DescriptionThe whole story▼
An unfinished bar end on an R6 looks exactly like an unfinished bar end. Two caps per set for the R6, anodised aluminium, 26 g the pair. Supplied as a pair, so one order covers both sides of the R6. LighTech lists it for the R6.
Key Features
- Required to assemble a LighTech 400-series bar on the R6
- Sold in pairs
- No approval paperwork is supplied — see the note below
- 4 anodised colours: Black, Gold, Orange, Silver
- No modification to the R6
- Covers the R6 across 22 model years (2005 to 2026)
Fitment
LighTech catalogues the CAP001 for the R6 (2005 to 2026). For LighTech's 400-series handlebars they are not optional. If in doubt, compare with the part on the bike rather than with the catalogue line.
The Finishing Piece
LighTech's 400-series bars do not assemble without them. LighTech machines the CAP001 from aluminium and anodises it, with the logo in the centre. A stock item, no waiting time.
Materials and Build
Aluminium, machined and then anodised rather than painted. LighTech gives the weight as 26 g. Italian production, like the rest of the catalogue.
What You Get
LighTech supplies the CAP001 as a pair, 26 g, not singly. That is enough for both ends of one fitting on the R6. A LighTech 400-series bar on the R6 cannot be assembled without them.
What You Get
The CAP001 is supplied as a pair. Caps only — the parts they finish are ordered separately.
In the Workshop
The CAP001 presses or screws onto the end of the fitting. Clean the threads before assembly and do not force anything. The standard condition of the R6 can be restored at any time.
What the Paperwork Says
Nothing in the CAP001 box constitutes a type approval. An added part on the R6 can come up at a technical inspection. Ask before you fit it to a registered R6.
