Description

Front Brake Reservoir Protector, Silver

Both front hydraulic reservoirs are mounted in a fairly exposed position, and even a minor fall can cause expensive damage and maybe the premature end of a holiday trip...After three of our own damaged reservoirs, we designed these complexly structured protectors which are mounted and supported through several strong mounting points. In order to be able to absorb impacts a relatively thick aluminum was chosen. Lightening slots were machined in to ensure the end product is strong, light and also looks good. Can be used with or without fitted original hand protectors. Sold complete with fitting kit.

Protection is worth the price

Since the front brake reservoir is mostly plastic, investing in a metal protector makes sense. This one's made of thick but lightweight aluminum, so it looks like it can resist almost anything. If this breaks, the rest of your bike is gonna be dead anyway! Installation is straightforward. I suggest you install the handlebar bracket first, positioning it so that you can get to the bolts and nuts. After that, you can rotate it into position and then screw in the mirror.

Will Not Fit 14' F800GS Adventure

I should have read the reviews first. The stock OEM Hand-guards will prohibit the installation. I emailed the Wunderlich tech dept. and they never responded. Unfortunately, their service has been slipping over the last couple of years.

Easy Install

Took about 7 minutes to get out the right tools and install. Tight fit and it remains to be seen what kind of a crash this will protect from.

Easy Install

Took about 7 minutes to get out the right tools and install on my 2011 BMW R1200 GS. Tight fit and it remains to be seen what kind of a crash this will protect from.

Fine looking

I like the look better than other brands, purchased the black to keep a more subtle look and it worked well for my taste, not as loud. The material is strong and it seems it would protect if necessary. Installation was simple, since it attaches to the mirror ... It could get a little tricky ... But not difficult.

Nice looking and strong cover

Very nice product, easy to install although it would take a little time to adjust the mirror mount after bracket is in place. Wanted the black color and it really looks nice! Not as rustic on the bike. The material is very good quality and it seems very strong to resist hard impact.

Ease of Installation

Product very easy to install on an \\\\\\\'09 GSA. Knowing what I know now and seeing product on the bike I would have purchased the black unit as the silver, in conjunction with silver brake reservoir protector, is pretty bright against the black controls on the bar ends. Small potatoes.

nice protection

This unit is good quality and easy to install. Since it mounts in two places on the handlebar (to the mirror post, and to a supplied handlebar bracket) I feel like it will actually protect the reservoir if ever needed. Some of the competitors units simply mount to the reservoir itself offering little actual protection.

Great part.

I don't know how the Wunderlich version compares to all the other after market guards out there but I like the black anodized finish and the simple installation. It seems like it will serve its intended purpose well.

Nice touch.

I installed both the clutch reservoir and the front brake reservoir guards (black) on my 2010 BMW GSA. They look really good! Assuming these two parts are indeed vulnerable in a "get off" which I do out in the dirt sometimes, they are well worth the investment.

Great Quality and Look

I installed this product on my new R 1200 GS 2012. The item is well built and designed. easy to install and really fits well on the bike, add this to the clutch reservoir and you will have the comfort of safety to these critical parts in case of a tip over and the great look of the bike. Strongly recommend it for both reasons functionality and looks.

Great Addition

I installed this product on my R 1200 GS 2012, I have not tested this product for its effectiveness, but the product built and fit on the bike looks great. It adds more personality to the bike. I strongly recommend it. Other GS owners will query about it.
