Kappa launched a range of flyscreens and windshields last year, including their minimalist new ‘100ALK’ design in aluminium. The company has now added to the range with this new ‘140’ version – a slightly larger design, using more standard materials, but retaining the look of the smaller original design.
The protective surface is made of Plexiglass, measuring 35 x 41 cm (H x L) and its main design characteristic is a slightly angled, bevelled shape, highlighted by the moulding.
Available in clear or smoke, the screen is universal as it can be fitted to any bike using Kappa’s separately available model-specific installation kit. Installation of the screen does not involve any structural modifications to the motorcycle. This is the same kit used to install the 100ALK windshield, which enables riders to switch screens on the basis of looks or functionality.
Currently the kit is available for selected BMW, Moto Guzzi, Triumph and Yamaha models (XSR 900 seen here), with the fitment list being updated regularly.
Also seen here, this KS920 universal multimedia ‘Smart Clip’ fits handlebars from 8 to 35mm and can clamp to irregular profiled bars to attach a wide range and size of devices securely. Not only does it enable the rider to see the route on the Sat Nav, but it also allows obstruction-free video shooting. Constructed from a combination of materials moulded together (technopolymers and rubber, increasing the grip where the device is housed), the front is adjustable and can be rotated to provide horizontal or vertical view of the screen. Insertion and removal is also “smart”; the device is securely restrained by three claws, which can be extended using a single command. The KS920M can accommodate overall sizes from a minimum of 112 x 52 mm to a maximum of 148 x 75 mm and be used with smartphones with an overall size ranging from a minimum of 144 x 67 mm to a maximum of 178 x 90 mm.
