Motovation Protection Gear Hits the Streets of Willow Springs Raceway for the 2012 Aprilia Masters Press Launch - www.apriliamasters.com/#play
Aprilia held a 2012 Press Launch at Willow Springs Raceway allowing a handful of lucky riders to get some seat time on the Aprilia RSV4R, Tuono V4, Shiver 750 and Dorsoduro 1200. The goal was to allow riders of various skill levels to hit the track on the new bikes and get some real world feedback. The rider testimonials prove that Aprilia has stepped up the level of competition and has brought plenty of power to the party. When we were approached by the event organizers to provide the best level of protection Motovation offers for ALL the bikes in the launch, we were both proud and thrilled to be a part of the event. Each bike was outfitted with Motovation Frame, Fork and Axle Sliders. Check out all the rider testimonial videos here

Since the moment it first rolled out of the paint booth, the Motovation Accessories Custom Streetfighter has been constantly turning heads and gaining street credibility.

Motovation Accessories Frame Sliders Featured in Motorcyclist Magazine - February 2011 - Motorcyclist Magazine -www.motorcyclistonline.com
"Crash protectors, crash bobbins, fairing protectors or frame sliders - whatever you call them, they're designed to defend outrageously expensive bodywork and structural components if your bike goes horizontal. Motovation's frame sliders are made from UV-resistant nylon, and are specially designed for each application to provide the most effective protection - not just the cheapest manufacturing cost or easiest installation. They're available for the most popular sportbikes starting at $80." - Henning, Ari Motorcyclist Magazine February 2011. See full article scan here
Motovation Kawasaki Z1000 Frame Sliders - November 2010 Super Street Bike Magazine - www.superstreetbike.com
Motovation recognizes that the easiest mounting configuration is not always the best for protection. Research and testing has proved that Motovation's mounting points will offer the best protection in a crash, but quality materials also play a crucial role. Aesthetics and quality of workmanship should also be considered when choosing the right frame slider for your bike as well. Motovation sliders use only high quality materials and mounting points that are proven to be the best for each specific model, so spend a little now or a lot later. See full article here

It's one part racer, one part retro and all parts cool. "We wanted something that was crazy but not so much as to take away from the already stunning Streetfighter. So we went with a dark look and small details like gold foil inlays, hand pin striping and subtle crystal texturing so that every time someone looked at the bike, they saw something new," Lee said.

have a new range of sportbike protection accessories that include
front axle
mounted fork sliders, rear axle sliders and engine crankcase
covers/sliders. Designed from the ground up to be an

custom made pucks that fit your bikes' axles perfectly for
the best
protection possible. We have them for the Aprilia RSV1000/Factory/Falco/RS250/Tuono,
Ducati S2, S4, Monsters, 748-999, MV Agusta Brutale and F4,

Frame
sliders. That's how we started and now we are your source for quality Aprilia,
Ducati, BMW, Buell, Harley, Honda, KTM, MV Agusta, Triumph, Suzuki, Yamaha and
Kawasaki sportbike exhausts, carbon fiber and accessories too!
It started
with a couple of guys just trying to get quality accessories
for our sportbikes. It actually began with frame sliders, after all
fairing
panels were really expensive and often took weeks to get even
if you
were able to afford them. If you did a lot of trackdays and
rode your bike on the street as well you know what exactly
we mean.
Pretty
soon our buddies saw how good these Motovation frame sliders
worked and wanted some for themselves too! Well...the rest
is
sort of history as we soon saw a niche for well designed
and good quality sportbike accessories at an affordable
price.
Take
the time to browse our site. If you don't see the frame
slider product, exhausts or accessory you're looking
for, it is most likely not in the catalog or we don't have
a picture of it yet. If it's not in the catalog...feel free to contact us and we can get you anything you need.
Presently
we have products for Aprilia, Benelli, BMW, Buell, Harley Davidson, Ducati, Honda, MV Agusta,
Suzuki, Triumph, KTM, Yamaha and Kawasaki sportbikes. Including
frame sliders for models like the Honda RVF400, X11, CB1000RR, Suzuki
GSR600
and the Ducati MH400 Monster which are rare in the US.
Our Motovation product line currently includes: frame sliders, bar
end counter balancers, clutch, swingarm sliders and we
are slowly expanding into other great products and brands. We should tell you that we don't want to be just another motorcycle store with an everything for everyone type of philosopy. We will only represent products that we think are best of class and from companies that share our passion for quality products and superior customer service. We are growing fast, so keep
an eye out for updates here and ask your local bike shop
to call us
if they need to stock up on Motovation, DNA, Rizoma, Arrow, Melotti, Cox Racing products, SC-Project products, Zard, EVR, etc.
Take
a moment and read our article on frame
sliders design and selection. It'll give you
a good idea of the philosophy behind these frame slider
designs. And don't forget to check out what some
