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?

The base model and exclusive model winglets (which I think are the same or very similar) both use bolts to mount the winglets that the Avant Guard needs to use. The winglets on the Sport are different to the base and exclusive and I can't get to my photos at the moment but I think it will be impossible. Happy to learn otherwise mind.

Best of luck

Just bought an Akrapovic silencer listed for a 1250 and it fits straight on my R1200

Hi,
Have a look on aliexpress, search bmw r1200gs. They are £32 delivered !
The lower mounting castings need to be ground down to centralise the mudguard, then check that the bolts aren’t too long !

Good luck with these units. They mount to a functional part of the drive chain. I wouldn't be taking any chances with fitting. If the bolts are not perfect and of high quality there will be a failure that could cause the hugger to interfere with the rear wheel - sometimes cheap is not a bargain !

Just recieved and fitted a R1200RS SC Project X-plorer exhaust https://shop.sc-project.com/en-GB/Bike_B...rer-Muffler.htm to my R1250RS.

The pipe itself fits properly. The only issue is that the 1250 link pipe heatshield includes the exhaust valve cover - the 1200 does not, and neither does the SC carbon heatshield. I just obtained a R1200 valve cover which fits straight on and works as intended with the SC heatshield.

Stick with the 1200 - problem solved!

The accessory manufacturers just love new models....

Are 1250 owners removing the winglets to fit the Avant Guard engine protector or is there another solution?

The sport model has a stainless steel winglet

In stead of the avant-garde use the wunderlich engine protection works on both bikes no need to remove the winglets on 1250

I had to remove mine to fit the engine bars and the avantguard

This is a really great thread which I've just found; useful to me as I'm currently mulling over making the 1200->1250 change. As I'd like to have all my ducks in a row ready if I decide to take the plunge, can anyone advise if the following can be added to Bunter's 'transferable' list or not?

Evotech radiator guard:
https://evotech-performance.com/collecti...rd-2015-to-2018

(There is a 1250 version on the site [https://evotech-performance.com/collecti...rd-2019-onwards], and it has a single digit different in the part number; but it doesn't necessarily follow that the 1200 part won't fit, right?)

Presumably the Givi tank bag ring is OK?

I was also going to ask about the Cymarc Crud Catcher, but this link indicates it's the same item for both bikes, so perhaps that could get added to the master list?
