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 .
