The first of a kind, this aftermarket antenna features a new profile and is 3.5cm shorter than the standard version but doesn’t loose any power or efficiency.

Kawada Stepped Body Reamer
Japanese company Kawada becomes the latest company to release its own body reamer, with this rather nice example. Featuring a black anodised finish, the lightweight handle and included aluminium tip protector are stylish yet functional, with the unique element of this tool being the cutting tip.
