Even a "Parking Lot Drop" can cause serious damage to your BMW K1600GT or K1600GTL engine, but the AltRider engine guard is there to help!

AltRider’s in-house design team took a careful analysis of the center of gravity and the ability to distribute load on impact. In the case of an accidental tip-over, the cross bar distributes the load from one side to the other, relieving pressure from the existing mounting points to the other side of the bike. The connector bar adds significant strength to the design, effectively connecting into the threaded and blind boss on each side which provides 2 more locations for distributing impact.

The assembly for these engine protection bars is moved out 1.75" and up 2" from the original OEM design. Three reasons for this unique design change:
A light mounting system (LED AUX light) is incorporated into the engine protection bars, bringing the light set near the crevice of the bar for protection. In the case of an accident, your light is safe from hazards!
This design provides a higher resting angle when the bike is on its side, allowing a rider to pick the bike up after it falls on its side. Unlike boxer motors, the K1600 will lie almost flat making it difficult to even pick up the bike. The higher point of the bar will stop the bike from rolling over further, making it manageable for a single operator to upright the bike. This will minimize the damage to the upper fairings, windshield, mirrors, and handlebars.
OEM engine bars are placed very low on the frame and become a pivot point causing a falling bike to continue to topple over onto the upper fairings. AltRider's design halts this problem with the enlargement of the bars, preventing the bike from rolling over further in any crash or stationary drop.

AltRider Engine Protection Bars will keep your K1600GT or GTL in top performance shape by providing much-needed coverage in case of spills and stationary drops.
