Lightech for the BMW S 1000 R
In the last edition of IDN we featured internationally recognised parts and accessory specialist Lightech's new range of designs for the CB750 Hornet. This month, the Italian company has turned its attention to the BMW S 1000 R - "a dynamic roadster on the outside, with a superbike heart on the inside".
Leading the range of model-specific designs is its adjustable rearset, a top-selling product for which Lightech is a market leader with export sales for a wide range of models worldwide.
This new Lightech BMW S 1000 R rearset comes with a fresh and modern design, with brand-new and ergonomic heel guards that enhance rider performance with a package of small details that add up to a significant upgrade on the stock BMW design.
Precision-machined from billet T6 heat-treated 7075 (zinc alloy) aluminium, this rearset design allows both standard and reverse shifting - with a complete suite of spare parts and optional accessories available to allow customisation.
The chain adjuster (TEBM003), available in black, red, gold and cobalt, allows a more precise and easier adjustment compared to the OEM design, simply by rotating the knob located at the end of the chain adjuster - each click corresponds to a shift/movement of 0.25 mm. A metric scale engraved on both sides of the chain adjuster makes adjustment simple.
Another best-selling Lightech product is its licence plate holder kit (p/n KTARBM111), which is designed to complement the lines of the bike. It is sold complete with approved licence plate light and reflector and is made to comply with the appropriate regulations.
Equipped with a bracket for OEM LED turn signals, it can be customised with coloured washers on the sides.
This year has also seen Lightech develop a new range of brake levers, with a better and more precise adjustment system (p/n KLEV134). The kit is available in three versions - the "J" version with a totally black finish, the "K" version with coloured rubber inserts, and the "H" version (new for 2023), which features new ergonomic geometry with an increased curvature. All versions are precision-machined from lightweight magnesium and aluminium.
Staying true to the ethos that "it is the details that matter", Lightech also offers fuel tank caps in two options - a spin-on locking fuel tank cap and a quick release design (in black, red and cobalt), an oil filler cap, chain covers, mirrors, stands and much more.
