Hi I just bought a 2016 R1200RS and found 3 threaded bolt holes near the rear hub. I�m trying to figure out what is supposed to be mounted. Any ideas? D43BE40E-21F9-4E10-BD36-6A55AF734AF4.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

I'm pretty sure the same part is used for the GS which has the hugger. It mounts to those points.

If you count what BMW supplies as a �hugger,� yes. Basically it�s a stone deflector to keep most of the stuff kicked up from coming back onto the rider when on dirt.

.... Any ideas?

Slap some type of anti-corrosion on the bare metal bits and forget

I had some 'bits left over' - sign of a good mechanic! after home fitting some engine protectors..
They're the same thread - just put three small bolts in those dirt collectors, job done.

Some of the R1200RS's left the factory with nothing more than a grey primer coat. Shocking, I know........

Get three black plastic number plate bolts cut to the correct length and wind them in the holes. Stops the muck getting in.
