When we saw the meagre original engine protection and the resulting major damage to the engine block, we knew we simply had to develop a stronger plate properly protecting engine, exhaust downpipes and collector
Background: When the original protector plate is subjected to a strong impact from below or is hooked on something from underneath, it can shear off its front bracket and the rigid rear brackets bend into the engine cases
Our engine protection plates have pressed strengthening swages greatly increasing stiffness and stability
We have developed a version for extreme tours which increases the ground clearance by another 25 mm (~1”)
Shock-reducing rubber-mounts connect the base plate via a special support frame and spring-loaded decoupling
The facts:
Extremely sturdy and angled in the front, getting “hooked” not possible
Extended toward the rear to protect the collector
No restriction in ground clearance regarding to the original engine protection
3 mm (~5/32”) thick + strong aluminium plate
6 attachment points (original only 4)
No modifications required to the bike
Easy to fit
Bolted to existing mounting points/threads
Sold complete with complete fitting kit + bolts
The engine protection plates had to withstand extreme tests on the Rallies of Agadir, Katar, at the Erzberg and during many races and extreme tests
Apart from the added stability and safety, the appearance of the GS is also greatly enhanced.
