We're R1300GS riders who understand that engine protection isn't just about looks—it's about preventing expensive repairs when you're pushing limits far from dealerships. While other manufacturers offer basic bolt-on solutions, we engineered guards that integrate with our crash bar system for superior protection and maintainability.
The proof is in the details: machine-formed 5000 series aluminum plates mount with brushed stainless steel straps that wrap 360 degrees around crash bar tubes. This complete contact prevents debris accumulation and eliminates guard movement during impacts. The inset design positions protection inside the crash bars, reducing snag points while providing full coverage of BMW's sensitive valve covers and ignition components. Chamfered edges and deburred surfaces ensure installation won't damage your bars, while the modular design allows individual guard replacement if impact damage occurs.

Benefits
-Integrated crash bar system: Guards mount exclusively to AltRider lower crash bars, creating a unified protection system that BMW riders expect. Because piecemeal protection is amateur hour.
-360-degree stainless steel clamping: Brushed stainless steel straps provide complete wrap-around contact, eliminating movement and debris ingress while maintaining the classic aesthetic BMW owners appreciate.
-Double-thickness aluminum construction: 5000 series aluminum plates engineered at twice OEM thickness deliver superior impact resistance for valve covers, spark plugs, and ignition coils.
-Modular replacement capability: Damaged guards replace individually without crash bar replacement, saving hundreds compared to welded competitor systems. Because smart engineering beats brute force.
-Deburred installation hardware: Chamfered edges and finishing washers prevent installation scratching while ensuring professional appearance and smooth operation.
-Damaged bar compatibility: Flexible positioning accommodates installation on previously impacted crash bars that rigid systems can't handle. Because real adventure riding involves real impacts.
