Guards & Protectors

More and more adventure motorcycles utilize dozens of small, complex components that are exposed and subject to damage on technical off-road trails. AltRider guards shield your radiator, headlight, cylinder heads, water pump, brake reservoirs, rotors, and valve covers from rock strikes and branch impacts. Solid aluminum or stainless steel construction keeps vulnerable components safe without adding unnecessary weight.

  • Radiator Guards Aluminum guards prevent rock punctures and branch damage to your radiator core while maintaining airflow.
  • Cylinder Protection Head guards wrap around exposed engine cylinders that are vulnerable on tight trails, mounted correctly to distribute force.
  • Solid Aluminum Built from the same material as our skid plates — tough enough to take real hits.

      AltRider guards cover headlights in clear polycarbonate or steel mesh, and shield fork legs, ABS sensors, radiators, brake reservoirs, cylinder heads, and exhaust headers from direct impacts. Beyond crash bars and skid plates, adventure motorcycles carry dozens of small components that rocks and debris can damage.
      High fender kits raise the front fender for mud clearance and include all brackets and brake hose hardware for a complete installation. The exhaust heat shield protects soft luggage from pipe heat. Each guard is shaped to the specific component it protects.
