R1150 GSA Headlamp grill identification please!

[LHutchin]

Hi

Does anyone recognise the make of this headlamp grill please?

Thanks

BMW's own perhaps

It's the BMW OEM GS Adv headlamp protector, part number 71607669391 - no longer available (although they come up second hand occasionally)...

Thanks for the replies.

Don't suppose you know if you can still get them?

Cheers

Have a look along the edges of the road. People were always losing them. They're a simple push on and pull off fit.

Although god knows why anyone would want one. The grill doesn't stop anything, maybe half a brick, but anything smaller hits the glass.

True.

I have a pair of the button bolts (part 3 in diag above) still on my bike

Then again.....if you find a grille with no button bolts, you'll know who to call

I think I had mine fitted for about a weekend before I sold it on here (to Gates, I think)...

I have one that I have moved to each of my last three adventures. Its never fallen off. As to why anyone would want one . . . . . its a farkle like other useless bits we put on our bikes.
