“The teardrop-shaped protectors are made from high-density Polyethylene (HDPE), developed to wear and not shatter. R&G also utilises a particular grade of steel bolts to help absorb an impact by bending, rather than snap or twist its mounting point on the bike,” a company statement reads.
For the exposed 1050cc engine, R&G offers Engine Case Covers (£64.99) and Engine Case Sliders (£34.99), which are made from a similar material to the crash protectors and attach to the bottom of the existing cases without adversely affecting ground clearance.
R&G also offers an aluminium Radiator Guard (£59.99) and an Oil Cooler Guard (£39.99) for the expensive cooling systems and a Shocktube (£24.99) that encloses the rear shock, allowing heat and moisture out but nothing else in.
Also available are Fork Protectors (£29.99) and Spindle Sliders (£29.99) that attach through the front and rear axles to protect the suspension, swingarm and braking components. Discrete Exhaust Protectors (£24.99) cover the underseat cans while Bar End Sliders (£24.99) help to protect the levers and tank.
Finally, the R&G Tail Tidy (£84.99), crafted from aluminium and black powder coated, replaces the standard numberplate hanger and light, while the Frame Plugs protect and cover the holes in the frame where the swingarm is mounted.
