AltRider Cylinder Head Guards for BMW R 1250 GS / Adv OEM Crash Bars

✓ Full Valve Cover Protection: Stock bars leave those expensive magnesium VVT covers exposed to rocks and drops. Our domed guards shield the entire valve cover.

✓ Intelligent Mounting System: Other guards tear off in crashes. Our interlocking design with stainless clamps stays put when you're sliding through gravel sections. We don’t use cheap electric conduit mounts like some of our competitors are doing that break on the first impact.

✓ Built for Drops: 5052 aluminum with grained finish. Light enough for technical riding, tough enough for when things go wrong.

✓ Looks Factory: Follows your OEM crash bar lines and looks like part of factory install. No bulky bolt-ons or ugly add-ons, just a clean and sleek look.

✓ Solid Mount System: Custom stainless clamps and fasteners grab those bars without marking them up. No shifting, no rattle, or noise in the rough stuff.

Let's be honest - stock crash bars are basic protection. When you're dropping serious cash on a GS, you need real cylinder head coverage.

Still not convinced the AltRider design is the choice to make? See what other riders are saying.

Detailed Description

We've dropped enough GSs to know - stock crash bars leave gaps where it matters. Our head guards fill those gaps and look proper doing it. That domed shape isn't for show - it's mapped exactly to your valve covers for when things get sketchy.

The proof is in the engineering: Our locking mount system means these guards stay solid even in nasty drops. Pair them with our AltRider Reinforcement Bars and you've got the toughest setup possible on OEM crash bars.

Technical Details:

  • Material: Formed 5052 aluminum
  • Clamps: 304 stainless steel custom cast
  • Finish: Grained aluminum with embossed logos
  • Fitment: BMW R 1250 GS/GSA OEM crash bars only
  • Design: Contoured match to VVT valve cover profile

What's In The Box:

  • Aluminum cylinder head guards (pair)
  • Stainless steel mounting clamps
  • Complete installation hardware

Important Compatibility Notes:

  • ONLY fits BMW R 1250 GS/GSA OEM crash bars
  • Works with AltRider Reinforcement Bars
  • NOT compatible with Option 719 billet head covers

Protect those expensive heads. Because "almost covered" isn't good enough when you're 200 miles from help.

    Best option on the market.

    I purchased a set for my GSA to replace my existing Ricochet head guards. I was very impressed with the level of quality in the mounting hardware let alone the overall design. Ricochet uses 3 different mounting points while utilizing a “conduit clamp” style single bolt design, making it challenging to hold in place when bolting down or removing the guard. It also creates a lot of leverage against the single bolt clamping it down. The Altrider design has the guard wrapping around the top and front of the OEM crash bars and uses an opposing 2 bolt clamp design at the bottom. The clamp is at the bottom of the guard itself which minimizes the chance of bold head damage in the event the guard makes contact with the ground. The finish of the Altrider guards has a nice brushed finish with smoother edges and looks like a factory option for your bike. The Ricochet guard has sharp, unfinished edges, and shows tooling marks from the areas that it was shaped to fit the crash bars. Well built, typical Altrider quality.

    Cylinder Crash Guards

    As with everything from Altrider these BMW GS 1250 GSA guards are the perfect solution for the off roader that wants to save the heads from rock damage. The fit is perfect and design is top notch.
