If you own a sports bike or dont like hard panniers then the Ventura luggage system could be right for you. The Ventura bike pack system is made of several parts to custom build a kit suitable for your needs. First you start off with L-brackets which are model specific to your bike and fit neatly to the subframe, then a pack rack which is a tall removable rack to fit one of Ventura’s many bags. When you are not needing the bag you can quickly swap the tall pack rack for either a small sports rack or a grab handle. We have laready stocked up on the bags and racks and most L-brackets are available within a day or two in most cases. Some older bikes are now a special order and can take 2-3 weeks to arrive from New Zealand so plan ahead if you own a 1980′s or 1990′s bike.

We are stocking the full range of motorcycle seat cushions in both the top of the range Neoprene and the budget polyurethane. And ingenious design that allows you to stay in the saddle for long periods by spreading your load. What that basically means is, the Airhawk cushion uses pockets of air that spreads the weight of the rider over the seat area. On a normal saddle your weight is focused on 2 points which can cause pain and distract the rider. Air is more comfotable than gel.

Seeing behind you on a mega fast 2012 Fireblade is even more important, we all know why. Well, those lovely people at SW Motech have made some great new mirror extenders for the latest Honda Fireblade which will raise and widen the mirrors enough that you can actually see more than just your elbows. A custom machined block sits between the mirror base and the fairing placing the mirror in a much better position. The wiring for the indicator simply feeds through a hole in the extension.

Now supplied in a rather snazzy black colour and using very modern metal fibre technology which is thin and so flexible you hardly know they are there despite there being 2 chest panels and a kidney panel on the rear. Another brilliant addition to the new body warmer is the elasticaled sides which offers a better fit than the previous models which makes the Keis X10 a truly unisex garment. MCRR have been a dealer for Keis for many years and we keep the full range of clothing and accessories in stock.
For more information on the Keis X10 and the other clothing in the range visit www.motorcycle-road-and-race.co.uk

The only difference in spec between the 2 heated bodywarmers is a small pocket on the lower front edge to keep the heat controller which is on the X6. Please be aware that they are sized slightly different so please refer to our size guide to make sure you get the correct size, they are measured around the chest in inches.
We have 2010/11 spec X5′s selling for £74.99 and the 2011/12 spec X6′s for £84.99. As always we will also deliver them to your door free of charge for UK addresses.
Now its all cold outside we have filled our stock room with lots of Keis products. We have a brand new Keis X10 vest coming in mid December with a few new features and a cool new colour.

Exactly the same shape as the OE part so a perfect fit is guaranteed and the standard silencer will fit straight on. The ER6 and Versys are renowned for having rusty minging headers
