SW-MOTECH USA Sport Handguards
Designed from the ground up — completely in house — SW-MOTECH’s new handguards are already available for over 100 different models with more being developed as bikes rotate through the German research and development department for fitment. This hyper-specific fit is one of the advantages of the new SW-MOTECH handguards. Not settling for a clunky universal fit, the engineers have designed an elegant kit for each motorcycle that makes installation a painless process. Incorporating bar-end weights into the aluminum backbone design and an easy-to-install hinged clamp for the interior mount on two-point systems, setting up these new systems requires no special tools and takes minutes. This also results in a more inconspicuous and attractive design.
The SW-MOTECH Sport Handguards feature a sleek and simple shell design, with a strong, black, powder-coated aluminum frame. They are made from a polycarbonate shell material with a matte finish. The shells have a slight flex to improve durability.
ProTaper Titanium Footpegs
ProTaper’s Titanium Footpegs are crafted from aerospace-grade Gr5 titanium, making them over two times stronger than steel and a staggering 3.5 times stronger than aluminum. Despite their incredible strength, the pegs come in at an ultra-lightweight 350 grams per pair, reducing overall bike weight for a competitive edge. The laser-cut teeth provide a confident grip to a rider’s boot, and the open structure ensures that mud and debris easily clear from the peg.
The magnesium-colored cleats look great on any motocross bike, and ProTaper’s five part numbers for the peg ensure confident fitment to all popular motocross motorcycle brands.
Rabaconda Lift Kit for Dirt Bike Tire Changer
The Lift Kit is built for anyone who would be appreciative of a higher working height for the Dirt Bike Tire Changer. The Lift Kit raises the height of the Dirt Bike Tire Changer by 8 inches, making the working height of the changer 28 inches, and consists of three legs that attach to the base of the Dirt Bike Tire Changer without the use of tools.
The Lift Kit legs when attached increase the overall leg length of the unit and, as a result, provide added stability. Each leg within the kit is made of a durable galvanized steel and incorporates rubber feet for excellent grip on any surface; the entire kit can, of course, fit into the Dirt Bike Tire Changer carry bag.
