Gilles - Africa Twin
Seen here for Honda's popular Africa Twin,
and compatible with the OE handlebar,
parts and accessory specialist Gilles
Tooling's 2DGT adjustable handlebar riser
gives a maximum of up to 25 mm increased
height for the handlebars, compared to the
original, and up to 7 mm of forward and
backward adjustment - from such relatively
small numbers a huge variance in geometry
and ergonomics can be achieved.
Additional Gilles custom options for the
1,000 cc parallel-twin CRF1000L include this
ACMA top yoke nut CNC-machined from
7075 zinc alloy aluminium (Ergal), available
in a selection of anodised colours, and ACM
titanium rear axle nut in titanium - both
featuring Gilles' patented pin interlock antirotation
device.
The RCT adjustable shift lever is machined
and anodised, with ball bearing for playfree
running and a toe piece with double
eccentric multiple axis height and length
adjustment - position 1 for between 8 and
33 mm shorter than the original toe piece
position, position 2 for between 11 mm
wider and 12 mm shorter than the original
toe piece position.
The RCT kit can be used together with the
standard Honda rearset or Gilles' own
advanced design super strong footpegs
with rubber insert for improved comfort
and vibration isolation - add Gilles' RGK2
detent pillion turning joints with any of the
up to 40 mm lowerable footpeg styles and
extensions for 360 degree, 24 click/20 mm
adjustability.
Also seen here is the RCT-RK-04-Africa
Explorer Enduro footpeg kit option for
original height or 20 mm lower positioning
and OFC oil filler cap with four different
coloured rings and POM locking tool.
Gilles design, manufacture and test inhouse,
and in the case of the RCT-RK-04-KIT
they report an 8400 Nm breaking load -
making it a very stable part. Gilles'
advanced technology and manufacturing
techniques include CAD Solidworks design
and construction simulation to optimise
component performance and 3D printing for
on time prototyping and resource
conservation - all backed up by DIN-ISO
9001 quality certification.
