Seen here for Honda's popular Africa Twin, and compatible with the OE handlebar, parts and accessory specialist Gilles Tooling's 2DGT adjustable handlebar riser gives a maximum of up to 25 mm increased height for the handlebars, compared to the original, and up to 7 mm of forward and backward adjustment - from such relatively small numbers a huge variance in geometry and ergonomics can be achieved.

Additional Gilles custom options for the 1,000 cc parallel-twin CRF1000L include this ACMA top yoke nut CNC-machined from 7075 zinc alloy aluminium (Ergal), available in a selection of anodised colours, and ACM titanium rear axle nut in titanium - both featuring Gilles' patented pin interlock anti-rotation device.

The RCT adjustable shift lever is machined and anodised, with ball bearing for play-free running and a toe piece with double eccentric multiple axis height and length adjustment - position 1 for between 8 and 33 mm shorter than the original toe piece position, position 2 for between 11 mm wider and 12 mm shorter than the original toe piece position.

The RCT kit can be used together with the standard Honda rearset or Gilles' own advanced design super strong footpegs with rubber insert for improved comfort and vibration isolation - add Gilles' RGK2 detent pillion turning joints with any of the up to 40 mm lowerable footpeg styles and extensions for 360 degree, 24 click/20 mm adjustability.

Gilles design, manufacture and test in-house, and in the case of the RCT-RK-04-KIT they report an 8400 Nm breaking load - making it a very stable part. Gilles' advanced technology and manufacturing techniques include CAD Solidworks design and construction simulation to optimise component performance and 3D printing for on time prototyping and resource conservation - all backed up by DIN-ISO 9001 quality certification.
