Frequently asked questions
Which vehicles can the Kappa KN1144 be fitted to?
According to the Kappa 2026 catalog, the KN1144 is designed for the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin from 2016-2017 and 2018-2019 with a manual gearbox. If you are not sure about your vehicle's version, send us the frame number and we will check it before shipping.
Is it also suitable for the Africa Twin DCT?
No. Kappa states that the KN1144 is not compatible with the CRF1000L Africa Twin DCT version, which has a dual-clutch gearbox. For the DCT, the Kappa catalog provides a different code, the KN1162, which is designated for the DCT version only. If you have any doubts, write to us before ordering.
Is a separate mounting kit required?
In the Kappa 2026 catalog entry, the KN1144 is not paired with any mounting kit that needs to be purchased separately. Kappa makes the 1144KNKITR hardware kit available as a spare, useful if the hardware needs to be replaced in the future: we can order it for you upon request.
Can I install it myself?
Kappa recommends having the KN1144 installed by a qualified mechanic. The engine guard attaches to the motorcycle at specific points on the model and must be correctly tightened and aligned: an experienced workshop will install it quickly and check that it does not interfere with other parts.
Is it an original Kappa product?
Yes. It is the original Kappa engine guard with the manufacturer's code KN1144 and EAN 8029871128059, new and in its original packaging. Kappa Moto is a GIVI S.p.A. Group brand that designs specific protection, luggage, and accessories for individual motorcycle models; Kappa products are made in Italy.
How can I check that it is suitable for my vehicle?
Check the compatibility table for your vehicle's make, model, version, and years: the KN1144 is designated by Kappa only for the CRF1000L Africa Twin with a manual gearbox. If you have any doubts, send us the frame number or a photo of the motorcycle and we will check it before shipping.
