R130-1-1200
• Impact Absorption: The Energy Absorption System (EAS) uses engineered elastomer components and CNC-machined stainless steel plates to absorb and dissipate crash energy before it reaches the engine.
• Engine & Exhaust Protection: Covers and protects the headers and catalytic converter from rocks, debris, and ground strikes.
• Maximum Clearance: Designed to give better ground clearance than any competing skid plate for the R 1300 GS, reducing the risk of grounding out on rough terrain.
• Strong Frame Mount: The rear of the skid plate attaches directly to the strongest point of the frame using a dual-material design, providing a more robust and reliable connection.
• No-Remove Oil Changes: The oil can be changed without removing the skid plate, keeping maintenance fast and simple on the trail.
• Solid Construction: Built from 4.0 mm anodized aluminum, hand-TIG welded, with roughly 35 square inches of EAS surface area to diffuse impacts.
• Material: Anodized aluminum (primary plate); engineered elastomer with CNC-machined stainless steel plates (EAS components)
• Thickness: 5/32 in (4.0 mm)
• Welding: Hand-TIG welded
• EAS Surface Area: ~35 sq in (89 sq cm)
• Mounting Points: Four corners plus three midspan EAS zones
• Weight: 7 lbs
• Dimensions: 4 × 16 × 21 in

Install Guide R 1300 GS Skid Plate:
• Impact Protection: An exclusive Energy Absorption System uses engineered elastomer and CNC-machined stainless steel plates to absorb and dissipate impact energy so it is not transferred to the engine.
• Engine Coverage: The skid plate covers the headers and catalytic converter, protecting critical and expensive components from rocks and ground strikes.
• Frame-Direct Mount: The rear of the skid plate attaches directly to the strongest point of the frame, giving the whole plate a more solid and reliable foundation.
• Best Ground Clearance: The design offers more ground clearance than any other skid plate for the R 1300 GS, so you lose less clearance over rough terrain.
• No Removal for Oil Changes: You can perform a full oil change without removing the skid plate, saving time on the trail or at camp.
• Hand TIG Welded: Each plate is hand TIG welded from 4.0 mm anodized aluminum for a strong, consistent build that holds up to hard use.
• Material: Anodized aluminum with engineered elastomer and CNC-machined stainless steel (EAS components)
• Thickness: 5/32 in (4.0 mm)
• EAS Surface Area: Approx. 35 sq in (89 sq cm)
• Welding: Hand TIG welded
• Mounting: Four-corner mount with three EAS zones at midspan; rear mount attaches to frame
• Weight: 6.4 lbs
• Dimensions: 4 × 16 × 21 in
