Woodcraft Technologies with Rides Done Right

Woodcraft Technologies

In 2018, when I started getting serious about track days I teamed up with Woodcraft and put their rearsets on my R1 and R3. And in 2019, when I decided to setup my bikes to go racing, I added an R6 to the herd and then fully equiped my primary bikes with their clip ons, rearsets, lever guards, toe guards, and tire warmers.

Their intro... based in Winchendon, Massachusetts right here in the good ol' USA, Woodcraft Technologies, Inc. is the brain child of Eric Wood, who founded the company in 1996. Backed with a racing pedigree and using the latest in industrial design techniques, Woodcraft makes some of the best motorcycle accessories on the market. From their innovative three-piece clip-ons to rearsets, case savers, frame sliders and even tire warmers, Woodcraft uses high end materials and countless hours of R&D to create premium American made products that give riders and racers a competitive advantage on or off the track. In addition to their own products, Woodcraft has teamed up with Armour Bodies, Cycle Mount and Servo Buddy to bring these other excellent products to the US market.

Woodcraft Technologies Clip-Ons for 2013 Yamaha R1, 2016 Yamaha R6, and 2015 Yamaha R3

I had several reasons for switching to aftermarket clip-ons: better riding position, replaceable parts, solid mount for the hand guards. The quality is excellent - which you expect from Woodcraft. The clip-ons were a huge improvement over the stock position which totally sucks on this series R1, making this a mandatory update in my opinion. For the R3 these come in two styles: straight mount and forward mount; they suggested the forward mount since I was racing and I'm glad I went with that (although you have to mod your dashboard mount). Hand guards are mandatory for many if not all racing organizations, and don't settle for those cheap ones as they mount terribly and are basically worthless (I had them on my CBR954 in J2TD)... the Woodcraft lever guards mount really secure (note: use Blue thread lock to secure).

Woodcraft Technologies Tire Warmers for 2016 Yamaha R6 and 2015 Yamaha R3

The 2019 season was my first time ever using tire warmers. I used them with my R11 Bridgestones all season and they were amazing. My pit crew (my wife) had no problems learning how to put them on and take them off quickly. The side curtains are great at holding the heat in, and their quick disconnects took the worry out of messing anything up. Make it easy on yourself and order the optional 31-2500 soft carrying cases for easy storage.

Woodcraft Technologies Toe Guards

55-1100 Woodcraft Wide Coverage Toe Guard Kit

If you race toe guards are required in most organizations. These devices help protect your body parts from getting caught between the chain and sprocket. As you can imagine, these would be wise to have on your street bikes as well (if you like all of your body parts).

Woodcraft Technologies Rearsets for Yamaha R1, R6, and R3

The foot controls are one of the most vital connections you have with your motorcycle. Their Rearset Kits use OEM pedals whenever possible to give you additional options and make spares easy to find. Their Full Kits include Woodcraft's 3-piece Pedals giving an even stronger assembly and continuing their tradition of easy part replacement. The full rearset kit consists of the rearset plates, footpegs and all of the needed hardware to install the kit properly, plus a complete brake pedal and shift pedal with an adjustable toe peg.
