Product Information
Full details
The Puig Front Fork Protector (9517N) is designed for BMW F800 GT owners (2017-2020) who want to safeguard their motorcycle's front suspension during potential ground contact. This high-resistance accessory acts as a sacrificial barrier to absorb shocks, offering a practical blend of essential protection and a racing aesthetic. While it provides excellent defense for the front end, it is important to note that it is a specific fitment accessory, meaning it will not accommodate other motorcycle models or years outside of the specified BMW range.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the Puig 9517N compatible with my BMW F800 R?
No, this specific model (9517N) is engineered exclusively for the BMW F800 GT (2017-2020).
How much does the protector weigh?
The Puig Front Fork Protector weighs 265 grams.
Does this product require special tools for installation?
Basic garage hand tools are typically sufficient, but always refer to the specific Puig installation manual included with the product.
Is the nylon material prone to fading?
The material is highly durable, but like any exterior motorcycle component, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays may cause minor cosmetic weathering over many years.
Does this protect the brake calipers?
While the protector covers the fork area to prevent ground contact, its primary purpose is to safeguard the fork slider and suspension assembly.
Troubleshooting
Protector feels loose after installation
Verify that all mounting hardware is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications and ensure all spacers are correctly oriented.
Surface of the protector has light scuffs
Small scuffs are normal as the material absorbs road friction; if the nylon is deeply grooved or cracked, it should be replaced to maintain full protection.
