R&G Lockstop Savers
Motorcycle crashes or heavy falls can be highly damaging to a bike, with extreme forces potentially breaking the lockstops on the yoke. This can cause clip-ons and handlebars to move further back than normal, leading to additional damage to the frame and fuel tank.
The R&G Lockstop Savers are designed to prevent this from happening, providing a layer of protection to one of the most vulnerable parts of the bike. They are quick and easy to install, making them essential for any track day.
In addition to a range of model-specific Lockstop Savers, R&G has also created universal fitments to ensure almost every motorcyclist can protect their bike.
