A special adapter is required for fitting to the original handlebars; this is available separately in black for €33.43.

They are priced at 284.14 euros.

Protection and style: frame protection and ring kits
The shock absorber frame protection kit safeguards the motorbike from impacts thanks to a structure made of aluminium, magnesium, nylon and shock-absorbing TPE rubber, supplied in a basic black configuration at €104.80.
