Italian suspension specialist Andreani Group
is respected internationally for its
professional grade workshop equipment for
testing and setting up optimum motorcycle
suspension systems for the track and the
street.
The company's decades of experience have
resulted in some unique equipment such as
its spring and vacuum tester and range of
suspension Dyno machines and a wide
range of motorcycle suspension-specific
repair and installation tools and accessories.
Andreani's technicians know their way
round a suspension tuning toolbox like no
others, and all dealers and their techs can
now benefit from that experience with the
unique Andreani Universal Suspension
Toolbox.
Decades of paddock and workshop
suspension tuning, service and repair
expertise has now been brought together
into a single toolbox that holds all the most
important and most often used suspensionspecific
tools and equipment.
Splash-proof USB
twin tank bag cable
This new tank bag cable from BAAS Bike Parts in
Germany is a USB charger for navigation systems,
Among the most recent tools born from the
Andreani team's track experience is the new
combined top cap tool that professional
technicians can find among the fittings/keys
contained in the toolbox (also available
separately).
Described as a "practical and indispensable
accessory", it is designed for simplified and
easy fork cap opening. Designed for the 14
mm preload adjustment on Öhlins
suspensions, it allows the fork cap to be
opened simply by lowering the gold
anodised fork tube, fixing the pin to the cap
and unscrewing the cap - especially useful
when needing to get into the fork while the
suspension is still on the bike and when
speed is necessary, such as when changing a
spring on the grid.
That is the kind of real world and race
experience that is tucked away in this
unique toolbox!

mobile phones, cameras, heating products and many
other rider accessories. One side is equipped with a
new splash-proof plug for small DIN on-board
sockets (often standard on brands such as BMW,
Ducati, Triumph).
The angled plug can also be used for side-mounted
sockets while driving. The USB side is easy to insert
with the 1.2 m long cable in the tank bag and offers
inside USB with 2 and 1A charging power.
The humble licence plate holder is one of the
components that usually lasts the least time on a new
motorcycle - it is one of the first components to be
changed as riders personalise their new machine.
Factory licence plates rarely enhance the silhouette
of the bike and are usually designed and
manufactured for price rather than durability.
Italian premium parts and accessory designer and
manufacturer LighTech has turned development of
the licence plate holder into an art form and applied
the same meticulous attention to detail, quality of
materials and manufacturing precision as all
LighTech product designs receive.
Available in two versions - standard and as a kit that
includes an approved light and rear reflector - they
are made of PA 12 polyamide compound (the
lightest) enriched with carbon fibre - a mix that
makes the product particularly light, very strong and
resistant to vibrations and degradation at a wide
range of temperatures.
They are equipped with rear reflector and adjustable
indicator supports and can be customised with
numerous accessories and spare parts available from
LighTech, such as the Ergal (aluminium zinc alloy)
bolt kits (in different colour options) and the licence
plate light.
Seen here is LighTech's KTARDU114, suitable for the
Ducati Hypermotard 950 SP, and E8 approved
FRE931NER branded indicators in ABS - 65 mm long
with Multi Pixel Technology.
