• Debris Protection: Specially designed louvers deflect sticks and trail debris before they can puncture the radiator, protecting the cooling system on demanding off-road terrain.
• Airflow Maintained: The louver design simultaneously channels airflow through the radiator, so the engine stays cool even with the guard in place.
• Impact Distributed: A robust 4-inch (101.6 mm) mounting tab spreads impact forces evenly across the guard, preventing concentrated damage from a single hard hit.
• Proper Clearance: The guard sits a minimum 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) from the radiator face, ensuring heat can escape freely and the guard never contacts the core.
• Easy Install: Installs by removing three existing shroud bolts and reinserting the guard — no extra hardware, no spacers, no fairing removal required.
• Material: Anodized aluminum
• Thickness: 1/16 in (1.6 mm)
• Mounting Tab: 4 in (101.6 mm)
• Radiator Clearance: Minimum 1/2 in (12.7 mm)
• Height (each): 10 in (25.4 cm)
• Width (each): 6.5 in (16.5 cm)
• Weight (each): 0.25 lb (0.11 kg)
• Overall Dimensions: 10 × 6.25 × 3 in
BMW R 1200 GSW Adventure (2018-2019)
Adding water cooling to the R 1200 GS Adventure gave the boxer engine real performance gains. It also added a component that needs protection on the trail. A stick through the radiator core ends your ride.
The AltRider Radiator Guard is made from 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) anodized aluminum. The louver design deflects trail debris before it reaches the core, while still directing airflow through the radiator so the engine runs at proper temperature. The guard sits a minimum 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) from the radiator face to keep airflow moving freely.
Installation uses only the three existing shroud bolts. Remove them, set the guard in place, reinstall the shroud. No extra hardware, no spacers, no fairing removal. The guard geometry matches the shroud contours exactly, and the 4-inch mounting tab distributes any impact forces evenly rather than concentrating them at a single point.
Available in anodized black or silver.
