SW-Motech Tank Bags and Protection for BMW R 1300 GS

SW-Motech Tank Bags and Protection for BMW R 1300 GSTank Ring, Tank Bags and Engine Bars are first in range of accessories for the new 1300 GS

SW-Motech are quick off the block, with a range of practical accessories for the latest incarnation of BMW’s best-selling adventure sport bike.

Number one on the list for most riders is luggage capacity and the PRO Tank Ringmakes carrying handy items easy.

The proven system features a magnetic guide – developed by Fidlock – which steers the bag into position on the tank ring for uber-quick mounting. The locking mechanism then clicks firmly into place, for a fuss-free fit every time; it can even be done one-handed. Removing it, for refuelling and at stops, is just as simple.

The Tank Ring is fully compatible with all PRO Tank Bags, including the PRO GS Tank Bag. Designed specifically for adventure bikes like the BMW R 1300 GS, with its steeply sloped fuel tank, the GS Tank Bag has a sturdy EVA plastic base that maintains its shape even when packed full. The factory-fitted upper ring guide rail allows for the tank bag to slide backwards and forwards to suit the ergonomic needs of the rider and shape of the tank. Only the PRO tank bags offer this flexibility.

This stable tank bag offers a generous 20 litres of storage, making it the perfect companion for long journeys. Crafted with durable ballistic nylon, the PRO GS is built to withstand the elements. The laminated EVA top adds a distinctive shape and provides a secure platform for your smartphone or tablet holder, thanks to the integrated MOLLE system.

There are two external pockets, mesh compartments in the interior to keep things tidy, cable feed-through inlets on the front and rear and a rain cover for use in adverse conditions.

SW-Motech’s engineers have also been quick off the mark with Upper and Lower Crash Bars for the new GS.

Made from heavy-duty steel tubing, they form a protective barrier around the fuel tank, fairing and the Boxer Twin’s vulnerable cylinder heads.

Each set is tailor made in SW-Motech’s European factory, and fixes to existing points on the bike – no drilling or additional brackets needed. They add minimal width, so they won’t affect handling or cornering.

The bars are powder coated to prevent corrosion and blend in with the Beemer’s styling. Surface finishing is carried out in SW-Motech’s own state-of-the-art facility in the Czech Republic, to guarantee quality and consistency.

Prices (including VAT) are as follows:

  • PRO Tank Ring – £32.34
  • PRO GS Tank Bag – £222.95
  • Upper Crash Bars – £221.76
  • Lower Crash Bars – £249.48

Additional accessories for the GS will be added to the catalogue in the coming months.

SW-Motech Crash Bars for Suzuki V-Strom 800DE

Tailor-made crash protection for the latest generation of Suzuki’s popular dual sport bike

Robust, weather-resistant and tailor-made to fit perfectly, SW-Motech Crash Bars are an essential addition to adventure bikes, guarding against costly and potentially journey-ending damage.

SW-Motech’s engineers have been quick off the mark to develop crash bars for the new Suzuki V-Strom 800DE. Made from 22mm heavy-duty steel, they form a protective barrier around the fuel tank, fairing and upper engine casings, shielding against damage from low speed and static drops, impacts with other vehicles, and in slides and falls at higher speeds too.

Each set is tailor made in SW-Motech’s European factory, and attach to existing anchor points on the frame, without the need for drilling, cutting or additional brackets. They add minimal width and won’t affect handling or cornering clearance.

The bars are powder coated to help prevent corrosion and blend in with the Suzuki’s styling. Surface finishing is carried out in SW-Motech’s own state-of-the-art facility in the Czech Republic, to guarantee quality and consistency.

SW-Motech Crash Bars fit the 2022-2023 Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE and retail at £194.04 including VAT. They come complete with instructions and all hardware needed to fit.

Tailor Your Transalp with SW-Motech

Luggage, protection and ergonomic add-ons for the new Honda Transalp 750

Honda’s Transalp has a well-earned reputation as a mile-munching middleweight and the new generation builds on those strengths.

Owners of the current model can unlock its touring and commuting potential even further, thanks to a complete range of luggage, ergonomic and protection accessories from SW-Motech.

Luggage
The Pro Tank Ring (£32.95) features Fidlock magnetic tech, for clip-on-and-go fitting of SW-Motech’s Pro Tank Bags. Matching the curved tank of the Transalp, the PRO City Tank Bag (£196.96) offers a handy 14 litres of storage. Even when fully loaded, the slim shape allows full steering lock.

Pannier options include Trax Adv Aluminium Cases. Totally water- and dust-proof, they come in black or silver, and either 45 or 37 litre capacity. Attachment is via Pro Side Carriers, which hold the cases as close to the Transalp as possible to reduce width. Quick-lock fasteners allow the cases to be removed and refitted in seconds. A complete 45 litre kit retails at £1,016.40, and comes with everything needed to mount.

Protection
The robust, powder-coated steel Engine Crash Bar (£212.51) adds extra ‘insurance’ against damage. It protects the Transalp’s fairing and radiator and fixes to existing mounting points. Covering the downpipes and lower engine casings, the 4mm-thick aluminium Engine Guard (£249.48) is available in black or silver.

The Handguard Mounting Kit (£112.96) is compatible with Kobra and BBStorm handguard shells. Both provide protection for the hands and levers against wind, weather and contact with branches and brambles when riding off-road.

Ergonomics
With a large, removable rubber contact pad and no fewer than 36 adjustments, the Evo Footrest Kit (£134.95) offers serious extra comfort. Each one can be moved down, forward and back, and angled for the perfect peg position.

Additional accessories will be available for the Transalp soon, including a Rear Brake Pedal Extension and a Sidestand Extender.

The system retails at just £423.36 and comes with everything needed to get going, including two discreet SLC Side carriers that fix to existing points on the CB750’s subframe, and a pair of lightweight, 16.5 litre, Urban ABS cases. These come with waterproof inner bags, built-in anti-theft protection and lockable zippers.

Protection

Aluminium Lever Guards offer protection for both brake and clutch lever against falls and drops. They’re made from high-quality forged and milled anodized aluminium, mount to the end of the Hornet’s handlebar and retail at £116.64 per pair.

The robust, powder-coated steel Engine Crash Bars (£181.44) add extra insurance against damage. They protect the upper engine casings and radiator and fix to existing mounting points for quick and easy fitting.

Stylish and practical, the high-quality aluminium alloy Front-End Spoiler (£165.20) protects the downpipes, engine casing and chassis from debris thrown up by the front tyre, and gives the Hornet a cool streetfighter look.

Modular Waterproof Luggage from SW-Motech

100% waterproof and lightweight luggage, with a very versatile attachment system.

SW-Motech’s new SysBag Waterproof Bags redefine how motorcycle luggage works, combining the lightness and waterproof construction of soft luggage with the convenience and stability of hard luggage mounting systems.

Made entirely of tough 210 Ripstop TPU material, with welded seams to keep any water out, there are three sizes to choose from – Large can hold up to 40 litres of luggage, Medium 23 litres and small has 16 litres capacity.

All feature roll top closure, combining easy access with a reliable waterproof seal, fastened by quick-release buckles on the top, where they can’t be snagged by branches or damaged in a fall.

The Large SysBag has a removable inner bag, complete with adjustable sections for organising kit, while the Medium and Small have separate zippered pockets inside.

Much lighter than hard luggage, SysBags are easier to handle off the bike too. They can be used individually or together, in dozens of different configurations, eg: a large bag on one side and a small/medium on the other, to clear a high level exhaust.

SysBags can be attached and removed from the bike in seconds using SW-Motech’s ’one-click’ solid mounting system. Medium and Small bags come prepared to accept adapter plates enabling them to be mounted to SW Motech’s bike-specific SLC Side Carriers, while the Large is designed to be used with their PRO Side Carriers.

Alternatively they can be attached to almost any pannier rack using the integrated straps; no separate cords or bungees needed. There is even an option to attach additional bags using the Molle loop system.

SysBag WP bags retail from £129.95 for the Small, £156.95 for Medium and £204.95 for Large. Adapter plates start at £32.95 each, and SW-Motech’s bike-specific SLC Side Carriers start from just £49.96 per side (all including VAT).

Quick Fit Tank Bag for Ducati DesertX

High quality, clip-on / ride-off tank bag from SW-Motech for Ducati’s new DesertX adventure bike.

Compact and quick to attach and remove with the proven PRO Tank Ring system, the SW-Motech PRO Micro Tank Bag is the perfect partner for Ducati’s new DesertX.

Surprisingly spacious for its size, the PRO Micro is expandable from 3-5 litres and offers a handy spot to stash essentials like a smartphone, credit cards, change for tolls, documents and more, keeping pockets free and everything easily accessible.

The tough ballistic fabric and laminated EVA shell help the Micro keep its distinctive shape and the contents well-protected. It has a water resistant interior coating and comes with a separate rain cover for serious downpours.

Mesh compartments keep smaller items inside separated, and the large flap and glove-friendly zip pulls make access quick and easy – the zips feature a padlock loop for added security. A military-inspired MOLLE attachment system allows optional smartphone and tablet mounts to be securely fitted to the top.

Attaching and removing the Micro tank bag from the DesertX couldn’t be easier, thanks to SW-Motech’s proven PRO tank ring system. A magnetic guide, developed by Fidlock, steers the bag into position on the tank ring; the locking mechanism then clicks it firmly into place, for a fuss-free fit every time – it can even be done one-handed.

The pre-assembled top ring guide rail also allows for ergonomic adjustment of the Micro, so riders can tailor the bag’s position. SW-Motech have adapted their tank ring to suit the DesertX’s off-centre fuel filler cap, so it carries the Micro centrally and keeps the filler cap free too – the bike can be refuelled with the bag in place.

The SW-Motech PRO Micro Tank Bag retails at £112.96 including VAT and comes complete with the PRO top ring and rain cover. The PRO Tank Ring for the Ducati DesertX sells for £51.84 including VAT. Once fitted it can be used with other PRO Tank Bags.

NEW SW-Motech Variable Bar Backs

Dial-in day-long comfort with SW-Motech’s new Variable Bar Backs, which allow handlebars to be set to seven different positions in seconds.

Bringing welcome relief from ‘one size fits all’ riding positions, Bar Backs allow handlebars to be pulled back or moved forwards by up to 35 mm – in 5 mm increments – so riders of different shapes and sizes can find their most comfortable position.

They also enable riders to adjust the bars to suit sport, touring and off-road riding.

Unlike fixed ‘up and overs’ or risers, the adjustment allows fine tuning of the upper body position, reducing aches and pains in the back, shoulders and wrist – particularly problematic on longer journeys.

Bar backs also come with a choice of 25, 28 or 30mm of rise for added comfort.

There’s no need to remove and remount the bars, or the Bar Backs themselves, to adjust: simply loosen the allen-key fixing, slide the handlebars to the required position and retighten to secure. Each 5mm increment is engraved into the side, so positioning can be clearly seen.

Their clever design means even the maximum amount of movement won’t affect steering or overstretch cables and hoses – or require the buying and fitting of replacements.

CNC-milled from high-strength aluminium alloy and anodized in a choice of Black, Silver and Anthracite finishes, they fit pretty much any bike with regular handlebar clamps and are available for 22, 28 and 32 mm diameter bars.

SW-Motech Variable Bar Backs retail at £146.88 per pair including VAT.

Upper Crash Bar
Protects upper engine, radiators, fuel tank lowers and bodywork. Multiple mounting points to spread impact forces; tough yet lightweight 27mm steel pipe, powder coated in black to resist corrosion. (RRP £171.95 inc VAT)

Two-piece, wrap-around guard which protects the sump and lower engine casings and exhaust headers. Made of high quality aluminium alloy; attaches to existing mounts; recess for the oil drain plug allows easy oil change. (£231.95)

KOBRA Handguards and Mounting Kit
Impact-resistant Moplen plastic guards protect hands from wind and rain, as well as branches and debris when trail riding. Simple screw attachment to mounting kit for quick changes. Aluminium brackets offer strong two-point attachment. Also protects levers against impact. Compatible with KOBRA or BBSTORM handguards. (£127.18)

Front and Rear Axle Sliders
Discreet slider pads made from abrasion-resistant polyamide, with a robust core made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic. Protects front and rear axles, plus swingarm; high mechanical damping capacity and good sliding properties due to TPE coating; easy mounting with axle thread and bike-specific spacers. (£51.95 for the front and £64.95 for the rear axle)

All components are bike-specific and designed to fit the 2019-on Tiger 900, GT, Rally and Pro models, using existing attachment points – no fiddly fitting kits or modifications needed. They’re also carefully designed to blend in with the Triumph’s rugged looks.

Each piece of the set is available separately, or Tiger owners can purchase the whole package for £609.95 including VAT, saving money compared to buying each piece individually.

Travel Like a Pro with SW Motech

Holding a massive 65 litres of kit and able to fit on almost any motorcycle, SW-Motech’s new PRO Travelbag adds serious carrying capability, without the need for multiple bags, bulky hard luggage or unsightly racking.

Designed to fit on almost any bike in minutes, the PRO Travelbag has a specially-shaped, anti-slip underside, which sits on the passenger seat. It’s then secured using four heavy-duty straps, featuring SW-Motech’s patented lashing hooks.

The straps are super quick and easy to use: attach one end to a suitable mounting point on the bike, clip the lashing hook to the eyelet, and then set the tension. Any excess strap length can be secured with the built-in Velcro® fastener. This allows the bag to be used on different motorcycles.

Once set, the bag is removed and reattached in seconds: simply pull on the red drawstring to release the hooks from each eyelet and it’s free; the straps stay on the bike ready for the bag to be clipped back in place again.

Built to last, the PRO Travelbag is made from a durable and UV-resistant 1680D Ballistic Nylon, originally designed for military use, with a splash-proof inner lining.

The huge 65-litre capacity is split between a spacious main compartment and two handy side pockets, with waterproof zippers.

The top features an overlapping lid that allows easy access, and helps protect contents from the weather. A waterproof inner bag is also included, providing extra protection for valuable contents.

There are two separate mesh compartments inside the lid, and a further mesh compartment in the lid to the main compartment below, for storing smaller items and keeping things like travel documents separate and easily accessed.

All external zips are designed to be easily operated with gloved hands, and each one has an elasticated loop to prevent the zip pulls from flapping in the wind.

MOLLE attachments in strong hypalon material feature on the top and front of the bag, for fastening additional SW-Motech bags, and three robust carrying handles and a detachable shoulder strap make it easy to carry off the bike too

The SW-Motech PRO Travelbag retails at £257 including VAT.

It comes with a waterproof inner bag, four loop straps with lashing hooks, a shoulder strap, lashing eyes for attaching to the number plate holder, protective foil for the bike’s bodywork and full mounting instructions

Volume: 65 litres | Size: 75 x 33.5 x 31 cm | Weight: 3.5 kg

NEW waterproof tank bag from SW-Motech

New for 2021, the PRO Yukon WP tank bag from SW-Motech combines the convenience of the PRO tank ring mounting system with the practicality of waterproof construction.

The lid is made from waterproof EVA vinyl and overlaps the body of the tank bag to prevent water from running in. It is secured magnetically, making it easy to open and close with a gloved hand, and inside there is a waterproof viewing compartment, suitable for a smartphone or road map.

Offering a six litre capacity, the main compartment is made from tough TPU thermoplastic, welded for a seamless waterproof construction.

On top of the lid is a MOLLE attachment web, which can be used to fit accessories from the SW-Motech range, such as waterproof smartphone and tablet holders.

The Yukon is mounted using the innovative PRO tank ring system. A magnetic guide, developed by Fidlock, steers the latching system on the tank bag into position on the tank ring, then the lock clicks firmly into place, for a fuss-free fit every time.

The PRO Yukon WP tank bag sells for £128.30  including VAT and prices for the PRO Tank Ring start at £25.66.

Blazing saddlebags

New for 2021, SW-Motech Pro Blaze Panniers offer riders of machines with limited luggage capability a versatile and cost-effective way to carry kit.

Pro Blaze Panniers improve on the already popular Blaze design, with new side walls made from dimensionally stable and laminated EVA, for increased rigidity and strength; updated anti-slip material for improved grip on the seat, and an all-new Molle attachment made of durable Hypalon material on the front for accessory bags.

Ideal for sport and street bikes with minimalist rear-ends – like KTM’s 1290 Super Duke, the Yamaha MT-09 and Ducati Streetfighter – Pro Blaze Panniers use a unique fitting system for serious carrying capacity and stability.

The attachment system uses a clever Quick-Lock rail, which is discreet, light and doesn’t clutter the machine, like hard luggage mounting systems. Simply clamp the Quick-Lock mounts to the bike’s rear footrest hangers, push in the rails, slide on the panniers and clip them in place.

The rails keep the load stable, secure and away from the wheel, chain and other moving parts, ensuring the panniers won’t shift, even during hard riding. They also eliminate the need for straps.

When the destination is reached, the panniers and rails can be removed in seconds, leaving only the clamps behind, and the machine completely uncluttered.

Each Blaze pannier bag is made from robust and UV-resistant Ballistic Nylon, with a wide top opening for easy access. They can be expanded for additional carrying capacity too.

A zippered outside pocket allows quick and easy access to essentials, while the solid carrying handle makes them easy to manage off the bike.

Two versions are available – Pro Blaze and Pro Blaze H, which are the ‘High’ version of the bags, designed specifically for bikes with a high exhaust.

A typical Pro Blaze system retails at just £317.96 – including two saddlebags, model-specific support arms, two waterproof inner bags, paint protection film, instruction manual and all the fitting materials.

For a full fitment list visit the brand new SW-Motech UK website at sw-motech.co.uk

SW Motech Accessories for KTM 1290 Super Adventure S

German motorcycle engineering specialists, SW Motech, have introduced a comprehensive range of model-specific accessories for KTM’s new 1290 Super Adventure S, giving owners plenty of options for tailoring their ride.

LUGGAGE
A tough, spacious and versatile luggage system enhances any journey, so SW Motech have developed their complete aluminium pannier and rack kit for the KTM.

Made from light and durable powder-coated aluminium, Trax Adventure Panniers are designed to sit neatly around the tail unit and exhaust system on the Adventure S, providing a whopping 82-litres of storage space.

The cases are attached using SW Motech’s new Quick-Lock Evo Side Carriers. The patented system means that not only the cases, but also the carriers, can be removed in seconds, leaving the KTM completely uncluttered.

Each box is shaped to give ample ground clearance when cornering, and feature glass reinforced plastic corner caps to protect against knocks and scuffs, both on and off the bike.

Removable lids and quick release fasteners make loading and unloading a breeze. Four large tie-down points feature on leach lid, for carrying extras.

A complete system for the KTM – consisting of Quick-Lock Evo carrier, 45-litre (left) and 37-litre (right) TraX Evo Alu-Boxes, and a locking kit with 6 matching locks and 2 keys – retails at £658.00.

For added carrying capability, the 1290 can also be fitted with SW Motech’s Alu-Rack luggage carrier (£115.99), Seat Rack (£134.99) and the Quick Lock Tankbag system.

The high strength, machined Alu-Rack is a neat and slender alternative to tubular systems and is compatible with the Quick-Lock Adapter Plate and Quick-Lock luggage rack extension, which enables the attachment of the TraX® EVO Top Cases.

The bike-specific Seat-Rack replaces the passenger seat and offers additional and flexible tie-down options.

Quick Lock Tank Bags come in a variety of sizes and styles and simply click on and off using the tank ring system – no straps or magnets to wrestle with. Prices start at £69.00 for the 5-litre expandable Micro Tank Bag and the tank ring adapter costs £31.00.

ERGONOMICS
Made from high-quality aluminium, the SW Motech Bar Riser helps take the strain out of long journeys. They’re available in either 20 mm or 30 mm rise and in a black or silver finish for £50.99.

The Brake Pedal Extension replaces and enlarges the original brake lever surface area, for added purchase and control. The serrated surface helps stop riding boots slipping off when riding in the wet. RRP: £20.99.

Multi-position adjustable and with a large, removable rubber contact pad for added grip, SW-Motech Evo Footrests offer extra comfort for long rides, both on and off the road. RRP £125.99.

PROTECTION
Finally, the SW Motech Engine Guard for the 1290 helps shield the motor from potentially costly and frustrating damage from flying debris and contact with the ground, trees and rocks when venturing off road. It’s made from light and sturdy 4 mm aluminium and has a wraparound design for large coverage. It retails at £199.99.

For details of the complete SW Motech range of luggage and accessories, contact Motohaus Powersports on 01256 704909 or visit www.motohaus.com

New SW Motech Evo Spotlights

Simple to fit, SW Motech Evo Spotlights use maintenance-free LEDs, to help riders spot potential hazards in good time, and make themselves more visible to other road users too.

LEDs emit a powerful light, but consume significantly less power than traditional bulbs, putting less strain on the bike’s battery. They’re also long-lasting and maintenance-free.

Compact and subtly styled, Evo Spotlights are housed in a totally sealed, 100% waterproof, tough aluminium casing.

They connect directly to the motorcycle’s battery – no changes to the motorcycle wiring are required – and come complete with a splash-proof handlebar switch, which is illuminated for ease of operation in the dark.

They’re available in two different variants: 275 Lumen ‘Fog Lights’, which provide a wider horizontal spread of light; and 375 Lumen ‘High Beam’ for a narrow and powerful beam of light.

The Spotlights can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and can be fitted directly to crash bars or frame tubes, using bike-specific mounts (available separately). They measure just 7.1 cm in diameter, so are unobtrusive wherever mounted.

SW Motech Evo Spotlights cost £271.99 per pair, including VAT. Each kit comes complete with the required wiring harness and fuse, a ‘toggle’ handlebar mounted power switch – for easy operation when riding – plus all the required mounting materials and instructions.

Contact Motohaus Powersports on 01256 704909 or visit www.motohaus.com

Key features:

  • Maintenance-free operation through wear-free LEDs
  • Low power consumption
  • 100% waterproof, fully sealed and strong aluminium housing
  • Wide/horizontal or narrow/powerful beam light dispersion options
  • Connect directly to battery, no changes to motorcycle electrics necessary

New 70-litre SW-Motech Drybag

Lightweight, versatile and built for all weathers and all machines, SW-Motech’s Drybag 700 carries up to 70-litres of kit and offers reliable protection against rain and dirt.

Tough, durable and 100% waterproof PVC-coated 500D polyester construction, with roll-and-clip closure, keeps contents dry and well protected. A large opening makes getting items in and out quick and easy too. Should extra capacity be required, integrated clip adapters allow for the mounting of additional Drybags.

A four-point strapping system gives a secure and stable fit, and the flexibility to find mounting points on most machines; D-rings are also included, for additional straps. Width adjustment enables the bag to be made wider or narrower to suit different bike tail sections.

An ergonomic shoulder strap and carry handle give easy carrying off the bike. Retro-reflective detailing helps when riding in low-light conditions.

The SW-Motech Drybag 700 retails at £125.99 including VAT. Contact Motohaus Powersports on 01256 704909 or visit www.motohaus.com

New SW-Motech Messenger Bag

Designed for life on the road, the new SW-Motech Legend Gear Messenger Bag can even be converted from a handy shoulder bag to a tail pack.

A combination of waxed canvas and robust Napalon synthetic leather, with webbing straps and anodized aluminium buckles, gives the Legend Gear Messenger Bag an authentic vintage look, as well as the toughness needed for everyday use on a motorcycle.

The shoulder strap can be adjusted for length with one hand and is suitable for wearing on either left or right side, making it easy to put on or take off, even over bulky riding jackets.

A removable waist strap keeps the bag firmly in place during the ride, while padding on both the shoulder strap and back section cushion the wearer. An additional carrying handle allows the bag to be carried like a brief case.

Offering a generous 12 litre capacity, the main section of the Messenger Bag has a splash-proof lining and water-resistant internal roll-top closure, to protect contents from the weather. A padded laptop holder (up to 15-inch screen size) also features. There are additional zipped pockets under the flap.

Should the user need extra capacity, Legend Gear’s unique military-style attachment system, with tough webbing loops and alloy hooks, allows LA1 and LA2 Accessory Bags to be mounted quickly and easily.

To convert to bag a tail pack, simply remove the shoulder strap and attach the optional mounting straps to the four integrated loops to secure to the bike seat or rack.

The SW-Motech Legend Gear Messenger Bag retails at £158.99 (including VAT) and the optional tail bag strap set is £20.99.

New SW-Motech Evo Footrests

Multi-position adjustable and with a large, removable rubber contact pad for added grip and comfort, SW-Motech Evo Footrests offer extra comfort for long rides, both on and off the road.

  • Multi-position adjustment – both height and angle
  • Large dimension, removable rubber pad with profiled surface for grip
  • Tailored to fit the bike’s existing mounts
  • Stainless steel and CNC-milled aluminium alloy construction

A tailored riding position can make all the difference on long journeys – even the smallest amount of adjustment provides much needed relief to cramped limbs – yet only a handful of motorcycles offer any adjustability, and most of those only have movement in the seat and bars.

Available for a broad range of dual sport and touring bikes, the Evo Footrest Kits allow riders to increase legroom, by lowering the height and adjusting the angle of the foot. Height can be adjusted from standard to 15mm lower, with 10 positions in between, and the foot angle can be rotated backwards or forwards by 18 degrees.

A large dimension contact area with a profiled rubber insert helps absorb vibration and road shocks, and is profiled to ensure a firm grip – especially reassuring on dirt roads and trails, when standing on the pegs is required. The rubber insert is removable, should the rider prefer.

Each kit is manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel for durability and strength, and features lightweight, but tough aluminium alloy footrest links, which are CNC-milled for accurate fit and operation.

The kits are tailor made to fit the original footpeg mounts, and come with all required fixings and full instructions.

Retail price: £125.99 including VAT at 20%

SW Motech Scramble the Suzuki SV650

SW Motech join forces with Suzuki to create special SV650 Dealer Edition 

The German motorcycle accessory specialists have chosen a selection of add-ons from their extensive range to give the popular V-twin a ‘street scrambler’ makeover, as well as adding useful extra features and functionality.

The kit adds SW Motech Guards for the Radiator (£77.00), Chain (£86.90) and Headlight (£86.90), plus Front Frame and Sprocket Covers (£39.60 each), Lateral Protection (£103.39) and Header Pipe Protection (£19.80), to shield the SV during rough urban rides and on the open road.

The Footrest Kit (£93.50) provides extra comfort & grip, while Bar Risers (£45.10) are fitted for a commanding scrambler-style riding position; Mirror Extenders (£49.50) improve the scope of rearward vision .

SW Motech Indicators (£113.29) and Fender Kit (£172.69), alongside the Dunlop Mutant dual sport tyres, Remus Okami End Can and Genuine Tuck Roll seat, finish off the street scrambler look and feel.

The Suzuki SV650 Dealer Kit represents just some of SW Motech’s extensive range of accessories tailored to the latest generation SV. Owners can also kit out their Suzuki with the new Legend Gear Luggage, which combines vintage looks with modern materials, and has a versatile and robust carrying system; add extra protection with the sturdy Engine Crash Bars; or top off the street scrambler styling with a choice of Handguards.

Do a stretch on your GS with Wunderlich

Wunderlich Highway Pegs help R1200GS LC riders stretch out during long days in the saddle.

Previously the preserve of custom and cruiser bikes, forward-mounted footpegs allow a much more relaxed riding position, taking the strain out of motorway riding when legs are often locked in one position for long periods.

Much safer than resting riding boots on crash bars, the pegs are serrated to help the sole get a firm grip and are flared at the outer edge to prevent the foot slipping off. Optional non-slip rubberised covers are also included, for extra grip.

Made from sturdy yet lightweight aluminium – coated to reduce the risk of corrosion – they add minimal weight and are hinged so can be folded away when not in use.

The pegs mount directly to Wunderlich crash bars. Adapters are also supplied, so they can be fitted to round tubes between 20 mm to 28.5 mm diameter.

Wunderlich Highway Pegs retail at £100- including VAT per pair, and are supplied with all fixings required. They fit all models of liquid-cooled BMW R1200 GS, fitted with tubular crash bars.

Distinguish your Street Twin with SW-Motech

SW-Motech Legend Gear Luggage and Accessories for Triumph Street Twin

SW-Motech has expanded its new Legend Gear luggage range to fit Triumph’s new Street Twin, as well as introducing a range of styling and functional add-ons and accessories for the new retro roadster.

The bags are made from waxed canvas and robust Napalon synthetic leather for the proper vintage look, and the practicality needed for everyday use. PU coatings on the inside, plus waterproof inner bags and rain covers, keep contents well protected from the weather.

A unique military-style attachment system, with tough webbing loops and alloy hooks, means bags can be quickly and easily attached and removed from the bike – and each other – allowing riders to tailor the system to their needs.

Available for the Street Twin is the Legend Gear Side Bag Set £336.99 (including Side Carrier SLC) which fixes using discrete and lightweight pannier rails and the handy quick-lock system; the LT1 and LT2 Tank Bags (£69.99 / £110.99), plus the 17.5-litre LR1 and 48-litre LR2 Tailbags (£140.99 / £224.99).

Also available is an aluminium Engine Guard (£102.99), which helps protect the Street Twin’s engine casings from damage caused by gravel and other debris thrown up by the front tyre; a sturdy 27 mm Crashbar (£87.99), and a steel grill Headlight Guard (£87.99).

Other add-ons for the Triumph include: Mirror Extenders, Exhaust Header Pipe Protectors and GPS Mount Kits. To view the complete range, contact SW-Motech’s exclusive UK distributors Motohaus Powersports on 01256 704909 or visit: www.motohaus.com
