Glad you highlighted that Bunter. Personally, I like the look of those, but the ones I saw in the dealers were like this....



Anyone know what gives? Seems like very little plastic for, what, £350?

Thanks I'd not spotted there are two versions of these lower plastics. That raises the question of whether both or only one type is incompatible with the AvantGuard engine protector. On the 1200 the guard fits in place even with the lower plastics installed.

What about with the Evotech version?

it's missing the wings to the side that I guess clash with the engine spooier?

The original R1200RS aluminium Cylinder Head Cover Guard cannot be transferred to the R1250RS.

Transferable

Luggage rack
Seats
Vortex GPS mount
Screens
Rear Mudsling
Avant Guard front engine protector - Can transfer but requires the removal of the 1250 winglets which is not the case on the 1200.
Side cases
Top box

Not transferable

Hornig sat nav mount - Can't transfer
Aluminium cylinder head covers - possibly (likely?) all versions won't be transferable
BMW crash bars - possibly all versions won't be transferable

Ilium bar risers from 1200rs fit my 1250 (clutch hydraulic pipe needed a bit of free play finding) also I took the risk of buying a Shark end can (for a 1200)and link pipe from Germany , it fit perfectly.
1200 footpeg lowering kit also fitted. Bought a “Puig” lookalike hugger for a 1200 GS (£35) from China...doesn’t sit in the centre of the tyre as its obviously a wider tyre but the substantial aluminium frame has so much meat at the shaft drive mounting points you can easily grind off enough to centralise the mudguard (I’m tight) I was impressed by the quality of the Chinese item....the £185 Puig is probably made in China

Thanks Bunter and all contributors for clarifying this. Like many I have a lot of money tied up in add-ons to the bike that I would be hoping to transfer when I get around to the change. Big loss is the engine protectors but glad to see most will move across.

MV Verholen lowering kit, although I suspect that just about any BMW footpeg lowering kit would work. The ones I got looked like they’d probably fit my K1600 and my old 1100 GS !

I thought the "winglets" referred to the little translucent plastic wings at the top of the fairing (which supposedly generate a vortex and create an improved "pocket" of air for the rider).

The items you identify are the "engine spoilers", which is the attempt to fair in the bottom of the motor. The 1200 had (optional) composite ones. The 1250 has light metal ones. In the case of the 1250 it is certainly a service item as the left one covers the oil filter.

I am completely sold on the MaMo X-heads and Mudsling - but the engine guard is not really important IMO. A better solution would be a longer front guard and although in 2015 one was promised by Pyramid, none has ever been made.

Hi i've got my sport coming in a few days and in advance and haste bought the avant guard engine protector. I never saw the notice on NN web site that you must remove the winglets. Could the guard be fitted if modified do you think? ie hack the bugger with an angle grinder or something?
