Unit Garage - Adventure accessory kits
The brainchild of former racer Fabio Marcaccini, Unit Garage (based in the hills near Rimini, Italy) is a special and custom parts, accessory and model-specific kits vendor that specialises in products "for riders with adventure programmed into their riding DNA".
Marcaccini swapped the European 250 cc Championship (in which he rode for 'Team Italy') for the first of his five consecutive Paris-Dakar rallies in 1997 - back when it really was from Paris to Dakar - and along with commercial partner and industrial designer Michiel Verstockt has built a business that sells through some 350 dealers in Europe - from Estonia, Sweden and Denmark to Germany, Benelux, France, Italy, Spain and elsewhere.
Seen here is an example of one of the company's kit offerings, a modular selection for the Yamaha Ténéré 700 - similar offerings are available for models from BMW, Triumph, Ducati, Husqvarna, Moto Guzzi, Kawasaki, Mash and the new Harley-Davidson Pan America - with a wide range of universal fitments also available, such as hard and soft luggage, apparel and front fenders.
Titanium muffler with visible welding
Homologated with titanium silencer body, the heat shield and stainless steel fitting has visible welding "in perfect 'Rally Raid' style". It weighs 2,200 g and has a removable dB killer; mounts easily without making any changes to the bike. It is available in both black and natural titanium (approval report provided).
Atlas aluminium bag frames
This complete set of luggage frames in stainless steel allows mounting of its popular Atlas aluminium cases - "integrating perfectly with the rest of the bike, they are lighter than stock and ship complete with mounting kit and screws. Our accessories are designed to be compatible with each other (except in exceptional cases). They can be easily mounted on the bike in the original configuration or in combination with our luggage racks with passenger handles. They can be used comfortably with the passenger on board and are compatible with all our kits or accessories".
Exhaust manifold without catalyst
Stainless steel racing exhaust manifold kit without catalyst. "Made by hand, they weigh much less than the original and improve the whole engine delivery". No ECU modifications are required.
Rear carrier with passenger grab handles
This rear carrier completes the rear and is equipped with comfortable grab handles for the passenger. For solo riding, a rigid aluminium top case can be mounted but still has an acceptable centre of gravity. It has a matt black finish 2 mm and is made from stainless steel, the max load is 10 kg, and it is "compatible with our Atlas top case".
