Description
Gilles Footrest System Factor-X / FXR
GILLES.TOOLING FACTOR-X (FXR) Footrest System:
Racing pedigree, low weight, high rigidity and an extremely sleek design, these are the key features of the Factor-X Racing Footrest System from Gilles. No-frills design means top value for money. But certainly doesn't mean cutting corners: the precision CNC-machined footrest system features foot levers with double ball bearings, while the rigid footrests have three adjustment settings.
Features:
- Less show, more performance
- Years of World Superbike experience
- Racing pedigree with aesthetic design
- Perfect balance of lightweight construction and torsional rigidity
- Unique, patented gilles.tooling design
- Double ball-bearing design for gearshift and brake lever
- Rigid racing footrest with triple adjustment
- Includes aluminium heel protector on each side, unless indicated otherwise
Important:
With some FXR footrest systems, a model-specific street legalisation kit must also be ordered (see "Important information"), as this is part of the TÜV component test certificate. Although it is technically possible to use the footrest system without the street legalisation kit, this will invalidate the type approval, so it is not permissible on public roads!
The following applies for vehicles from EURO 4: For these footrest systems to be registered with the German Technical Inspection Association (TÜV), which allows them to be used legally on public roads, they must have folding footrests. The folding footrests must be purchased individually as accessory products, see "compatible products".

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.
Info
This product is made of high-quality CNC-machined aluminium and will look great on your motorbike.
To ensure that it gives you many years of service, please observe the following care instructions:
1. After installing the product, and each time you wash your motorbike, apply a wax-based care product, e.g. Procycle Polishing Wax, Order no. 10004923 for protection against wind and weather. You may need to repeat the application after an outing in winter weather, rain or salty air (near the coast).
2. Remove any corrosion as soon as possible using a standard aluminium polish (e.g. Autosol Aluminium Polish, Order no. 10004421).
Info
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.
