RS 660 parts and accessory upgrades
Austrian component manufacturer MG Biketec has been quick to market with this tail tidy design upgrade for the new Aprilia RS 660 . Allowing the original indicators to be retained , they are tucked inwards and upwards towards the rear light assembly and remain road legal in terms of position and spacing by including two 3D printed spacers . The tail tidy number plate carrier is available in three different sizes and the angle can be adjusted to meet local transport authority regulations . The CNC-milled aluminium components are anodised black and stainless steel hardware is used for assembly . All MG Biketec tail tidys come with an ECE type approved light and reflector . In addition to the new tail tidy , MG Biketec offers ergonomic brake and clutch levers with TÜV approval in different specifications and anodised colours . Also available is a 24-hour race-proven quick-release fuel filler cap , track-ready oil filler plug , brake reservoir cap and track stand bobbins .
' Powergun ' for Brutale 1000RR
Italian manufacturer QD has released a " new look and new feature " Powergun exhaust redesign for the 2021 MV Agusta Brutale . " This iconic exhaust has been improved with a new grid on the outlet ports and a new retaining system for the removable dB killer ." The four silencers have titanium cans and are equipped with Ergal end caps and a new Teflon base coating for improved temperature resistance . The dB killers are easily removable from underneath , where they are held by circlips ,
so they can be removed without having to remove the end-port mesh grids ; this means the exhaust can been used without the dB killers but with the mesh grids still in place . QD owner and CEO Manuel de Liso says that the new design " achieves a + 7 hp power gain at the top end " - which is remarkable on an engine like this .
