The oil cooler guard protects the delicate oil cooler fins from damage that can be caused by damage from stones, insects and other airborne objects. It’s almost impossible to clean an oil cooler thoroughly without bending the aluminum fins and after the while the cooler starts to look shoddy. Fitting the oil cooler guard not only ensures that the cooler is protected but after a quick cleaning with a stiff brush, the bike always looks its best.
We now offer two versions of the oil cooler guard. The version that fits the 2005 – 2007 models is made of a durable stainless steel mesh bonded to a black anodized laser cut frame. It mounts using the same screws as the oil cooler itself, so it’s easy to install and it’s tidy and unobtrusive. All versions fit the standard R1200 GS as well as the Adventure
Starting with the 2008 model year, BMW redesigned this area of the GS and so a completely new design was created for the new model. The newly designed guard seamlessly matches the styling of the upper fender.
Please select the proper version for your year model.
Installation Instructions for the up to 2007 version are available under the Installation Instruction link above. 2008 and later instructions are available under the additional information link.

wicked |
| 30 second install with out removing half the front of the bike like all the other... mint! |
Good looking, not easy to instal |
| I end up removing the whole beak and mounted the guard into the beak, and then reinstaling everything. I put a small BMW logo in front of the guard and it looks great. |
I FOUND AN EASIER WAY TO INSTALL IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES |
| Clean the beak and guard with wax and grease remover ( prepsol ) Attach double sided automotive tape to the guard covering the hole in the guard at the top and all the way around the bottom to the other hole ( basically the top has no tape ). Loosen the two nuts underneath just enough to be able to move the flap to allow the guard to be put in ( like in the video. Remove the backing for the tape to expose the tape covering the holes on both sides and install the guard, fold down into position and remove the backing for the tape....job done. Clean up whole area with wax and grease remover and allow a few hours for the tape to set if you can. I took pics and it\'s ok for my email to be given out I will email my photos. |
Looks OEM |
| Installation is a little bit tricky - do not follow written directions but rather look at the video on the website. No need to remove anything except the temperature sensor. Space is a little tight but take it slow while tightening - need to use small wrench and do a little at a time until tight. Result looks fantastic and fits very well with the bike. |
Looks terrific |
| A bit of a bother to install. While am still uncertain that was able to get the screws tight enough as it is difficult to work in the space behind the guard when the guard is raised and impossible when in position. Perhaps there is another simpler way to install? A great product and I like the presentation much more than Touratec's version which I considered before buying this one. |

| Easy installation. Looks like an OEM part. Definitely an attractive addition and helps with debris. |
 ... Forget the Wunderlich Instructions ... |
| ... In my earlier review I made mention of reinstallation of the " Beak ". There is no removal ot reinstallation of the 'Beak " That actually was an error on my part, I meant to reference the " Flap " that sits on top of the Oil Cooler Guard ... My apologies !! |
.. Forget the Wunderlich Instructions ... |
| The installation instructions that come with the Oil Cooler Guard are way off base. All that nonsence about having to remove the windscreen, popping off wires, and removing the headlight assembly make the installation much more difficult and time consuming than it should be. I'm very glad I looked at the video prior to installing the guard. Follow the instuctions on the video. Safe to say it takes much less time and is a whole bunch easier. A little patience is needed in the removal and reinstallation of the Beak along with the Oil Cooler Guard. Once its on, it looks pretty decent. |
Oil cooler is great |
| Product is well worth the effort to install. |
Well done! |
| Very good product. Easy instalation. |
Oil Cooler Guard |
| Looks good, High quality as usual bu a bastard to fit. |
Oil Cooler Guard Installation |
| I ignored the written instructions and followed the online video to install this. It was an easy installation and took under an hour. Highly recommend. |
PAINFULL |
| I started and than stopped trying to install this cover. When you have to start disassembling the dash electronics, head lights, removing the windshield and portions of front fender its ridiculous for such a simple piece. |
Oil Cooler Guard |
| If you are like me and want it to look nice AND protect, than this is the one. When installed it looks like it belongs from the factory! Great product! Yes it is a pain to install but worth it. |
A little fiddley |
| The hardest part of installing this guard is not pulling the instrument cluster - it's fitting the allen head nuts, washers and bolts in proper sequence without dropping anything. I have a slick set of fine-ratchet pivoting head closed-end wrenches which make it much easier (thank you Sears). Take your time and don't rush it - all will go well. Matches the stock cover nicely. |
