Engine protection options for Boxer

[GS HAT]

Dear All,

I'm a new to the R1200GS, I've only covered 200 miles on my new bike, which I'm thoroughly enjoying. However which options are open to me when looking for engine protection as I intend to ride it off-road, gravel tracks etc. I have looked at Wunderlich who sell the standard engine protection bars and the valve cover cylinder protectors.

I have seen footage of the GS Adventure with a cracked cylinder head fitted with engine bars. So I'm inclined to opt for the cylinder protectors, both would be best I suppose but I'm keen to hear from other boxer engine owners who have fitted aftermarket protection as to their thoughts on this matter.

thanks in advance

Mark

Got the BMW branded covers on mine which judging by this video are quite effective

Hi Mark, I have added the BMW cylinder head protectors on a 2016 TB GS.

However, I'm investigating if the 2017 BMW lower engine bars will fit over the head protectors as I don't want to take these off.
