Lightech for the BMW S 1000 R
In the last edition of IDN we featured internationally recognised parts and accessory specialist Lightech ' s new range of designs for the CB750 Hornet . This month , the Italian company has turned its attention to the BMW S 1000 R - " a dynamic roadster on the outside , with a superbike heart on the inside ".
Leading the range of model-specific designs is its adjustable rearset , a top-selling product for which Lightech is a market leader with export sales for a wide range of models worldwide . This new Lightech BMW S 1000 R rearset comes with a fresh and modern design , with brand-new and ergonomic heel guards that enhance rider performance with a package of small details that add up to a significant upgrade on the stock BMW design . It is available in three possible configurations - basic with fixed footpegs ( p / n FTRBM008 ), " W " version with folding footpegs ( p / n FTRBM008W ) and " R " version equipped with carbon heel guards , titanium bolts , high-quality bearings and folding footpegs ( p / n FTRBM008R ). Precision-machined from billet T6 heat-treated 7075 ( zinc alloy ) aluminium , this rearset design allows both standard and reverse shifting - with a complete suite of spare parts and optional accessories available to allow customisation . The chain adjuster ( TEBM003 ), available in black , red , gold and cobalt , allows a more precise and easier adjustment compared to the OEM design , simply by rotating the knob located at the end of the chain adjuster - each click corresponds to a shift / movement of 0.25 mm . A metric scale engraved on both sides of the chain adjuster makes adjustment simple . Another best-selling Lightech product is its licence plate holder kit ( p / n KTARBM111 ), which is designed to complement the lines of the bike . It is sold complete with approved licence plate light and reflector and is made to comply with the appropriate regulations . Equipped with a bracket for OEM LED turn signals , it can be customised with coloured washers on the sides .
This year has also seen Lightech develop a new range of brake levers , with a better and more precise adjustment system ( p / n KLEV134 ). The kit is available in three versions - the " J " version with a totally black finish , the " K " version with coloured rubber inserts , and the " H " version ( new for 2023 ), which features new ergonomic geometry with an increased curvature . All versions are precision-machined from lightweight magnesium and aluminium . Staying true to the ethos that " it is the details that matter ", Lightech also offers fuel tank caps in two options - a spin-on locking fuel tank cap and a quick release design ( in black , red and cobalt ), an oil filler cap , chain covers , mirrors , stands and much more .
