BMW R Series Protection - Valve Cover & Cylinder (Dakar)

The result of extensive testing and design led to this intricate three piece design, where the impact point is protected, supported by an upper and lower piece of 3 mm thick hard anodized aluminum, each of which also protects the valve cover.

The leading and trailing edges of the valve cover are protected by a double layer of aluminum and therefore have 6 mm of aluminum protection. Two of the three mounting points also benefit from this two layer design, making the attachment points of these covers particularly robust.

• Protection from impacts, falls and slides
• No more grinding of holes in cover.
• Protects the cylinder head cover from moving and destroying the bolt threads in the cylinder (cover attachment to head is “floating”, without protection it could move at impact).
• Protection for the front attachment bolt.
• Load is spread over many points via flexible 3M rubber bumpers.
• No bolts etc at the front impact area.
• Thick billet slide pad on each side.
• 3 major double strength attachment points.
• Powder-coated aluminum.
• Spark plugs can be reached without dismantling.
• Easy to fit

The original plastic protectors usually shatter at minor incidents or simply fold back, we recommend fitting these protectors as a preventive measure. During the development and testing of this part (road/off-road/track using several bike models with the customary slides and falls) we never had to use the emergency rubber cap.

Sold as a complete set for the left and right side.

Replacement contact pads are available under the Related Products tab.

Please note: The protectors fit in combination with the original BMW crash bars, when mounting with Wunderlich crash bars the mounting kit 35611-000 is required.
