dyvking Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 The cylinder head protectors made by Touratech for the R1200GS have been mentioned here several times lately. I just noticed on their website that they are coming out with these in anodized black, and they are advertised as being for the RT as well as the GS. Apparently they are accepting orders at $157.70 US/set, with a shipping date "coming" I think these will look really great with my dark gray lowers. Pricing isn't too bad, considering the cheesy BMW plastic ones are $110 per set. These should be way stronger. Link to comment

Do they come in silver as well as black? I'm kind of thinking about these from Sierra BMW: http://www.sierrabmw.bigstep.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=820323%7C1312290&PRID=1505206 About 35% more han the Touratech, but I think they look a bit less "GS" for installing on the RT. But, as with most of this stuff, it only amounts to money and the person paying the bill is the only one who has to like it. Link to comment

Buccaneer has them on his RT: click here. They do look a little "Robo" on an RT, but they are most certainly more stout than the plastic ones I have on the RT now. I have the guards you mentioned on my GS. I originally was going to put them on the RT, but I have Elf-pegs for that bike, and the aluminum BMW guards won't work with those pegs as the guards cover the plug-groove. Link to comment

I forgot to mention that I saw a set of these on eBay for a little less than normal retail: click here. Link to comment
