MachineartMoto X-Head DOHC
$189.00
MachineartMoto X-Head for BMW R1200/R1200R
Fits all 2005-2009 R1200 hexhead models and 2010 R1200R. GS, RT, R, ST, MegaMoto, HP-2
X-Head Cylinder Guards provide wide coverage in a tough, 5mm thick stylish shape that protects the vulnerable magnesium valve covers of R1200 hexhead engines. When a bike is dropped, even at a standstill, a cylinder first hits the ground at its front corner, then rolls onto its face before settling back down on the lower edge. The wide coverage X-Head design protects both the valve and spark plug covers. Openings in the face are designed-in to provide air flow over the valve cover, while the molded-in texture at the bottom will help hide minor abrasion.
X-Heads are molded in a high temperature resistant nylon and installation takes five minutes - slightly longer on RT’s - with included stainless steel bolts. The bolt threads are coated with Nyloc thread locking patch to keep the bolts from loosening.
X-Heads fit with BMW OEM, Touratech, SW Motech, Adventure Designs crash bar extensions 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.

Looks to be a very durable product for protecting BMW engine valve covers. They really look good on the bike, but too bad they cannot come in a silver color to match the engine color. The install is not easy. Both sides of the plastic have to come off on a R1200RT to get these covers on. So, plan your time accordingly.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Easy install. Haven't tested it yet with the misfortune of dropping the bike but it looks like it could absorb a slow drop without damage to the head cover.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Very well made product. I gave it a "Good" on installation because they fit so snug. You really need to exert force to get the hole from the engine guard to line up with the corresponding hole on the engine that the screws go into. There are 3 screws, and putting the last screw in takes quite a bit of effort. From what I've read, you cannot use "crash bars" if you have these engine guards on.
Yes, I recommend this product.
