Kappa KNH5123OX Upper Tubular Engine Guard in Stainless Steel Ø25 mm – BMW R1250GS (2019-2021)

The Kappa KNH5123OX is the upper tubular engine guard — the upper bar — made of stainless steel for the BMW R1250GS. It protects the upper part of the boxer engine, the area that takes the first impact in a side fall. Stainless steel does not chip or rust where painted black, sooner or later, does.

✓ Strengths

• Ø 25 mm stainless steel – resistant to corrosion, salt, and washing
• Visible stainless steel finish – the aesthetic many prefer on the boxer engine
• Bilateral protection – right and left bars
• Upper bar – covers the upper part of the engine, where the lower engine guard does not reach
• Liquidation price – a stainless steel item at a fraction of the list price of its replacement code

Who it's perfect for

For those who own an R 1250 GS, want the stainless steel upper bar, and don't want to pay today's price. It's the same type of protection as the catalog version, for a code that Kappa has simply replaced: what you lose is the updated serial number, what you gain is the price difference. A unique piece, new and packaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it so much cheaper than the KNH5124OX? Because it's a discontinued code that we are clearing out. It's new and original: the serial number changes, not the quality.

Is it new or used/returned? It's new, never mounted, in its original packaging.

How many do you have? Only the remaining stock in the warehouse. It will not be reordered.

What's the difference between the upper bar and the lower engine guard? The upper bar protects the upper part of the engine; the lower engine guard covers the crankcase and lower part. They are complementary, not alternatives.

How can I be sure it will fit my GS? Write to us before ordering with the year and trim of your motorcycle: as it's an out-of-catalog code, we prefer to confirm it ourselves.

Can I install it myself? Kappa recommends having installation performed by a qualified mechanic for proper tightening and alignment.
