AltRider R116-1-1203 Skid Plate with the BMW Crash Bars Installed, for BMW R1200GS LC (2013-up)

The Altrider R116-1-1203 Skid Plate completely designed and manufactured in the USA, was redesigned for the water cooled R1200GS, to maintain greater ground clearance, a flat plate of 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) anodized aluminum is utilized, with no bolts on the bottom side to snag. Was designed to be extremely narrow at the bottom to maintain the great cornering ability of the bike. It is a one piece unit that provides tire to tire protection. From the leading front corner of the headers to just before the rear tire, the entire bottom side of the motor is shielded from impact. Even the catalytic converter is safeguarded. There are no gaps in protection or plastic pieces to break and no parts to continually repurchase. It was designed so it doesn’t require removal to change the oil on the bike. The only design on the market that doesn’t rely on the engine as a mounting point.

The brackets are secured with the two sturdy M12 torx frame bolts, preventing the flange from pivoting on impact. These long brackets have more leverage, allowing impacts to create shearing or bending forces that break the mount. This mounting system is an industry first that provides an extremely clean look, while remaining very powerful and simple to install.
