SW-Motech Launch Full Range Of Accessories For The 2022 KLR650

Fresh new products to boost versatility of the legendary adventure machine.

Published on 07.22.2022

Over the years, SW-Motech has worked to develop aftermarket products to outfit the legendary KLR650 in all its iterations. Continuing this trend, the German accessories manufacturer has now announced a wide range of parts for the new KLR — which for 2022 received updates such as EFI, ABS, LED lighting, a fixed frame and more. The new line of products offers owners of the Gen-3 machine upgrades in protection, ergonomics, luggage capacity and more.

Crash Bars
