Kawasaki EX500 / GPZ 500 Windshield Nut & Washer

thingiverse

This is the windshield nut (and washer) for the Kawasaki EX 500 - built from 1987 to 2009. Apparently, spare parts for this motorcycle are no longer manufactured (or extremely hard to find).\r\n\r\nRepairing my bike I lost all the windshield nuts and washers, except one. I tried searching online and asking at Kawasaki retailers but didn't get any luck, so I took matters into my own hands and designed it, and here it is.\r\n\r\nOn the uploaded photo you can see the printed part on the left and the original on the right.\r\n\r\nPersonally tested on my bike, works perfectly and holds the windshield as securely as the original part. The internal part of the nut is threaded but is easily threaded by the bolt when you screw it in. Printed, installed, rode my bike and had no issues at all.\r\n\r\nPrinted using PLA at 100% infill, 0.20 layer height and 20mms speed.
