• Radiator Protection: Anodized aluminum guard prevents sticks and trail debris from puncturing the radiator — the most vulnerable new component on the water-cooled GS.
• Airflow Maintained: Specially designed louvers deflect debris while directing airflow through the radiator, so the engine stays cool even with the guard in place.
• Impact Distribution: A robust 4-inch mounting tab spreads impact forces evenly across the guard, reducing the chance of damage in a crash or tip-over.
• Fast Install: Mounts using the three existing shroud bolts in about 15 minutes — no extra hardware, no spacers, and no need to remove fairings.
• Proper Standoff: Guard is spaced a minimum of 1/2 inch from the radiator face to ensure airflow is never completely blocked.
• Quick Install: Designed to go on easily with included Loctite and first class manual

• Material: Anodized aluminum
• Thickness: 1/16 in (1.6 mm)
• Mounting Tab Width: 4 in (101.6 mm)
• Radiator Standoff: Minimum 1/2 in (12.7 mm)
• Finish: Black anodized
• Weight: 0.65 lbs
• Dimensions: 10.5 × 8.25 × 3 in

The water-cooled R 1200 GS and R 1250 GS brought a radiator to a platform that didn't need one before — and that radiator is exposed. One stick or rock through the fins ends your ride. This guard stops that.

The louver design does two jobs at once: it deflects trail debris and directs airflow through the radiator. The guard sits a minimum half inch from the radiator face so cooling is never blocked. A 4-inch mounting tab distributes impact force evenly across the guard — important when the bike goes down on the trail side.

Installation takes about 15 minutes. Remove three existing shroud bolts, insert the guard, reinstall the shroud. No extra hardware, no spacers, no fairing removal. Available in silver or black anodized finish.

For riders who also want to protect the R 1200/1250 GS from tip-over damage, AltRider Upper and Lower Crash Bars are compatible with this guard.
