- a clamp to be mounted on each of the handgrips of the bicycle or motorcycle including an outer surface and an inner surface delimiting a through opening extending along a first axis,
- at least one element for tightening said clamp or rather the respective inner surface on each handgrip,
- an accessory arm or a guard arm enbloc with or fixed or removably mountable on said clamp and designed to support said accessory,
- at least one element for connecting the accessory to said accessory arm or said guard arm,
- at least two shims or spacers having a different thickness and/or shape one with respect to the other, so that the kit is suitable for making it possible to mount the accessory on the handgrips with shape and/or size different from one another.
A kit for mounting an accessory on handgrips or handlebars of a bicycle or motorcycle, comprising:
- a clamp to be mounted on the handgrip or on the handlebar of the bicycle or motorcycle including an outer and an inner surface delimiting a through opening extending along a first axis,
- at least one element for tightening said clamp or rather a respective inner surface on the handgrip or the handlebar,
- an accessory arm or guard arm removably mountable on said clamp and designed to support said accessory,
- at least one element for connecting the accessory to said accessory arm or said guard arm,
- said accessory arm or said guard arm and said clamp including mutual connecting components or portions, so that said accessory arm or guard arm can be assembled/disassembled to/from said clamp due to the mutual connecting components or portions even after said clamp has been mounted on the handgrip or the handlebar owing to said at least one element for tightening and thus the assembly/disassembly step of said accessory arm or guard arm to/from said clamp is irrespective from the mounting/dismounting step of said clamp on the handgrip or the handlebar,
- wherein said clamp includes a protruding portion, whereas the accessory arm or guard arm is mountable on said protruding portion by means of at least one screw, bolt or rivet, and/or
- wherein said kit comprises a plate, said protruding portion being clamped among said plate and said accessory arm or guard arm, whereas said at least one screw, bolt or rivet is inserted in holes and/or slots aligned of said plate and said accessory arm or guard arm.
A bicycle or motorcycle including a handlebar as well as two handgrips mounted on such handlebar and at least one kit for mounting an accessory on one of said handgrips or on said handlebar, said bicycle or motorcycle comprising:
- the accessory,
- a clamp mounted on at least one handgrip of the bicycle or motorcycle including an outer and an inner surface delimiting a through opening extending along a first axis,
- at least one element for tightening said clamp or rather a respective inner surface on said at least one handgrip of the bicycle or motorcycle,
- an accessory arm or guard arm enbloc with or fixed or removably mountable on said clamp and designed to support said accessory,
- at least one element for connecting the accessory to said accessory arm or guard arm,
- at least one shim or spacer at least partly mounted in said clamp.
A bicycle or motorcycle including a handlebar as well as two handgrips mounted on such handlebar and at least one kit for mounting at least one accessory on at least one handgrip of said two handgrips or on said handlebar, said bicycle or motorcycle comprising:
- the at least one accessory,
- a clamp mounted on said at least one handgrip of said two handgrips or on the handlebar of the bicycle or motorcycle including an outer and an inner surface delimiting a through opening extending along a first axis,
- at least one element for tightening said clamp or rather a respective inner surface on said at least one handgrip of said two handgrips or the handlebar,
- an accessory arm or guard arm removably mountable on said clamp and designed to support said at least one accessory,
- at least one element for connecting said at least one accessory to said accessory arm or guard arm,
- said accessory arm or guard arm and said clamp including mutual connecting components or portions, so that said accessory arm or guard arm can be assembled/disassembled to/from said clamp due to such mutual connecting components or portions even after said clamp has been mounted on the handgrip or handlebar owing to said at least one element for tightening and thus the assembly/disassembly step of said accessory arm or guard arm to/from said clamp is irrespective from a mounting/dismounting step of said clamp on the handgrip or handlebar.
