Fitment and clearance may vary depending on manufacturing tolerances and changes to crash bar designs. Verify clearance for your specific motorcycle and crash bar configuration before installation.

According to the manufacturer, the X-Head 1200 LC fits the following liquid-cooled BMW R 1200 models from 2013–2018:

• BMW R 1200 GS
• BMW R 1200 GS Adventure (GSA)
• BMW R 1200 RT
• BMW R 1200 R
• BMW R 1200 RS

Confirm your exact motorcycle model, year and existing crash bar setup before ordering.

Installation requires careful attention to the supplied hardware and specified tightening torque. Do not reuse the original OEM T-50 bolts.

When fitting the guards to a BMW R 1200 GS or GS Adventure already equipped with crash bars, the bars must be loosened or removed as necessary to provide sufficient working space, then reinstalled. Clearance must be checked after installation.

Professional installation by a qualified BMW motorcycle technician is recommended, especially if you are unsure about bolt tightening, torque requirements or crash bar clearance.
