PRO GuIDe WRP tapered design “Pro-Bars” Wind Trading’s WRP “Pro-Bar” is a MXGP World Champion handlebar that is claimed to be “one of the strongest and lightest handlebars available on the market and used by top motocross teams such as Team Yamaha Factory Racing and Team Honda Assomotor”. Made in Italy from 7075-T6 alloy, the Pro- Bar handlebars feature 28.6 mm oversized tubing in the clamping area. The tapered design ensures these handlebars will withstand the hardest crashes while “still offering a perfect flex ratio”. They are shot-peened and anodised finished for increased surface hardness; the left grip area is knurled to prevent slipping. The handlebars come complete with an injected polyurethane pad covered by a shiny sub- Featherlite throttle cables for ZZR1400 Motorcycle control specialist Venhill Engineering now produces replacement pattern Featherlight throttle cables for Kawasaki’s muscular sports touring ZZR1400. Available for the 2006-2015 ‘standard’ and ABS models, the new cables are almost identical to the factory-fitted items in appearance, but “are made in the UK to a higher standard, for a smoother throttle action and improved durability – they simply work better and for longer”. Each set features Venhill's high-quality Featherlight cabling, which includes stainless steel inner wire, for minimum stretch, running through a PTFE liner for reduced friction and a lighter action – which also removes the need for lubrication. The cables are ‘Bird-caged' – a special process applied to the end of the inner wire, which allows solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger. This process adds extra strength and durability, helping to reduce cable breakage when put under repeated stress and pressure – adding real peace of mind when riding longer distances. They are available in a choice of coloured outers for riders who want to personalise their machine.
