About LSL
Country of Origin:
Germany
Founder:
Jochen Schmitz-Linkweiler
Best Known For:
High-quality handlebars, rearsets, crash protection, and TÜV-tested chassis parts
Company History
LSL Motorradtechnik is a byword for German component quality: handlebars with ideal bend profiles, precise rearsets, and crash protection engineered to deform predictably. The company’s focus is rider feel and repeatable setup—parts that position controls where bodies work best and that pass TÜV scrutiny for safety and legality. LSL also builds concept specials to showcase ergonomics and geometry, but the core is making mainstream bikes better through carefully spec’d hardware and clear documentation. Trackday riders and commuters alike appreciate torque specs, assembly guidance, and availability of spares years after purchase. Historically, LSL represents the craft end of the aftermarket that treats design as an engineering discipline, not decoration. By elevating contact points and protection, it helps riders extract more comfort and confidence from their motorcycles, proving that the right bar bend or rearset can change a bike’s character as much as a flashy exhaust ever could.
