PRO GuIDe
Universal‘ 140’ windshield
Kappa launched a range of flyscreens and windshields last year, including their minimalist new‘ 100ALK’ design in aluminium. The company has now added to the range with this new‘ 140’ version – a slightly larger design, using more standard materials, but retaining the look of the smaller original design. The protective surface is made of Plexiglass, measuring 35 x 41 cm( H x L) and its main design
characteristic is a slightly angled, bevelled shape, highlighted by the moulding. Available in clear or smoke, the screen is universal as it can be fitted to any bike using Kappa’ s separately available model-specific installation kit. Installation of the screen does not involve any structural modifications to the motorcycle. This is the same kit used to install the 100ALK windshield, which enables riders to switch screens on the basis of looks or functionality. Currently the kit is available for selected BMW, Moto Guzzi, Triumph and Yamaha models( XSR 900 seen here), with the fitment list being updated regularly. Also seen here, this KS920 universal multimedia‘ Smart Clip’ fits handlebars from 8 to 35mm and can clamp to irregular profiled bars to attach a wide range and size of devices securely. Not only does it enable the rider to see the route on the Sat Nav, but it also allows obstruction-free video shooting. Constructed from a combination of materials

moulded together( technopolymers and rubber, increasing the grip where the device is housed), the front is adjustable and can be rotated to provide horizontal or vertical view of the screen.
Insertion and removal is also“ smart”; the device is securely restrained by three claws, which can be extended using a single command. The KS920M can accommodate overall sizes from a minimum of 112 x 52 mm to a maximum of 148 x 75 mm and be used with smartphones with an overall size ranging from a minimum of 144 x 67 mm to a maximum of 178 x 90 mm.

The BMW R nineT has been begging for the“ Ilmberger treatment”, and never ones to do anything by halves, the Bavarian carbon fibre parts specialist has exploited the versatility of a platform that has quickly become a favourite with the custom community by developing a range of designs that pay homage to the legendary Superbikes of the 1970s. So far Ilmberger has completed 12 model-specific parts, with options such as“ a street fairing as well as an exclusive version for racing, which works well on the race track, but is also a great basis for customising the bike, as customers often install very small lights.
With our race fairing, we pave the way for all fans of the racing look,” says Julius Ilmberger, Managing Director of Ilmberger Carbonparts. Core piece of the carbon collection for the BMW R nineT‘ Racer’ is the engine spoiler –“ a direct adaption from racing, which also looks quite impressive on the street version.” The full line-up includes a belly pan, cover behind the headlight, fairing holder, front fender, tank vent holder, pillion seat cover( with or without holders), rear splash guard, rear undertray( without number plate holder), side covers at the seat( left and right), silencer protector( rear) and complete top fairing in choice of race or street style.

Weight saving Ducati‘ Stealth’ sprockets
Sprocket brand of choice for more than 60 World Champions of various disciplines( including three Pikes Peak hill climb successes – a real sprocket killer!), you would think that there couldn’ t possibly be any new products from legendary manufacturer Supersprox to bring to the market. But the motorcycle industry rarely stands still, and there are always new opportunities, applications and fitments. The latest addition from the inventor of aluminium and aluminium and steel combination sprockets is a new range of sprockets for Ducati motorcycles. With a claimed weight reduction compared to the OEM steel sprocket of over 30 %, Supersprox‘ Stealth’ racing sprockets have steel teeth for long life and an aluminium core for light weight. Produced in Europe with production in Supersprox’ Polish and Ukraine factories, the company is currently working with HRC, KTM, Yamaha and Husqvarna factory teams to develop their latest idea of a sprocket that will help extend chain life by more than 40 %.“ Although this may sound like an exaggeration, we are closer than you may imagine,” says Director General DJ Maughfling, whose father Roger founded the company in the 1950s.“ The goal is to keep riding affordable for our clients,” says DJ. With their‘ Stealth’ sprockets featuring steel teeth that last up to three times longer than aluminium, and aluminium cores that are 70 percent light than steel, if anyone has the credentials to back up ambitions such as these, Supersprox certainly does. DJ says that the company has openings for importer / distributors in certain markets and will be at EICMA to meet potential new partners.
