MachineartMoto X-Head DOHC Engine Guard for BMW R1200
Fits 2010-2012 R1200 models: GS, RT, R
X-Head DOHC covers 80% of the face of the cylinder head to protect not only the bottom initial impact area in a drop, but also the upper part of the cylinder head. Even in a driveway drop, the inertia of a fall may cause a bike to roll briefly onto the face of the cylinder before it settles down on its bottom edge. X-Heads cover more area than OEM and other aftermarket head guards.
X-Head DOHC are molded in a DuPont "SuperTough" nylon selected for its blend of high-impact strength, temperature and UV stabilization. The injection molded shell is designed to give slightly in the event of an impact to prevent breakage. Between it and the cylinder head is a 7mm thick thermoplastic rubber liner that aids in dissipating impact force while preventing hard contact with the cylinder.
Each side mounts via the included 3 stainless steel fasteners coated with Nyloc thread locking compound to assure a tight installation.
X-Heads fit with BMW OEM, Adventure Designs crash bar extensions, Touratech, SW Motech, and Hepco Becker crash bars. They do not fit with Z-Tecknik bars. If your bars fit BMW's OEM cylinder guards, they will fit with the X-Heads.
If your crash bars have had an impact, check that there is still a minimum of 15mm clearance between the crash bars and the X-Heads.
Sold in pairs.

These are very nice looking items and look great on the bike. Beware that they do require a little "massaging" in order to fit, but once you stretch them a little they will go on nicely.

The Machineartmoto cylinder head cover for the BMW DOHC boxers is great.
Installation is very easy if you follow the directions and install the bolts in the correct order. Go out of order and the bolts do not line up easily.
Removing the RT fairing took 10x longer than installing the head covers.

Good sturdy protect to protect BMW valve cover ends on their boxer engine. I rated it lower on installation, as there are three screws for attaching the guard to the engine. The first two are easy. The third is difficult because the product fits so tight over the valve cover....hard to line up the last screw from the engine guard to the corresponding hole in the engine...it's a bit of a stretch to get it to fit. Should have another 16th of an inch or so play to make it easier.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am very pleased with my MachineartMoto X-Heads. As usual, my RevZilla shopping experience was first rate. The MachineartMoto X-Heads look great, especially on my R1200GS Triple Black. Installation was about 20-25 mins. It would have been less but the tolerances are very tight and it takes a little effort to get the top rear bolt aligned. I rated "performance" and "durability" as excellent even though the bike has never been down. The surface coverage and design gives me a great deal of confidence that they will perform well if required.
