Important notes
Gilles Rearset AS31GT
Here's the world's best selling multi-variable footrest system: the *AS31* by Gilles. This footrest system is made of high-strength aluminium al7075 and is available for many standard motorcycles. It has a variety of machined cut-outs which makes it ultra-light and the many threaded holes in the base plate allow the system to be swiftly adjusted in 10 mm increments to individual requirements. The AS31 offers many adjustment options: footrest, gearshift travel and distance from peg to lever.
Additional features:
- Optimised ergonomics provided by a rolling toe piece on the gearshift - which reduces the required shifting effort
- Reverse shifting is possible in most cases
- Gearshift/brake lever: double ball bearing design, zero play
- Carbon heel protector on one or both sides
- Supplied pre-assembled, i.e. the footrest system does not have to be assembled from individual components!
- With TÜV component test certificate
Sporty accessories for motorbikes
Each of the high-quality accessories engineered by Gerhard Gilles' company optimises both the functioning and the look of your motorbike. The company founder is a former motorbike racer and CNC machinist, so he knows exactly what keen bikers really want. The first customisable footrest systems he designed hit the nail on the head in the motorbike scene. And the same is true today for many other finely machined components from Gilles Tooling. The proof is clear to see in the reviews posted by Louis customers.
Technical accessories whose operational safety depends not only on their own strength and function, but also on proper installation on the vehicle, are often supplied with a TÜV (German Technical Inspection Association) certificate. The user is obliged to have such accessories immediately registered in the vehicle papers by a TÜV test centre. This also involves the TÜV inspector checking the vehicle's operational safety. A charge is made for such registration.
Today, TÜV reports are increasingly issued for specific types of vehicle. However, no manufacturer is able (e.g. for cost reasons) to have their products tested on all vehicles which might use them. If a vehicle model is not listed, it is the inspector who has to decide about registration on the basis of his technical expertise; the strength of the product and its roadworthiness are confirmed by the existing TÜV report.
Since 2002, TÜV only accepts component certificates which include verification of the manufacturer's quality management system according to the requirements of §19 Appendix XIX of the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) in the form of a valid certification document. Older reports can now only be used in exceptional circumstances in the course of a full technical inspection (Bauratabnahme), but the inspector is by no means obliged to make the entry in the papers.
This product is made of high-quality CNC-machined aluminium and will look great on your motorbike.
