Cylinder Guards

I've been shopping for some cylinder guards and a left hand valve cover after a slide that damaged the left side of my 2018 R1200RS. I see that some manufacturers list the R1200/R/RT/GS and RS as compatible and some manufactures don't list the RS. Is this an oversight or is there really a difference between the cylinders on these models.

Those manufacturers who don't list the RS apparently aren't aware of the RS as a BMW "R" model ... wonder how that happened ...

Those 1200s have a different head.

Once you find your valve cover, Machine Art Moto XHeads are an excellent protection option. If you're so inclined, I have a set of Krauser tubular bars that need a home.

@Duccrazydave, do those Krauser bars require longer cables and will they work on a 1250 RS?

Right, Lee. Sorry, Motorhead 1977, I was responding to the cylinder head protection part of dravnx's post. The bars are for the R1200RS.

Thanks for clearing that up. Guess I was just being hopeful
