Product Information

Full details

This guide is for owners of the BMW R 1200 GS (2004-2007) seeking robust protection for their motorcycle's fairing. The key benefit is enhanced defense against damage from drops or impacts, particularly for the upper parts of the bike. A potential caveat is that installation might require SW-Motech lower crash bars. These upper crash bars are constructed from durable 22 mm steel with a powder coating for weather resistance, feature a bike-specific design for a precise fit, and mount directly to original attachment points.
