German motorcycle engineers SW-MOTECH have been quick off the mark with a range of practical accessories for Yamaha’s new MT-09 triple. Three slider kits are available, to protect the frame, front and rear axles.

The Frame Slider mounts from existing points on the MT-09′s cast aluminium frame. The elegant slider pads are made from light-weight, CNC-milled PA6-MO, a polymer with higher tensile strength and more impact and UV resistance than commonly used plastics. Frame Slider kits sell for £117.40 including VAT.

Both the Front and rear Axle Sliders are produced from abrasion-proof synthetics and are are designed to integrate with the bike’s styling. Installation is straightforward, without the need for specialist tools or knowledge, and all fittings and instructions come with the kits, which sell for £62.77 (Front Axle Sliders) and £57.94 (Rear Axle Sliders).

SW-Motech also offer the KOBRA Handguard-Kit for the MT-09. Manufactured from impact-resistant moplen plastic in black and mounted on a strong and full-wrapped aluminium frame, they offer weather and crash protection. KOBRA handguards come with fittings and instructions and will fit the original handlebars without modification. They retail for £117.40 including VAT.
