PRODUCT NEWS Crash protection for Ninja 300 Giannelli slip-ons for Kawasaki Z 800 R&G Racing has created a range of styling products and crash protection parts for the Kawasaki Ninja 300. The styling range of parts is made up of mirror blanking plates, rear footrest blanking plates, exhaust hanger, frame plugs, steering head nut and the popular R&G tail tidy. Crafted from stainless steel and complete with a plugand-play connector and bungee hook mounts, the tail tidy replaces the standard number plate hanger and light. A full complement of protection is also offered for the Ninja 300 by R&G, starting with its signature crash protectors, which are fitted to the frame and are designed to keep as much of the bike off the ground as possible in the event of a fall. The teardrop-shaped protectors are made from high-density Polyethylene (HDPE), which has been developed to wear and not shatter. R&G also utilises a particular grade of steel bolts to help absorb an impact by bending, rather than snapping or twisting its mounting point on the bike. The addition of bar end sliders helps prevent the levers and tank from making contact with the ground, while fork protectors, cotton reels, rear spindle sliders and exhaust protector perform a similar job for the brakes, suspension, swingarm and silencer. GIANNELLI has introduced four slip-on muffler options for the latest Kawasaki Z800, all of which can be used with the original head pipes. The Ipersport slip-on silencer is being offered in the choice of titanium with a carbon end cap, or aluminium with stainless steel end cap, or black anodized aluminium. There is also the stainless steel Gx-One slip-on and a racing 4:2:1 collector kit in stainless steel, which removes the catalytic converter. All of the slip-on options are street legal, and the weight ranges from 2.8kg to 4.3kg (while the original silencer weighs around 7.5kg). They come with a removable dB-killer and power gain is claimed to be around 3hp, while torque is increased up to 0.5kgm.
