The component refers to a set of body panels designed specifically for the 2017 model year of the Kawasaki Ninja 650 motorcycle. This set typically includes the front fairing (nose), side fairings, and possibly other smaller trim pieces designed to provide aerodynamic efficiency and aesthetic appeal. These kits are often composed of ABS plastic or similar durable materials designed to withstand road conditions and minor impacts.
These body panel sets serve several important purposes. They provide protection for internal components of the motorcycle, improve airflow around the rider and machine, contributing to stability and reduced wind resistance. Furthermore, they significantly contribute to the motorcycle’s overall visual appearance, allowing owners to personalize their bike with different colors, graphics, or even modified designs. Historically, such kits were primarily intended for repair following accidents, but they have evolved into a common upgrade path for enthusiasts seeking performance or aesthetic enhancements.
