Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2021 , German BMW parts and accessory specialist Hornig has unveiled parts designs for the S 1000 XR / RR as part of a " virtual trade fair " that marks its anniversary achievement - and what a tumultuous 20 years it has been for the motorcycle industry ! During that time though , Cham based Motorcycle Accessory Hornig GmbH has prospered . Helmut Hornig ' s first part was a theft-proof oil filler plug , and 20 years later that company has

over 4,000 product lines for BMW applications and operates from a 2,000 sqm complex , employing 30 people , selling to around 1,000 dealers and exporting to over 120 countries . Seen here on the company ' s S 1000 XR conversion , for long-distance rides , the Hornig Touring Series smoke-grey windshield was developed to minimise the windblast against the rider . These screens raise that windblast for several centimetres , allowing the rider to keep to a more comfortable , natural riding position - up to some 17 cm higher than the original windscreen ; matching air deflectors also available . Other changes made to the standard

S 1000 XR include replacing the original seat with Hornig ' s reupholstered version , there is a relocated GPS position ( above the instruments ) for improved digital route planner visibility , and there is a neverto-be-underestimated handlebar bag . The faithful old theft-proof oil filler plug conversion is still a Hornig staple ( it can only be removed with a Torx T45 ); there is a side stand foot enlargement ; rear swingarm and fork crash protectors ; crash bars ; shift lever extension ; brake pedal enlargement ; ' Fender Extender '; oil cooler screen ; mirror extensions ; LED fairing turning

signals ; carbon fibre tank pad ; adjustable stainless steel licence plate bracket ; stainless steel bar end weights , and more . On the S 1000 RR conversion seen here , there is a Hornig replacement racing screen , a replacement , precision adjustable chain tensioner , ( GIVI tank bags are also available from Hornig ), tail bag , a triple clamp mountable GPS mount , our oil filler cap ( of course !), crash protectors , oil cooler cover , and a short licence plate holder allows a better view of the rear wheel . www . motorcyclepartshornig . com
