High quality craftsmanship, no doubt. And the video instructions are essential - I had to watch several times. But beware, mounting those base nuts while accessing from underneath the GSA beak is quite a task. I had to wedge a small wood shim (eg., popsicle stick) on the top side to maintain pressure (preventing the nuts from popping out) and allow me to screw in the base bolts with a socket wrench from below. Lesson learned.

I found the product to be top quality but the installation process a bit frustrating. Highly recommend but search some videos on the others experience when installing to help make it smoother for you.
I did a short review video here you may find helpful.

R1250GS/ So far so good. Seems like quality and compliments look of bike. Works great. Cannot tell any difference in the lighting at night. Ride the interstate part way to work and back and just feel better having the expensive headlight protected. All my bikes and truck windshield have been hit and and minorly damaged from debris over the years. The ability to flip down the cover to clean etc is what sold it. Wasn’t the cheapest but not the most expensive either.

Always quality parts from this shop. The thoughtful engineering makes it easy with basic tools to do the installation. If it takes you 30 minutes, you didn't watch the video. Great product!

This looks great once installed. Read the review for installation tips for mounting the lexan with the rubber fastener from Tom Brown, it'll help. I didn't and spent time doing what he did trying to figure out how to attach the lexan to the frame. This is a very high quality piece and well engineered. Highly recommend.

Folding headlight guard

Well engineered and designed. This was my choice over several of the other guards that are offered for my 2023 1250 GSA. It has a great folding mechanism and it’s easy to clean both the Lexan and the headlight. Installation is a bit tricky, but the video is very good. Written instructions are very marginal. on my trim, triple black, I had to manually pull back the plastic fascia in order to get the lower nut to fit down into the recessed channel for the lower Allen screw. For the Lexan connection to the metal frame, the screws for the rubber washers are purposely slightly short, and you have to put some tension /pressure on these as you are screwing them into the rubber washer in order to capture the thread and provide compression as you are screwing the screw into the threaded component of the rubber nut. You Do not need to buy longer screws as some have suggested. Overall, I give this five stars and it definitely complements the engineering of the BMW MOTORCYCLE

There is a key point that is missed in the instructions. I have a GSA and wanted a Lexan cover for the headlight. The Lexan piece screws in with 4 fasteners. They thread through the holes in the holder and the Lexan, then into 4 rubber posts with a brass threaded piece inside. If you put this together as the illustration shows, the 4 screws will not touch the inner threads of the rubber posts. So...you have to really push hard on them until they do...and this is not made clear. I tried putting the posts in backwards and lots of other things before finally trying this. I was about the return the whole thing. When you push hard, the threads can engage, then they compress the rubber cause it to expand against the holes in the Lexan, holding it firmly close to, but not touching the metal holder and away from the light source. Perfect!!! It's a great design. The resistance of the hinges can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the threaded hinge bolts a litle. The washer set allows them to hold the tension. I put a little vaseline in the rubber fasteners to make them a little easier to undo. They're pretty tight. Silicone would probably do as well or better. I wanted something that would be easy to clean, wouldn't destroy the optics of the light and would look good. This does all that. Great!.

Originally with my bike, I had ordered the OEM headlight guard, but when I started to install it, I was sorely disappointed so I took it back. It leaves a gap in between the headlight and the screen which makes cleaning the surface of either quite difficult, unless you get some tools and remove it. I really like how this one has a hinge on the bottom and you just swivel it down to clean it. While it is attached, it's really a strong hold, so even over rough road it has not come undone.

This is a must have accessory, typically made well and easy enough to fit. My two very small complaints with it are: 1, The Self Locking Nuts that are supplied to attach the “Studs” for the quick release sockets, are far too stiff to fit to the Plastic stud. There is no way to hold the stud without damaging it while doing up the nuts. I replaced these with standard nuts and spring washers. 2, If at all possible, could the hinge points have been designed to be Behind the guard rather than out in front. Just a small issue, but it may have looked better.. Fast and efficient delivery to NZ. Thankyou.
