NOLTLAREA02We are consistently first to market for new machines
Our products feature class-leading design, looks andfunctionality
We offer a huge depth of range, supplied from stock
Kits have a precision, bespoke fit, with full fitting
instructions and customer support.
Any modifications to the fairing are subtle andmostly hidden by the protector itself.
All kits have been designed in house and actually
fitted to the bikes. We do not take chances and guess
what might fit.
Our products have been tried and tested on roadand track for many years, so we can design fromexperience. We receive regular feedback from themany race teams who use our product year afteryear.

Innovation

We were the first company to use “compressionsleeves” inside our crash protectors, and also thefirst to use heat-treated bolts. Compression sleeves
add strength and enable the fitter to torque thebolt correctly. Heat-treated bolts are liable tobend on impact, as opposed to snapping off due tobrittleness.
We were also the first company to release clip-on
exhaust protectors – the range has now grown to an
impressive level, covering most machines.

Product Development

We develop our products in conjunction withthose in the know – everyday riders, dealers,
track schools and racers.

ent

Demand has grown rapidly since the inception of
R&G protectors and tail tidies. Inevitably, this has
meant that many other companies have started
offering apparently similar wares. Many of these are“general accessories” companies, wanting to “tickthat box”. No other company focuses so strongly on
this section of the motorcycle market.

Benefits of choosing
R&G Racing

If we do not believe that we can make a protection
kit for a particular machine that will perform well, wewill not make it. We are only interested in making
kits that will work. Linked to this ethos, you will findmany kits that require small fairing modifications for
mounting – simply because this enables the crashprotector to fit direct to the engine mount – thecornerstone of the bike and proven to be thestrongest mounting point. Remember, any kit can
only be as good as the mounting point! Manycompanies offer kits which are cheaper, but checkthe mounting point and/or thickness of material forsigns of compromise..

No compromise

R&G Racing

began its life in the late 1990s, making
precision parts for the aerospace and Formula
One industries. As motorcycling enthusiasts,
we recognised the need for high-quality crashprotection solutions and quickly gained areputation for market-leading innovation, which
remains with us to this day. Now we dedicate ourtime to building the R&G brand and reputation,
focusing on crash protection, cosmetic parts such as
licence plate holders (“tail tidies”), workshop itemsand merchandise. More on these later.

We recently released a new breed of crash protectors,
which we call “Aero” style – the protectors arein keeping with the angular styling of the latest
machines, and also feature clip-in end caps to cover
the centre of the protector and hide the head of thebolt.

The latest list of teams and schools putting their faith inour protectors is too long to name, but here are a few
examples: California Superbike School (USA and UK),
Phase One Endurance, Team Blackhorse Yamaha, Co-Ordit

apRider feedback: After being inundated withrequests for a lightweight, attractive, easy-to-fit andkeenly-priced radiator guard, we brought out a range in2007, which is going from strength to strength.

Dealer requirements:

We offer a holder for the Honda Averto alarm, to use inconjunction with our tail tidy for the CBR1000RR8, sothat the fitter does not need to compromise the tail tidy
in any way.

Track schools:

Our knee sliders were developed with feedback fromthe California Superbike School in the UK. According toAndy Ibbott (School Director), they offer the best feelof any knee sliders he has used. Also our engine casesliders were tested by the School before release of thefirst application.
As we were happy with the results (abrasion, groundclearance etc.) we proceeded with expanding the range.

Scrutineers are getting very strict regarding toe
guards and how much space is left between theguard and the teeth of the rear sprocket. Road
Racing hero Ryan Farquhar came to us with arequest to make a toe guard which would passscrutineering, even when the wheel is set a longway back for road racing.
Our new “Road Racing Toe Guard” hasan unprecedented level of adjustment, has anextended sweep-back to guard the sprocket andis made from an ultra-strong and flexible hybrid
high-density polyethylene.

Racing

We first sponsored V&M Racing and Sanyo Honda
around the turn of the millennium, with riders
such as Glen Richards, Chris Vermeulen and thelate David Jefferies using and testing our products.
Later we supported MSS Discovery Kawasaki, TAS
Suzuki, Jamie Robinson..

Modern motorcycles are designed to weighas little as possible. The downside of thisis that there are very few places
you can mount crash protectors
on the machine which haveenough strength to takea direct impact without
breaking.
Many companies make crash protectors which fit
onto completely unsuitable places on a bike, such as
6mm fairing screw holes, laterally-mounted bracketry(which could fold on impact and damage the engine)or unsupported frame spars, which could easily bend orbreak. In our experience, the only place on most modern
bikes capable of dissipating these kinds of forces isthe point where the frame meets the engine: thecornerstone of the bike.

Engine Case Sliders:

Our engine case sliders are made from the samehigh-density polyethylene which is famously usedin our Crash Protectors. Given its proven wearing
properties, why try to re-invent the wheel? Anothersimilarity is that we again use compression sleeves
within the product, so that the replacement engine
screws can be torqued accurately. These products
often save substantial engine damage and have kept
many endurance teams in the running. They work
perfectly in tandem with our Crash Protectors, whichcannot always save engine casings on their own.

Our protectors have no gimmick features, such as
rotating or alloy heads. Rotating heads help tokeep a crashing bike moving, which is the lastthing we want! Alloy heads could create a sparkand ignite spilling fuel. They also have a habitof shearing off or digging into the tarmac andflipping the bike. Ours use a special grade ofhigh-density polyethylene, which has been provento scrub speed and wear evenly. They are fitted withcompression sleeves running through the inside,
for added strength and to enable the bolt to be
torqued and hold tight. All of our replacement
bolts are heat-treated, making them unlikely
to shear or snap on impact. Kits feature
precision-machined aluminium spacers whereneeded, meaning a perfect fit every time andremoving the need to flex the fairing uponfitting.

do you know the cost of replacing fork
legs and callipers, which can easily
be damaged in even a minor spill?

Inspired by the off-road market, fork
protectors are an inexpensive meansof protecting these major parts andare very simple to install, with nopermanent modification to the bike.
Many supermoto race and trackorganisers now insist on these, in orderto protect the surface of race tracks.

Swingarm Protectors:

everything we said about Fork Protectors applies to this product too– except, of course, we are talking about protecting another major chassis
part – your swingarm. Due to modern construction methods, aluminium
swingarms are regularly written off, despite some damage looking minimal– don’t let your customer put his/her bike at risk!

paddock stand bobbins have two
distinct disadvantages: they are small,
making them harder to locate onto
paddock stand hooks, and, being made ofaluminium, they quickly look old and tatty.
Our Cotton Reels are large and easy tolocate, marrying up perfectly with ourPaddock Stand Hooks.
They are hard-wearing and made of ourusual high-density polyethylene. In mostcrash scenarios they are also extremely usefulat protecting expensive swingarms, featuring
compression sleeves and heat-treated bolts, designed
to be more likely to bend than to snap.

Offset Cotton Reels: On some of thelatest sports machines, there are no paddock standbobbin screw holes (e.g. YZF-R125), or there is arisk of the standard exhaust hitting anything
protruding from the paddock stand bobbin
screw holes (GSXR600/750K8- and ZX10-R’08-) under extreme suspension travel.
Offset Cotton Reels are our solution tothis. They mount from the back axle andstill enable the user to check and maintainchain alignment, while placing the Cotton
Reel rearwards of the swingarm. The Cotton
Reels can be separated from the blackanodised aluminium mounting plate, so they
can be used for rear wheel removal.

Rear Spindle Sliders:

These are Cotton Reels which aremounted to a stainless steel bar, running
through the rear axle of the motorcycle.
The machine can be lifted, using apaddock stand in conjunction with ourPaddock Stand Hooks, and the Spindle
Sliders are designed to offer protection tothe swingarm in the event of a crash.
We make Spindle Sliders for machineswith dual swingarms as well as singlesided ones. When using the product ona single-sided swingarm, it is advisable
to use our Paddock Stand Hooks (codeSH0001), as they feature an extra-longbar, to enable correct lateral weightdistribution.

Bar End Sliders are specially-machined, weighted bar ends, with nylon end
caps. The steel body of the Bar End Slider does
not normally come into contact with the tarmac– just the nylon end cap, making it another crashprotector. R&G Bar End Sliders are developed
bespoke for each bike and designed to minimise
high-speed wobble by offering a subtle damping
effect. They also retain their good looks muchbetter than original bar ends and let’s not talkabout cheap aftermarket bar ends, which leavehands numb from vibration!
