Question about Yamaha xz550 vision motorcycle!?

Question

i'm currently looking at buying one of these fantastic bikes.

my question is,

i notice some of them have a plain front end, and some have the piece that includes the windsheild and covers the entire front of the bike. i don't know what this piece is called, or i would search for it.

but my question is, can you buy this piece separately and attatch it to a bike without that piece?

Answer 1

its called head cowl, bike have different versions and options when you buy it fresh from the showroom same as cars. these parts can be ordered from the factory or some after market accessories, others prepare to get models with head cowling as they serve as wind screen and for some aerodynamic purpose, some prepare the simple look for a cool city naked styling

Answer 2

You must be referring to a fairing, a color-matched plastic part that surrounds the headlight and usually has a small windshield.

If you go to the Yamaha website you should be able to access the parts fiche for your model there. I worked in M/C parts biz for more than 10 years in CA.

Good luck,
