    Engine Protection Bars, Silver

    With these engine bars, we've applied our extensive experience in Engine Protection Bar design and once again hit a home run. This completely new design, developed especially for the R1200 RT, provides outstanding protection in more ways than one. Not only does it protect the valve covers from damage, it also protects the sump. The engine guard securely mounts at six optimally placed mounting points which share the load and protect from serious damage in most tip over situations. Cornering clearance is not compromised and all routine maintenance can be carried out without the need for removal. Installation is easily carried out with basic tools and no cutting or modification of any type is required. The engine protection bar is available in either a chrome finish or powder coated silver. The bar looks great and integrates perfectly with the RT's design.

    Check out these facts:
    • • Even load distribution
    • • Protects cylinders and fairing
    • • Protects sump and oil filter
    • • Strong mounting system
    • • Removal not required for maintenance
    • • Precision steel construction
    • • Cornering clearance not compromised
    • • Easy to install
    • • No modifications needed
    • • Available in silver or chrome (chrome under Related Products tab)
    Please note the following:
    • These bars are not designed to be compatible with the Original BMW accessory valve cover protectors.


    Please Note: The video for this product shows a bike that also has the saddlebag protection bars installed.

    all I wanted
    (Waltham, MA) | July 11th, 2013
    This engine guard is just what I wanted. Easy to put on took about � hour. Looks good matches the silver paint on the bike. Let me mount highway pegs in a good position. Hope it will protect my bike, have not tested it yet.
    Needs better installation instructions
    (Deerfield, Illinois) | June 3rd, 2013
    Excellent product but needs better installation instructions. Front bar need to be marked which side is left and which is right. If this gets taken care of no problems what so ever.
    Talk About Difficult!!
    (Denver, Pa) | May 27th, 2013
    Boy were these a bear to instal! The installation directions do not even tell you about a screw that you have to remove on the clutch side of the engine! Luckily, I was able to get help reading some of the other reviews on this website. Then getting the pieces to properly align was just about impossible! I almost gave up, but miraculously, they finally came together! It took a lot longer than I had hoped. They do look nice, once installed. They also provide some form of protection for the engine in the event of a fall. Unfortunately, I got a chance to try them out when my bike took a spill in my shed. I had the saddle bag guards on as well and while the bike did not suffer any damage, the guards themselves did get scuffed up. That makes me wonder how they would fair on macadam and while actually moving because they got scuffed up falling onto the wooden floor of my shed. Overall, though, I am very pleased with this purchase.

    the more protection the better
    (Hinton, IA) | April 3rd, 2013
    after I removed the chessy plastic valve cover protectors my dealer sold me, the installation of the wunderluch engine protection bars was easy and took about 30 minutes. The finish matches the color of my lowers, so they look like they belong, and match the saddle bag protectors I installed first. Good sturdy product will protect the paint and plastic in the event of a tip over, well worth the money.
    Look Great!
    (Magnolia , Tx) | November 21st, 2012
    Because I had read previous reviews, installation was easy. The tip to remove a bolt on the left side of the engine got me off on the right course. By leaving all bolts hand threaded hole alignment was not too difficult. This technique is usually standard practice for any assembly with multiple connection points, much like racks for panniers. Also, I like to have a little tension on the components when they are tightened down. I used a touch of blue lock tight and lock washers too.
    Nice Product, but some issues
    (Prairieville, LA) | October 26th, 2012
    These bars are solid protection for the engine, and look great with the bike, and combined with the case protection bars, gives a nice look and solid tip-over protection for the RT. There are a couple of issues however. Considering the expense of this item, the hardware supplied is cheap, and causes some problems getting the bolts threaded into place. I replaced ALL the mounting hardware with locally obtained stainless steel items, and things mounted up much better. The lower mounting bar attached to the bottom of the engine requires some leverage to get the bolt holes to match up with the engine. This appears to be a problem with whatever jig is being used to weld the tabs onto the tubing. A major issue was the right side (brake side) crossover bar mounting bolt. The supplied unit is too long, and when I was running it in with my ratchet wrench and socket, it bottomed out on the engine and sheared the head off the cheap bolt that came with the kit. This necessitated extracting the broken stud (PITA), and obtaining a much shorter bolt, now stainless steel. Other than these problems, it is a nice addition to the bike, and the bars can be removed easily for engine service before taking to the dealership. A really nice feature is that these bars fit over the GS style metal engine guards, so you can have a lot of protection for the cylinders.
    Engine protection bars
    (Los Lunas, NM) | September 20th, 2012
    The finish is very good. The installation instructions omitted a very important step. The bolt for the top cross over bar has a vacant threaded hole it fits right in. On the left side, there is a bolt that NEEDS TO BE REMOVED before you can fit the bar. That should be the first step in installing the top cross-over bar. Once you follow the instructions and loosely attach the bolt on the right side, the left side is right over the bolt that needs to be removed. Otherwise it all went together well and is solid. I did notice that the side bars did not slide all the way onto the top cross over bar, but since the side bars had set screws, I figured that was part of the design to accommodate slight differences between bikes and installations.

    Cake walk to install. It's nice knowing the protection is there just in case. These are rock solid. Look good too.

    As several add ons were being installed at the same time I took off 75% of the tupperware to accomplish everything at one time. The Bars went in fairly easy doing the install by myself, though a second set of hands would helped to align the upper bolts.

    Good fit, no straining required to fit, about an hour to install but I took the fairing off to ease insatllation so took a bit longer. Looks good and unobtrusive but a bit crude on the underside with exposed bolts.
