wind pressure on their chest during long rides without turning the bike into a touring model. The low version leaves the handlebars and headlight visible, can be removed in minutes for city riding, and its transparency doesn't alter the bike's lines. It is the accessory that instantly extends the comfort range of a Virago or a Shadow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the fittings included?
No. The 23A is just the transparent screen: the fitting kit is a separate item and varies from bike to bike. For almost all models, you need the AS100A2K, for the Honda VT Shadow 750, the AS121A2K, and for the Yamaha XV 1100 Virago, the AS99A2. Write to us with your bike model.

Does it fit my Kawasaki VN900?
Only on the Custom version, from 2006 to 2026. The Kappa catalog does not list it for the VN900 Classic because the headlight and handlebar mounts are different. If you have the Classic, send us the chassis number and we will indicate the right windshield for your model.

How big is it and how much protection does it provide?
It measures 38.8 cm in height by 41 cm in width: it is the low version of the range. It protects the chest and abdomen while leaving the head exposed to the airflow, which is what is needed on a custom bike to maintain its low-profile look.

What material is it made of?
Kappa does not declare the screen material in the catalog for this code, so we do not list it: we prefer less data to incorrect data. If you need it for homologation or for specific polishing, ask us and we will check directly with the manufacturer.

Is it the same as the Givi version?
Kappa Moto is a brand of the Givi S.p.A. group, and the corresponding screen under the Givi brand is the A23, with AS100A2 fittings instead of AS100A2K. Only the branding and price change, not the size or the mounting type.

How can I be sure it's the right one?
Check the model and year in the compatibility table above and verify which fitting kit you need. If your year is at the limit of a range, send us your chassis number: we will verify it in the official catalog before you order.
