I am a bit surprised how often the radiator guards come up. Is the radiator that fragile?

I suppose they all are up to a certain point. I decided to play it safe as the cost is minimal and it's easy to fit.

Great Minds and all that - amongst the pile of bits I have waiting for my 1250 are the X-heads, and Evotech rad. guard. Good to see them fitted and that they look as good as I was hoping................

I'm surprised the 1250 X Head guard appears to leave the back part of the valve cover exposed.

Maybe it's distortion in the picture but the front silver section of the OEM engine spoiler looks bubbled.

I agree.

A radiator guard becomes a standard accessory after you get a stone through an unprotected rad and associated big bill for repair (rare) or more commonly a replacement. Not to mention the inconvenience of the whole breakdown recovery fiasco..................

It's actually ACF50 I had applied some before I fitted the engine guard as it's unlikely it'll not come off again for a while.

Changed the screen for the Puig Touring screen and I can enjoy my ride in silence it worked better than I expected.

I'm sorry, but with such an enormous windscreen (it's a shop window!), I would have chosen a BMW RT.

A 2018 "Sport Style" R1200RS for her and a 2019 "Sport Style" R1250RS for him.

None of the above.

-Puig Hugger
-MRA Sport screen
-Vortex GPS mount
-12V BMW plug up front to support the camera
-Luggage rack
-BMW cylinder head cover guards

A 2018 "Sport Style" R1200RS for her and a 2019 "Sport Style" R1250RS for him.
