WRS BMW F 750 GS 2018-2023 for Caponord Windscreen+Frame Kit
The WRS Caponord windscreen + frame kit, tailored specifically for the BMW F 750 GS (2018–2023), offers a compelling blend of enhanced comfort, high-quality materials, and stylish aesthetics. Below is an in-depth exploration of this upgrade—covering design, performance, installation, real-world feedback, and comparisons—to help you decide if it’s the right fit for your ride.
1. Design & Build Quality
Premium Plexiglass Construction
The windscreen is crafted from 4.5 mm-thick PMMA plexiglass, the same lightweight, durable material used in MotoGP and WSBK racing screens. It’s DOT626-approved and TÜV-certified, ensuring top-tier impact resistance and clarity
BMW-specific Frame Kit
This kit includes the BM206N aluminum small frame, a precise component engineered to support the Caponord windscreen’s taller and broader dimensions on the F 750 GS platform
Multiple Tint Options
Available in smoke or dark smoke finishes, the screen adds a sporty appearance without compromising visibility
Sleek Aesthetic Integration
Designed to harmonize with the F 750 GS’s lines, the Caponord windscreen maintains a rugged but refined look, elevating curb appeal and functionality
2. Aerodynamics & Riding Comfort
Superior Wind Protection
By extending approximately 10 cm (4 in) above the stock screen, the Caponord design significantly deflects turbulent airflow upwards and away from the rider’s chest and shoulders. Riders report reduced fatigue and less helmet buffeting—statistics backed by the material and aerodynamic design .
Ideal for Tall Riders & Touring
Individual experiences vary based on height, but many find the windscreen especially beneficial on highway rides or long-distance trips:
-
A Japanese Webike reviewer on the XL750 Transalp (comparable style & height) noted it:
“The height is +10 cm compared to OEM. The running wind passes just above the Helmet… satisfactory enough.” A Reddit F 750 GS owner commented:
-
“I have the WRS Caponord windscreen on my ‘23. It’s cheap and it works great! No buffeting around the head… Much better than the Puig and Givi imho.”
Furthermore, riders around 1.80–1.82 m tall report it clears the majority of airflow without obstructing visibility
Minimal Vibration Notice
Some reviews, such as one from Webike regarding F 650/750 GS, mentioned slight vibration at the top at highway speeds—a minor trade-off when viewed against the enhanced protection
