LighTech Aluminium Brake Lever Guard 148mm for OE Handlebar – Yamaha YZF-R1/R1M (2012–2026) ISS120RA + KPL311

Designed for riders who spend long hours in the saddle on both road and track, the LighTech ISS120RA brake lever guard delivers confident, all-day protection without adding unnecessary bulk or weight to your Yamaha YZF-R1 or R1M. At 148 mm in length, it offers a generous protective surface that keeps the brake lever shielded from accidental activation — whether you are navigating tight traffic or pushing hard on a trackday.

Key Features

• 148 mm guard length provides maximum coverage, reducing the risk of unintended brake actuation in close-contact situations on road or circuit.
• CNC-machined from high-grade aluminium for an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that suits both commuting and competition use.
• Anodised finish resists corrosion and maintains a clean, purposeful aesthetic across extended daily use.
• Includes dedicated adapter KPL311 for a precise, no-modification fit on the OE handlebar of the Yamaha YZF-R1 and R1M.
• Plug-and-play installation — no drilling, no cutting, no compromise to the stock setup.
• Available in seven anodised colours so the guard integrates seamlessly with your machine's livery.

Build Quality and Comfort Over Distance

The ISS120RA is CNC-machined from solid aluminium billet, a process that eliminates weak points and keeps the finished part light enough that you will never notice it is there — until it does its job. The anodised surface layer bonds at a molecular level with the aluminium substrate, meaning it will not chip, peel or fade over seasons of commuting and weekend track outings. The guard's geometry is shaped to sit flush alongside the lever without intruding on your natural hand position, so ergonomics and all-day comfort are preserved exactly as Yamaha intended.

Road, Trackday and Racing Use

On the street, the lever guard protects against the nudge of a passing vehicle, an errant jacket sleeve or any other everyday hazard that could trigger an unintended stop. At the track, where bikes and riders run in close formation, it adds a layer of safety that complements your protective gear. The 148 mm format is the longer of LighTech's two available lengths and is the preferred choice wherever maximum protection matters most. A matching clutch lever guard is available separately to complete the setup, and the 132 mm variant of the ISS120RA suits riders who prefer a more compact profile.
