Top-notch US parts maker Graves Motorsport has new UK-based supplier for its exhausts and race parts range. ... Scroll down for the full story
Anyone who knows anything about the US AMA racing scene will have heard of Graves Motorsports. The Californian firm is behind some of the 'winningest' racebikes of the past few years, including Ben Bostrom's Supersport championship winner this year.
Luckily, Graves also sells a full range of its snappy kit for us mere mortals and our road bikes. And UK firm Race Performance Parts is importing and selling the parts direct in Britain. We've had a box of the saucy items in for photographs, and the quality of the parts is pretty impressive. We're particularly impressed with the finish on this carbon fibre slip-on can for Yamaha's R6 - it's properly luscious, and at £270, isn't a mile off in terms of cost either.
We've also seen a super-light full titanium race exhaust system, engine cases and some gorgeous rearsets, all of which have a purposeful, smart design. The rearsets in particular are designed with track offs in mind - small break-off ends prevent frame damage, and each part is replaceable.
But enough of our lusting - click onto www.raceperformanceparts.co.uk and check it all out for yourself.
