BIKE IT INTERNATIONAL Southampton, Hampshire, UK Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.bikeit.co.uk Touratech Expedition engine guard TOURATECH is making engine guards under the Expedition name for a range of adventure bikes. The multiple-folded depressions in the aluminium baseplate used in the Expedition guards are said to ensure maximum stability, and the additional, lower stainless steel mounting plate on the engine allows any impact force to be distributed across the mounting points. In addition, the Expedition engine protector has replaceable plastic slides, which completely cover the already recessed bolt heads and make it considerably easier to slide across stones or tree stumps. The Expedition engine protector is available for the BMW F 700 GS, F 650 GS (twin), F 800 GS/Adventure, R 1200 GS (from 2013 on) and the KTM 1190 Adventure. 22 Touratech also offers an engine protector extension for the BMW R 1200 GS (from 2013 on), which is easily attached to the main centre stand and closes the gap between the engine protector and the rear wheel, protecting parts of the exhaust from dirt and flying stones. The company also offers an all-inone solution - the Expedition engine protector XL, which begins in front of the engine and leads back in a single piece almost to the rear wheel, protecting the catalytic converter.
