PRODUCT NEWS R&G stainless steel radiator guards R&G Racing is well known for its range of products designed to protect sportsbikes form accidental damage, but the company also caters for off-road and adventure bikes, and one example of those products is its stainless steel radiator guards. Made from 1mm thick stainless steel the guards are designed to provide maximum protection for the bike’s radiator against everyday debris, such as rocks and stones. Each guard is laser-cut and CNC finished with a design claimed to maximise airflow into the radiator, ensuring the guard has no detrimental effect on cooling. No modification to the bike is required. All radiator guards can be fitted either using the bike’s existing mounting bolts, or with cable ties. The R&G stainless steel radiator guard is available to fit Aprilia Caponord 1200; BMW F650GS, F700GS, F800GS, F800GT, F800R, F800S, F800ST, and R1200GS; Ducati Multistrada 1200, KTM 990 Adventure, KTM 1190 Adventure and 1190 Adventure R; Triumph Tiger 800, Triumph Tiger 1050, Triumph Tiger 1050 Sport, and Triumph Tiger 1200 Explorer. Puig parts for the R12000 GS PUIG has created a line of parts for use on the 2013 liquid-cooled BMW R12000GS, which includes a taller than stock screen. The Puig Touring screen is 11.5cm higher than the OEM fitting, and made from 3mm thick High Impact acrylic. The screen, which fits using the stock hardware, is said to improve windblast protection. To protect the underseat area of the latest GS, Puig is producing a rear fender, which is available in a choice of matt black or carbon look finishes. Completing the range of new parts from Puig are engine guards, which are laser-cut for a precise fit and then powdercoated.

All three of the products are highly concentrated to offer optimal cleaning. The first of the three is Dirt Bike Cleaner, which is described as being suitable for cleaning all types of motocross and enduro motorcycles. It uses a phosphate-free formula that does not stain aluminium, but which removes stubborn stains. A second bike wash option for more general use is RS1 Pro Bike Wash. It has a formula that removes dirt efficiently, and is safe to use on aluminium, chrome and painted surfaces. 32 Completing the line of reintroduced cleaners from Putoline is Whizz Wash & Wax. The company claims that if it is regularly used, it is no longer necessary to wash the bike’s engine with water first, as the special formula leaves a long lasting protective coating. At the same time it reintroduced its cleaning products, Putoline has also launched a new clutch fluid option. Now in a 125ml tube, the new packaging has 25 percent more content and is said to make dosing and working clean and easy.
