The Kappa KN5108 is the specific tubular engine guard for the BMW R 1200 GS liquid-cooled (2013-2018) and for the R 1200 R and R 1200 RS (2015-2018). Made of black painted Ø 25 mm tubular steel, it protects the boxer heads, crankcases, and side panels: on the BMW twin-cylinder, the heads protrude, and in a side fall, they are the first thing to make contact.

Who is it perfect for?
For anyone with an R 1200 — GS, R, or RS — who doesn't want to find out how much a boxer engine head costs. On the BMW twin-cylinder, the heads are the most exposed part of the motorcycle: a wrong maneuver in a parking lot or a foot slipping on an uneven surface is enough. The steel tubular bar takes that impact instead of the engine, and on a GS weighing over two quintals, it's the difference between a scratch on the engine guard and serious repair.
