Inside JD9: How Our Motorcycle Windscreens Are Made

Inside JD9: how our motorcycle windscreens are made

In the world of motorcycling, every detail matters. A windscreen is not just an accessory: it’s your first shield against the wind, a style signature that says who you are on the road, and something you can feel in every corner. At JD9, we create windscreens that move you — and protect you — from the very first sketch.

1. From design to the first cut: choosing the right materials

It all starts with the technical drawing, where we define aerodynamics, shape and angles. Here we choose the material: high-quality acrylic (plexiglass), clear or smoked, with thicknesses engineered for the perfect balance between lightness and strength. Each sheet is selected to guarantee optimal clarity, scratch resistance and mechanical stability.

2. The magic of CNC machining

Once the project is set, the acrylic sheet is secured precisely on the MDF base. The CNC machine gets to work, with sharp tools and calibrated movements: continuous cuts, smooth curves, flawless mounting points.

During cutting, small plastic chips build up, but our goal is precision. Every edge and every angle is checked. This is where our post-processing comes in too: deburring, polishing, fine finishing — all the way to final quality control.

3. Different families: why we make so many variants

Every rider has different needs. That’s why we offer dedicated collections:

  • Adventure — tall and protective windscreens for touring and off-road.
  • Touring — balanced lines designed for comfort and protection on long rides.
  • Naked — aggressive shapes, sleek design for unfaired bikes.
  • Scrambler — vintage character and modern functionality for “modern-classic” bikes.
  • Scooter — windscreens tailored for scooters, urban protection with style.
  • Sport — fairings and windscreens with a racing spirit and maximum aerodynamics.

4. Real-world advantages for riders

With a JD9 windscreen, you don’t just get a cosmetic add-on: you get real protection. More comfort at higher speeds, reduced turbulence, less fatigue — plus a distinct visual identity. And it all comes from a craft-meets-tech process where every piece is refined down to the smallest detail.

5. The JD9 vision: passion, precision, performance

Every JD9 windscreen carries our passion for motorcycles. Every curve is designed to go beyond function alone: we want emotion — a deeper connection between you and your bike. That’s why we oversee every stage, invest in machinery, and pursue continuous improvement.

If you’re looking for a windscreen that’s more than “just a visor”, dive into our collection and find your new, tailored protection.
