AltRider R118-2-1202 Skid Plate, Black for BMW R1250GS & Adventure (2019-)

The AltRider R118-2-1202 skid plate was updated for the R1250GS/Adventure, 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. This patent pending mounting system allows save over 1 inch (25.4 mm) of ground clearance. The plate 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. 

There are no gaps in protection or plastic pieces to break and no parts to continually repurchase, just one smooth 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) plate that provides complete coverage, it doesn’t require removal to change the oil on the bike, and is the only design on the market that doesn’t rely on the engine as a mounting point. The front of the AltRider plate gets its brute strength from 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) stainless steel brackets that mount directly to the frame. The brackets are secured with the two sturdy M12 torx frame bolts, preventing the flange from pivoting on impact. Another key innovation of the AltRider design are the rear mounting points. Other plates attach to the frame cross member below the swing arm using thin or complicated brackets. These long brackets have more leverage, allowing impacts to create shearing or bending forces that break the mount. The AltRider skid plate is held in place with two custom machined fasteners that replace the OEM center stand pins which are actually composite and hollow not steel or aluminum. By mounting to the outside edges of the skid plate we create the maximum triangulation yielding a very stable skid plate to resist twisting into the bike when hitting rocks on the outside edges. 

The one piece skid plate is simple to install, and all stainless steel hardware is provided. If you've already installed the AltRider Crash Bars, mounting brackets are not required. 

Speacially made for BMW R1250GS & Adventure (2019-current).
