Improved GS aerodynamics and comfort
ZTechnik ' s new GS fairing winglets are said to raise the performance and comfort level of the 2013 and later R1200GS for both touring and off-road riders. The extensively tested design extends the performance of the bike’ s windshield by diverting buffeting underdrafts and turbulent air from the rider’ s cockpit. Manufactured from tough, durable but lightweight and scratch resistant 4.5mm Quantum hard coated polycarbonate, ZTechnik say that“ this material has the strength to handle the rugged off-road environment, and our state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and attention to detail are evident in the smooth radius edge, precision forming and excellent fit.“ These designs are fuller and higher than the small OEM cockpit fairing parts and proven to improve the riding experience in all types of riding conditions, from touring to adventure riding”. They mount easily to existing points on the motorcycle in less than 15 minutes – mounting screws with special offset bushings keep the plastic away from the painted bodywork of

‘ Bullet Pro’ leather jacket
Clover’ s new‘ Bullet Pro’ leather jacket is said to pay homage to classic vintage styling with 21st century features such as adjustable and removable CE certified protectors at the shoulders and elbows with a back protector pocket and subtle padding at the shoulders, sleeves and lumbar area. The two-layer zippered sleeve construction is crafted in the same supple sheepskin leather that Clover uses for the palms of their gloves, but here down to a thickness of 0.8 / 0.9mm and with a soft-touch finish. Internally the detachable thermal vest liner means this garment can be worn for most of the year- the collar features a snap fastener to provide a snug fit and the bottom of the jacket can be adjusted to prevent unwanted inward cold airflow.
