Vibration-reducing
handlebar caps
Seen here for the Yamaha R6, Italian parts
manufacturer LighTech’s dynamic bar end caps are
more than just protectors, but weight-calibrated bar
end balancers that increase the anti-vibration
function as well as protect the ends of those
expensive clip-ons.
Their weight is up to 100 percent heavier than the
less sturdy aluminium equivalents used as standard
by the motorcycle manufacturers, and with reduced
vibrations comes improved handling, especially in
corners, improved suspension response and reduced
fatigue, as well as improved riding enjoyment.
Available in six colours - black, red, gold, silver,
cobalt blue and green – to colour-match the looks of
most of the popular sports bike models from Yamaha,
BMW, Aprilia, Ducati, Honda, MV Agusta, Kawasaki,
Suzuki and Triumph.
They are also a perfect colour and protection system
match for other LighTech parts and accessories,
including their axle sliders and crash pads. LighTech
CNC precision-machine each of its products from a
single solid block of high-grade, high-strength,
lightweight aluminium alloy.
Founded in 1997, LighTech manufactures and
distributes over 7,000 Ergal/aluminium alloy
products that are manufactured in six different
colours, plus over 400 titanium products and a host
of other accessories. LighTech has more than 2,500
authorised dealers all over the world.
Additionally available from LighTech are chain
adjusters, swingarm spools, brake and clutch levers
that deliver reduced weight and lever effort with
improved feel (soft touch inserts and folding
options offered), clip-on handlebars, licence plate
supports, protection systems, including
clutch/brake lever protection and guards, gas caps,
oil filler caps, brake/clutch reservoir caps, a
selection of carbon parts (front and rear fenders
and covers) and high strength, reduced weight
hardware options.
