DescriptionThe whole story▼
The 896 cc DORSODURO 1200 shows everything, which also means everything is exposed. The LighTech WAPAP401 kit answers that with a nylon outer body over a machined Ergal insert, 200 g for the set. It is offered in 4 colours: Black, Gold, Red, Silver. The 896 cc DORSODURO 1200 carries it on standard fixings, so nothing is drilled.
Key Features
- One WAPAP401 design serves both the front and the rear axle of the DORSODURO 1200
- Front and rear of the DORSODURO 1200 are both covered by the single WAPAP401 kit
- At 200 g the WAPAP401 is the cheapest thing on the DORSODURO 1200 to sacrifice
- Available in 4 finishes for the DORSODURO 1200: Black, Gold, Red, Silver
- The WAPAP401 costs less than the smallest part it defends on a DORSODURO 1200
- Protects the fork bottoms and swingarm ends of the DORSODURO 1200 in a low-speed fall
- Anodised to LighTech's standard finish across the whole WAPAP401
Construction and Material Quality
The outer body of the WAPAP401 is nylon, chosen for elasticity rather than hardness. An Ergal core gives the WAPAP401 its structure while the nylon gives it its give. Replacing the insert costs a fraction of the kit, which is how it is meant to work.
How Axle Protection Works
The geometry is the whole argument: the WAPAP401 ends further outboard than the fork bottom. Nylon on the outside of the WAPAP401 deforms under impact and springs back afterwards. A scuffed WAPAP401 is renewed at the insert, not at the kit, which is the point.
Compatibility and Installation
LighTech lists the WAPAP401 for the Aprilia DORSODURO 1200. It uses the mounting points the DORSODURO 1200 already carries, so nothing is drilled or fabricated.
In the Workshop
The 200 g of the WAPAP401 arrive as one boxed kit for the DORSODURO 1200. Offer the WAPAP401 up before tightening anything; the DORSODURO 1200 fairing line decides the final position. Colour is the only choice to make — 4 of them, Black, Gold, Red, Silver, all fitting the DORSODURO 1200 the same way.
What Is in the Box
The WAPAP401 ships as a complete axle set for the DORSODURO 1200: shells, inserts and the bolts that hold them. If the DORSODURO 1200 needs a second kit later, the WAPAP401 number is the only thing to quote.
Type Approval
No approval documentation is included with the WAPAP401. In Germany a protector that stands proud of the DORSODURO 1200 silhouette can be raised at the vehicle inspection. Ask before you fit it if the bike is registered. Track days and paddock use are unaffected.
