PRO GuIDe R&G protection for BMW S1000R R&G now offer over 20 different crash protectors for the BMW S1000R, including ‘Aero’ crash protectors and British Superbike and AMA-approved engine case covers (ECC), that are available separately or as a four-piece kit. Engine case sliders are also offered as a heavyduty alternative to the second-skin ECC, and a radiator guard and oil cooler guard in either stainless steel or aluminium. R&G’s bar end sliders help to reduce the chance of the hand controls and tank making contact with the ground, but for double protection the company also offers carbon fibre tank sliders with Dupont Kevlar reinforcement to guard the tank edges. For the fork R&G has protectors that help prevent impact damage to the bottom of the suspension and brake calipers, with swingarm protectors and 'cotton-reels' also available for the rear of the bike, plus R&G's 'Shocktube' to encase the rear shock. Protection when parked is also provided by a kickstand shoe, which greatly increases the side stand footprint without affecting ground clearance.
