Cylinder Head Protectors - 2010-later BMW R1200RT, R1200GS, R1200GS Adventure, 2011-later R1200R Motorcycle - by Machineart Moto

X-Head DOHC Cylinder Head Guards provide wide area protection for your twin-cam BMW motorcycle. They're designed to cover 80% of the face of the cylinder head to protect, not only the bottom initial impact area in a drop, but also the upper part of the cylinder head.

Even a driveway drop will cause a bike to roll briefly onto the face of the cylinder before it settles down on its bottom edge. X-Heads cover more area than OEM and other aftermarket head guards and the X-Head DOHC design benefits from considerable materials research and the selection of a DuPont "Super-Tough" nylon selected for its blend of high impact strength, temperature and UV stabilization.

The injection molded shell is designed to give slightly in impact to prevent breakage. Between it and the cylinder head is a 7mm thick thermoplastic rubber liner that aids in dissipating impact force while preventing hard contact with the cylinder. Each side mounts via 3 stainless steel fasteners treated with Nyloc thread locking compound to assure a tight installation.

Designed to look as well as they protect: appearance and function are equally considered Machineart Moto's development work.
