Full details

The SW-Motech Cylinder Guard is for BMW R 1200 GS (2009+) and R Nine T (2014-2023) owners seeking to protect their motorcycle's boxer covers from impact damage. Its key benefit is providing robust defense against rocks and falls through durable construction and integrated damping.

Are these guards designed for off-road protection?

They provide protection against rocks and falls, making them suitable for general riding and protection against damage from light off-road incidents or tip-overs.

How difficult is the installation process?

The installation is designed to be simple, utilizing original frame mounting points. It generally requires basic tools and following the provided instructions.

Can I use these guards with other aftermarket accessories?

While designed to fit original frames, compatibility with other aftermarket accessories cannot be guaranteed. Check for potential interference before installation.

What is included in the package?

How should I clean the anodized finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.

Troubleshooting

Guard does not fit correctly.

Double-check that your motorcycle model and year match the product's compatibility list. Ensure you are using the correct mounting hardware for each specific point as per the instructions. Verify that no other aftermarket parts are interfering with the installation.

Mounting hardware is missing.

Carefully review the packaging contents against the included parts list in the mounting instructions. If any hardware is genuinely missing, contact the retailer or SW-Motech customer support for replacement parts.

Anodized finish appears dull or faded.

This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. While normal for anodized finishes, you can try a specialized anodized metal polish, but avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the product is properly cared for as outlined in the care instructions.
