accessories » Engine crash bars

Dear All

Advice is sought.

I am wanting to put Engine Crash Bars on a 2018 R1200RS.

The only product I can find on-line (cheaper than buying at local Australian dealer - by about 40 per cent) is listed at BMW Motorrad as:

BMW Engine Guard Set R1200R (K53 / 2015-2016) R1200RS (K54 / 2015-2016)

For example, https://www.bmw-motorrad-bohling.com/bmw...-2015-2016.html

With the following components:

77 14 8 557 607
77 14 8 557 608
07 12 9 907 381 (2x)
07 12 9 908 654 (2x)
77 14 8 522 926

Obviously this fits a 2016 model.

But were there changes in 2017 or 2018 which would require a different kit?

Why do they limit the applicability to R1200RS 2015-16?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Hey Bill, congratulations on the new RS. I'm sure the fitment is the same for your '18, as most of the changes seem to be internal and probably software related. I think most sites just haven't updated to include the current year model. I'm sure if there are any changes I haven't mentioned, someone else on the forum will have an answer based on their bike, as I have a '16
Cheers, David

These will fit any iteration of water cooled RS

Any external dimensional changes on the post 2016 models would be for the gear box and starter motor. Other changes, for example the dropping of the Australuan rear mudguard on the newest Australian delivered bikes, make no difference to the actual measurements of the bike for fitting farkles.

Hi Billyboy try this site its called Horning I have gotten a few things from them and they are good and fast but get in early before the 1 July to miss the GST on it. https://www.motorcycleparts-hornig.com/

Dear All

If anyone is interested in this in the future I can now clarify that the Part Numbers I specified in the original post are correct from 2015 R1200 RS models to the current 2018 model.

For Australian buyers the price from BMW-Bohling (link in original post) is $A420 delivered from Germany. Local BMW Australia price quoted $A680.

Thanks for all the input to my query.

best wishes

To anyone who might be interested

I installed the bars yesterday on my bike.

I made a short video to help anyone else contemplating the same task.

Just ordered a set from Hornig, for £175. I will let you know what they are like

See pictures on the thread section on fitting k1300 panniers. The bars are very good and fitted very easily. As ever use some threadlock on the bolts. Delivered on time as well from Hornig.

It could be done a second time in much less than that.
