Maximum protection from the elements with Style. A choice of single point mounting systems are available to suit most street motorcycles and a full weather plus impact protection two-point mounting systems for dual-sport and adventure-touring bikes.

he X-Head DOHC is designed to protect more of the cylinder head surface than any other guard in the event of a fall. Even if it gets away from you in the driveway, the inertia will cause the bike to roll onto the face of the cover before the bike settles down on the bottom of the cylinder. When off-road riding, X-Heads work together with crash bars to prevent damage from rocks that can get past the bars. Behind the tough nylon shell is a thick rubber liner that helps absorb impact force against the cylinder. Included are stainless steel bolts with Nyloc threadlock patches so they stay tight. X-Head DOHC protects while letting just enough of the new head shape to show through. They fit with the following crash bars: BMW OEM; Adventure Designs BMW crash bar extensions; Touratech; Hepco Becker; SW Motech; ALT Rider. Does not fit Z-Tecknik bars. The rule of thumb is: if your bars fit with BMW's OEM cylinder guards, they will fit with X-Head DOHC. X-Head DOHC fits all Dual Overhead Cam engines, including the 2014 R1200R and R nineT.

The BMW R1200GS has a powerful yet wide motor, and you want to protect every inch. Wrap that 1200cc gem with our 1 inch stainless crash bars. AltRider set the bar high on this product. Durable and well engineered, the AltRider crash bars are built with precision-manufactured mounts that fit directly into the existing motor mount. By utilizing the R 1200 GS’s robust frame mount and incorporating the existing frame hardware, AltRider designed a quality piece that will protect your motor. Unlike other crash bars, these do not use flanges or weak tabs and are not hung: they are actually mounted. Made with a shot peen satin finish means that even when the bike takes a spill, the stainless bars will never show signs of rust. These crash bars deflect the impact from the cylinders and engine case to the strongest parts of the frame. Unlike other manufacturers, our design provides plenty of clearance around the vulnerable left oil line. It also serves double-duty as a boot rest on long rides! Save yourself hassle and frustration – and the purchase of a $200 valve cover – by installing AltRider crash bars. An advantage to the AltRider design is the comprehensive protection provided to the valve cover. This is especially important on 2010 and newer models because contact to the valve cover can cause the gasket to dislodge resulting in massive oil loss. Take a moment to review the instructions.

Black Dog Cycle Works skid plates are precision designed & built with each make/model in mind, offering full coverage of vital components. They are not the typical costume jewelry disguised as “armor”—it’s simply the most bad-ass skid plates on the market!

Improved in all areas of performance and handling ..... Except - the combination of the lighter flywheel/crankshaft and wet clutch is going to take a looooong time to get used to.

Great price and custom-made due to my old-school SW Mototech crashbars not being compatible with any serious bashplates on the market today. HE did an awesome job of custom-fabbing this bash plate and center stand plate, knocking it out on a Sunday. It's 3.5mm aluminum and unfortunately uses the 2nd gen OEM mounting system (far superior to the original), but has absorbed all kinds of damage and impacts without shearing the mount bolts like the wimpy stock plate did. Overall, I'm very happy with this plate. http://twinheadlighternie.smugmug.com/

I have to add a full review to add the bike to my garage? Yeah, I'll come back to this. Theme will be: never buy the first year of any model.

TBD
