PRODUCT NEWS Telelever BMW suspension kit THE latest Street Box suspension kit from Hyperpro has been created for use on BMW motorcycles with Telelever suspension. The Street Box is described by the company as being an all-in-one box of front and rear shocks to revitalise suspension compliance to improve comfort and handling, as an affordable alternative to a complete suspension overhaul. The Telelever Street Box kit is engineered, tested and tuned specifically for 26 of BMW’s ‘92 to ‘14 touring, standard, sports touring and sport bike models. While the kit can be used on bikes with BMW’s optional ESA system, riders have to forfeit the function. Each kit includes Hyperpro’s advanced, emulsion-type shocks. The 360-series front and 460 model rear have steel bodies, 16mm chromium shafts and come with purple or black rising-rate springs. The shocks offer 45 positions of rebound damping adjustability and infinite preload settings; PARTS AND ACCESSORIES the rear shock has a convenient hydraulic adjuster. Street Boxes are also built for BMWs with conventional forks. Each includes a single rear shock, fork springs, fork oil, fork seal grease, suspension manual and bike-specific setup data. VStream windshields for R1200GS ZTECHNIK is now offering its VStream windshield in two heights for the water cooled BMW R1200GS. The Touring size VStream windscreen, which gets its name from its unique shape and dimensional contours, is wider and taller than stock. The patented ‘V’ profile is said to help keep wind off the rider’s upper body and helmet. The sport size is reshaped in contour but similar in height to the OEM and available in dark tint or clear. Both styles are made from FMR hard-coated polycarbonate. Optically the VStream windscreen is clear with virtually no distortion, and Ztechnik claims its screens are 30 times more scratch resistant and have 20 times greater crack and impact resistance than other aftermarket windscreens on the market made from commonly used acrylic.
