Yamaha R1 2015 Frame Slider Kit Complete

Woodcraft frame slider kits are now available for the newly redesigned 2015 Yamaha R1 Superbike

50-0454  Yamaha R1 '15+ Frame Slider Base Kit Complete
               (50-1599 pucks included)
 
The 2015 R1 has a special set of frame sliders with a brand new puck design just for this model.  The frame on the right side sits flush with the bodywork and there are a number of electronics right against the bodywork on the left side, making the sliders particularly important.  Our special new pucks have tapered edges - giving the protection you need while making the puck much more likely to slideover an obstacle as opposed to catch on it.  We really like this new design!  As with all our slider kits we have maintained our patented 2-piece slider design, making these the most durable sliders on the market. Our perpendicular mounting bolt allows the slider to be solid rather than hollow (like other sliders) which provides nearly 50% more material on the road and easy access for changing pucks after a fall.

All of our covers are 100% CNC machined from 6061 Aluminum billet to give you both great looks and exceptional strength.


On this ignition trigger cover protector we've added an adhered rubber pad to the inside. This provides a cushion between the protector and the stock cover.
The patented replaceable stainless steel or aluminum skid plate adds wear resistance in the most vulnerable area and can keep your cover both functional and looking good through multiple crashes. The plate is internally bolted so that you don't have to worry about trying to remove bolts with the heads ground off.

Woodcraft Generation III Tire Warmers

by Woodcraft Technologies
Yamaha R1 2015 Rear Set Kit

Proudly MADE IN USA Gen III Dual Temp Warmers

Our Gen III Dual Temps warmers feature many upgrades over our popular Dual Temp tire warmers that were released in 2008. We went back to the drawing board completely redesigning many of the components. The result is what we feel to be the best multi-temp tire warmer on the market today. Try a set and we're sure you'll agree they are the best warmers you have ever used.

 

NEW Features

Polartec® Windpro®- A new revolution in thermal fabrics. The tight knit construction blocks 95% of the heat robbing wind.
New Thermostats - Our new thermostats hold tighter temperature ranges and are more durable than ever, guaranteeing a perfect heat cycle every time.
New Construction- We went through the entire warmer from end to end and upgraded every seam. Our new warmers are double stitched with a toughNomex® thread ensuring they look good and will last through years of abuse.

Key Features:


Even Heat Distribution - The small gap heating element leaves smaller spaces between the coils, ensuring the whole tire is heated evenly, virtually eliminating cold spots.
Great Insulation - Our special insulation is extremely efficient allowing us to keep the warmer construction thin while still providing great performance. You will love how easy the low profile design makes installation and removal of the warmers.
Side Curtains - Our fleece side curtains eliminate the #1 cause of heat loss by protecting the tires from side winds. In many cases we have seen up to a 15 degree increase in rim temperature compared to warmers without them.
Easy to install /
 remove - A large one piece velcro strap secures the warmer to the tire without hooks or cords getting in the way.
Durable - We used only the best components and subjected all internal connections to rigorous tension tests to be sure these warmers are built to last.
LED Indicator Light - Pick your tire temp with the flick of a switch the display 'on' light is red and turns to green when the tire is at temperature.
Voltage: All Woodcraft tire warmers are designed to run off a 120V power source. Generator users will need 1000 watts minimum to run a set.

Free duffel bag with every set!

Woodcraft Technologies 2015 Yamaha FZ07 Clipon Adapter Plate



2015 Yamaha FZ07
Clipon Adapter Plate:  12-0407AP

Our handlebar raiser system changes the OEM designed feel of the bike by changing the angle and placement of the handlebars to accommodate the more aggressive rider.
This is a special billet plate that bolts in place of the OEM handlebar and gives FZ07 riders a more aggressive riding position.
The Woodcraft riser plate system gives your bike a custom look while making the handlebar placement adjustable with the use of our various riser heights. Handlebar tubes which are kept as separate pieces allow for inexpensive replacement in the event of a crash.

Our exclusive design will set your bike apart at the race track or your local bike night.
     This adapter plate can be run with the clipon risers either pointed up or down, giving riders the option for a 15 minute changeover from a "street" to "track" position.   In addition, the use of standard handlebars allows for easy replacements and less damage in the event of a crash.  These billet aluminum units look great and allow riders to assume a much more natural stance for sport riding.

The drop from the OEM bar height (measured from the end of the bar) is as follows:

  • 1.5 inch riser "up" - 2.25 inches
  • 1 inch riser "up" - 2.75 inches
  • 1 inch riser "down" - 3.25 inches
  • 1.5 inch riser "down" - 3.75 inches (best for racing)
Retail Price: $239.99
Part number        Description
12-1407                Yamaha FZ07 Adapter Plate with 1 inch risers
12-2407                Yamaha FZ07 Adapter Plate with 1.5 inch risers

MOTARD Rental Bikes & 3 Day Racer Performance Improvement Guarantee!

ID: 42350Starting with our June events, Penguin will now be offering 2015 Kawasaki KXF450 Motard rental bikes! Ever see the motard racers at Loudon having a blast and want to join in? Do you know a dirt rider who is reluctant to try to track on a road bike? Do you know a kid who has only ridden dirt bikes and wants a fantastic way to get into riding the track? These bikes are an absolute blast, and should clear away a number of barriers for many riders who have perhaps had objections to trying out our sport in the past. Speaking from personal experience, motard bikes are incredibly fun to ride on the track. When I introduced my own son to the track, I put him on a motard (in the pouring rain that day) and he absolutely loved it. The tracks that we are offering these bikes (Loudon and Thompson) are two of the very best road courses for motard bikes in the country. We are looking forward to seeing the smiles on people's faces as they ride these awesome machines!


The Penguin 3 Day June Racer Performance Improvement Guarantee

Racers, if you want to drop your times - this is the way. We Guarantee it!

What's the program? Simple. Attend the three Penguin days in June - June 8th atThompson and the two day school at Loudon June 17-18
Why the three days? Most riders have run an event or two at NHMS already this season. The cobwebs are shaken off, and if you're like most riders you're riding a similar pace to last season (and maybe the season before that, and the season before that). To get out of the rut, many riders need to form new habits. Enter Thompson. This is not a track we race, so there is no pressure for lap times. The nature of the track has proven to be a fantastic place to work on technique (riding position, body inputs, etc...). With the lap time pressure gone, riders have shown the ability to actually focus on things that provide improvement for the LONG TERM! Enter Loudon With a day at Thompson under your belt, we take our two day program and give you focused 1 on 1 attention to take your improved technique and apply it to drop your times.
Who does it work for? Everyone. Newer riders - it's almost too easy. We've had guys drop 6 seconds a lap with this program (no kidding). We also just proved it again with an Expert level racer who did a two day program (one track day like Thompson and one race school). After our event he ran a personal best (fastest in years - riding the same bike) and beat several riders he had never beat before...and this guy is fast (approaching the 1:16 level on an SV).
What does it cost? $750 for the three days
What extras do I get? Every rider will get a free Garmin Video clip at NHMS with full GPS data
How many spots are there We are accepting 8 racers into this program
How do I sign up? Just go to the Penguin site and sign up for both events. The first 8 riders are eligible and we'll announce when the program is full.
