R&G Racing has released a range of crash protection along with a Radiator Guard, Tail Tidy and Shocktube for both the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and Ninja 1000.
The British firm, the only crash protection manufacturer whose products qualify for insurance discounts in the UK, has worked fast on two of this year’s most exciting bikes to be first for protection with its Aero Crash Protectors, Engine Case Covers, Bar End Sliders, Fork Protectors, Spindle Sliders, Frame Plugs and Tail Tidy.
With the new Ninjas having only recently reached the dealerships, R&G can already offer world-leading protection and reassurance to owners. Starting with its Aero Crash Protectors - the tear drop-shaped sliders require no modifications to the fairing and attach to the engine mounting points. Crafted from high-density Polyethylene (HDPE), these award-winning protectors are designed to wear and not shatter in the event of a crash, while reducing the amount of contact points in the event of a fall. R&G also utilizes a particular grade of steel bolts that help absorb an impact by bending, rather than snapping or twisting its mounting point on the bike.
For the 998cc and 1043cc inline-four engines, R&G offers hard-wearing Engine Case Covers that bolt on top of the existing clutch, generator and starter gear covers. These ‘second skins’ for the engine are made from a specially developed Polypropylene and require no modification to any of the standard parts or draining of the bike’s fluids to fit. Ground clearance is not affected.
Elsewhere on the green machines, R&G offers Bar End Sliders to help prevent the tank and bar-mounted levers from making contact with the ground while Fork Protectors perform a similar job for the brakes and suspension.
R&G provides a replacement Tail Tidy (fender eliminator) for the Ninja 1000 (ZX-10R coming soon) to substitute the standard hanger. The lightweight, powder coated aluminum unit allows the seat section to appear sharp as Kawasaki’s designers intended and features an integral LED number plate light while retaining the original turn signals (mini turn signals also available).
