Head Protectors for 1250 Boxers

Discreet, lightweight and easy to fit, Wunderlich Xtreme Cylinder Head Protectors shield the 1250cc BMW Boxer twin’s vulnerable valve covers against costly and unsightly damage.

As many R-series BMW owners will know, the Boxer engine’s exposed valve and spark plug covers are constantly at risk of damage from stones, dirt and other debris thrown up from the road or trail.

Made from a tough, impact-resistant and durable plastic, Wunderlich’s Xtreme Cylinder Head Protectors act as a barrier against flying debris and provide an extra defence against scratches caused by static and low speed tumbles.

Each cover is contoured specially to wrap around each cylinder head, covering 85% of the surface, and is designed not to protrude or snag on branches and other undergrowth.

They fix directly to each head – no complex fitting kits or modifications needed, add minimal weight, and are styled to match the latest generation R-series’ styling. Since they’re plastic, they’re also corrosion-free.

The Protectors can be used on their own or fitted alongside engine bars for complete protection, and they are easy to remove for maintenance.

Wunderlich Xtreme Cylinder Head Protectors cost £199.00 per pair (including VAT) – a fraction of the cost of a replacement rocker cover – and are available exclusively through the UK’s no.1 for BMW motorcycle accessories, www.nippynormans.com

They fit the following models: R 1250 GS and Adventure, R 1250 R, R 1250 RS and R 1250 RT. They are compatible with the original BMW engine bars.

Extra protection for BMW 1250 Boxers

A simple solution to a potentially costly problem, Wunderlich’s R 1250 GS Engine Protection Cover protects the vulnerable Boxer engine casings from dirt and debris thrown up by the front wheel.

Sitting directly in the path of stones, road grime, grit and everything else thrown up by the front tyre, the 1250cc engine’s front casing can quickly pick up unsightly chips and marks – or worse.
Made from impact-resistant, corrosion-free plastic, Wunderlich’s Engine Cover forms a tough barrier between the casing and the front wheel, stopping harmful debris from getting anywhere near the alloy cover.
Precision contoured for a perfect fit, the cover won’t affect cornering clearance or access for servicing and repairs.
It’s quick and easy to mount, attaching via four existing points on the engine casing – no fiddly brackets or complex fitting kits – and unlike metal versions, adds minimal weight.
Alongside the GS, it can also be fitted to the R 1250 GS Adventure, 1250 R and 1250 RS, as well as selected liquid-cooled R 1200 models.
Finished in black to blend in with the GS styling, the Wunderlich Engine Protection Cover retails at £99.00 including VAT – a fraction of the cost of a replacement engine casing.

It’s available exclusively from the UK’s Number 1 BMW accessory specialist www.nippynormans.com

Feet First With Wunderlich On BMW GS

A simple and inexpensive upgrade, Wunderlich Footpeg Rubbers give much-needed extra comfort and grip to the standard footpegs of the BMW R 1200 and 1250 GS Adventure.

Tailored for off-road use, the original metal footpegs of the 1200 and 1250 Adventure can be problematic during everyday road riding; the spiked grips offering little in the way of comfort or vibration damping and – as many riders will attest – often causing painful injuries to the shins when manoeuvring.

Wunderlich Footpeg Rubbers completely envelop the original peg’s ‘unfriendly’ teeth, protecting footwear and keeping shins pain-free.

Each rubber is wider and longer than the original pegs, so gives a larger platform for the foot. A specially profiled surface provides added grip too – significantly more than the original metal surface in wet conditions.

They also help reduce the transfer of engine vibrations to the feet – particularly welcome on longer stretches.

Each Footpeg Rubber is precisely shaped to fit the standard pegs perfectly, and they attach using two screw fastenings, so when the terrain gets rough, they can be removed quickly and easily.

They’re made from extra tough material which is impervious to weather, remains flexible at very low temperatures, and is chemical and UV-resistant.

Wunderlich Footpeg Rubbers retail at just £39.00 a pair, and are available from the UK’s No.1 for BMW Motorcycle accessories www.nippynormans.com

They fit the following models:

  • R 1200 GS Rallye TE if Enduro Footpegs fitted
  • R 1250 GS Rallye TE if Enduro Footpegs fitted
  • R 1200 GS Adventure (2014 to 2018)
  • R 1250 GS Adventure


Luggage, Wunderlich

Wunderlich Nets BMW

New from Wunderlich, luggage nets are a neat way to use the often redundant space in the lid of BMW aluminum side and top cases, and keep kit organised.

Made from hard-wearing 5mm thick nylon netting and designed to fit neatly inside the lid of BMW OE aluminium boxes, Luggage Nets maximise storage capacity and help keep essentials like rainwear, travel documents, tools and first aid kits clear of other kit and easily accessible.

Quick and easy to fit, the nets attach using suspension struts, which are inserted into existing rivet heads inside the panniers – so there’s no drilling extra holes or removing rivets, and the panniers stay weather-tight.

Each net measures 420 x 270mm, maximising the space inside each pannier lid. They carry kit well clear of other contents, so they don’t interfere with opening or closing of the lids, or taking pannier liners and other items in and out.

Unlike external nets or bags which attach to the top of pannier lids, they keep items fully protected from the weather and out of sight.

Wunderlich Luggage Nets are suitable for all bikes with original BMW aluminium panniers and/or top cases fitted, and retail at £39.00, including VAT.

Luggage Nets for BMW Vario side and top cases are also available, for just £14.00.

They’re available from the UK’s #1 for BMW Accessories – www.nippynormans.com

Engine Protection Bars For BMW R 1250 RT

Wunderlich Engine Bars keep the BMW R1250 RT’s engine casings, cylinder heads and valve covers protected during static and low speed falls – all too easy on a fully loaded tourer like the RT – without adding excess width or weight.

Made from robust 25mm steel tubing –  a diameter specifically chosen to give maximum strength for minimum weight – Wunderlich’s Engine Protection Bars attach to the RT via six existing points on the frame, to spread impact evenly and absorb kinetic energy without damaging other components.
Precision-shaped on CNC bending machines, they offer complete protection to the valve cover (even in serious spills), and feature a protective base frame that protects the sump and oil filter.

They are, of course, designed to follow the contours of the RT’s Boxer engine closely, so they won’t compromise ground clearance or cornering ability, and allow full access for maintenance and servicing.

The bars can be fitted in conjunction with Wunderlich’s Cylinder Head Guards and also act as a mounting point for Wunderlich Spotlights. They are part of a wide range of accessories produced for the new RT by the German firm.

Wunderlich Engine Bars fit all 2019-on R1250 RT models, come in a choice of Black, Chrome or Silver finishes, and retail at £269.00 per set, including VAT.

They are available from Wunderlich’s exclusive UK partner www.nippynormans.com

Wunderlich Put 1250 GS Behind Bars

Discreet, lightweight and very tough, Wunderlich’s new Stainless Engine Bars for the latest generation R 1250 GS and Adventure offer protection without adding excess width or weight.

Low speed and static tumbles are not only embarrassing, they can be very expensive; a damaged engine casing, cylinder head or valve cover can disrupt or even halt a journey, and can be incredibly costly to fix.

Wunderlich’s new Engine Bars are made from 25mm stainless steel tubing, a diameter specifically chosen to give maximum strength for minimum weight. Precision-shaped on CNC bending machines, they are then cleanly welded in moulds for accuracy and a consistent joint.

Attached via mountings to existing points on the frame, for uniform force distribution, the engine bars are designed to follow the contours of the Boxer engine closely, so they won’t compromise ground clearance or cornering ability, and allow full access for maintenance and servicing.

A central mount acts as a pivot point during a fall, and each side has integrated valve cover protection.

Wunderlich Stainless Engine Bars for the latest-generation R1250 GS and GS Adventure models are available in ‘standard’ Stainless finish – which is glass bead blasted and electro-polished for corrosion resistance and a long life, as well as Black, HP Blue and White versions, which are all powder coated. They retail at £259.00 per set, including VAT.

Handy Guard For BMW R 1250 GS

New to the Wunderlich catalogue, Hand Protector Extenders for the latest generation R 1250 GS / Adv and S 1000 XR dual sport bikes.

Although all these models come with protectors as standard, they offer only basic cover against wind chill, rain and debris thrown up from the road or trail.

Wunderlich Hand Protector Extenders increase the surface area considerably, offering much more effective protection; keeping the hands well covered and the rider’s focus on the controls.

Made from highly durable, scratch and break-resistant ABS plastic, they are quick, and easy to fit – attaching via the existing hand protector mounts and need no additional brackets or fixings.

They come in either Black finish, to match the original guards, or transparent Smoke Grey. Both versions retail at £119, come with full installation instructions and are covered by a five-year warranty for complete peace of mind.

They fit the S 1000 XR and the R 1250 GS, as well as all 1200 models post-2013.

Wunderlich Hand Protector Extenders are  available through Wunderlich’s Exclusive Partner in the UK www.nippynormans.com

Take Control With Vario Levers

A revolution in ergonomics, Wunderlich Vario Levers are now available to fit the BMW R 1250 GS, putting the control back in the hands of the rider, with precise two-way adjustment for comfort, control and safety in all conditions.

Unlike other brake and clutch levers, Wunderlich Vario Levers are adjustable for both reach and length, allowing the rider to tailor clutch and brake control to suit his/her hand size, style of riding and the road.

Vario Levers allow precise operation of the clutch and brake with two or three fingers, without pinching the remaining finger/s.

A generous 12.7mm (0.5in) of reach adjustment is possible, however it feels like more – unlike most OE levers, the blade is shaped to sit parallel to the handlebar.

The reach can also be adjusted while riding – useful when dealing with a changing pressure point, when riding on the track or negotiating a technical, twisty route – thanks to the unique adjustment wheel, which is easy to operate, even with thick winter gloves.

Length adjustment is quickly and easily carried out by loosening the set screw, selecting the desired length, and re-tightening.

Each Vario Lever is machined from anodized aluminium, with all materials and processes conforming to aircraft standards, tested and approved to the strict German TÜV.

They’re also tough and even fully extended can withstand a force of over 130 pounds.

Wunderlich Vario Levers for the BMW R 1250 GS retail at £109.00 each, including VAT and are available for most models of BMW, including F series, K series and R series machines .They’re available through Wunderlich’s Exclusive Partner in the UK www.nippynormans.com

Easy Parking With Wunderlich

The Easy Park from Wunderlich makes light work of moving, parking and positioning heavy bikes – ideal for small spaces and those with multiple bikes to manoeuvre.

The Easy Park allows you to shift a bike while it’s parked on the centre stand. You can move the machine in any direction and rotate it through 360 degrees, making positioning in tight garages and sheds easier, freeing up floor space and allowing access to other vehicles.

It’s also great for winter storage of bikes, enabling them to be tucked close to a wall or in the corner out of the way, and then easily retrieved come spring time.

Built to last, the Easy Park is made from 9mm thick galvanized steel plate and has four ball-bearing, twin casters that can be locked in position.

The platform is large enough to take the centre stand of most machines comfortably, and has a slip-resistant rubber mat on the top surface.

Ground clearance is also adjustable, to help tailor the Easy Park to the bike and the surface on which it is positioned.

Wunderlich’s Easy Park comes in two sizes:

Medium: suitable for any bike with a centre stand weighing 700 Lbs (320 kilos) or less, priced £139-; and Large: for bikes weighing 880 Lbs (400 kilos) or less, priced £159-.

Wunderlich Pad-Out R 1200 GS

Wunderlich’s new Tank Pad Set for the latest generation BMW R 1200 GS / Rallye help improve control and feel on and off road, as well as protecting the paintwork.

Made from a soft, durable PU material the pads enable riders to grip the petrol tank securely with their knees; helping to maintain good body positioning on the road, and stability when standing on the pegs for off-road riding.

In addition, the pads protect the paintwork from dents, scratches and wear from rubbing, which reduces the need for expensive re-painting and repairs.

The Pads are quick and easy to attach using the pre-applied self-adhesive – no fiddly fitting kits or messy glues. They’re designed to follow the lines of the bike’s tank and are coloured and textured to blend in with the other black parts.

The Tank Pad Set fits all 2017-on, liquid-cooled BMW R 1200 GS models. Compact versions, designed to sit under the decals on the R 1200 GS Rallye and Exclusive, are also available.

It has a wide-neck to make filling, checking levels and cleaning easy; a sturdy twist-to-fit cap to keep contents in, while keeping dust, dirt and other contaminants out.

Glaring Issue Cured By Wunderlich

BMW accessory specialists Wunderlich have added Glare Shields for the latest TFT screens.

Summer sunshine can brighten up any ride, but it can also make a bike’s dash display tricky to read; leaving the rider at risk of missing out on key information like speed, fuel and fluid levels, along with warning lights, indicators and other crucial information.

Specifically designed for the latest BMW TFT dash display units, Wunderlich Glare Shields help stop reflections and glare from the sun obscuring the screen and the information displayed.

Made from tough, UV and impact-resistant ABS, they are fixed with a simple ‘click-to-fit’ system – no drilling or gluing required – so they stay securely attached, even at higher speeds, yet are easily removable should the rider wish.

Tailor made for each model, they’re designed to offer maximum coverage of the display without hindering the operation of the unit in any way. Finished in black, they also blend with each model’s styling.

Like most of Wunderlich’s range, Glare Shields are made in Germany and come with a five-year guarantee for complete peace of mind.Prices start from £30, including VAT.

Wunderlich Paralever Protector

Wunderlich’s new Paralever Protector sits beneath the rear axle drive on liquid-cooled BMW Boxer twins and protects the hollow-drilled rear axle and the Paralever joint from spills on the road and impacts off it.

Both the rear drive housing and joint are vulnerable to contact with large objects like high kerbs, tree roots or rocks and boulders, and from stones and other debris thrown up from the road or trail.

Made from 3mm stainless steel and shaped to wrap around the lower section of the drive and housing, Wunderlich’s new Paralever Protector helps guard the drive’s light alloy casing.

It mounts via existing points on the drive, adding minimal weight and won’t affect cornering or ground clearance. It also allows full access for servicing and maintenance and doesn’t affect rear-wheel removal.

Powder coated in black, to help prevent corrosion and blend in with the R-series’ styling.

Wunderlich’s rear axle sliders can also be used with the Paralever Protector in place, for added protection.

The Paralever Protector fits all liquid-cooled R-series models, including the R 1200 GS and Adventure, R 1200 R, RS and RT, and retails at £109.00 Including VAT – a fraction of the cost of a replacement drive unit.

Action/Dash Cameras, Wunderlich

Wunderlich GoPro Mounts

Stable, secure and discreet, Wunderlich’s new mounts are a safe and simple way to fix a GoPro to almost any current BMW motorcycle.

Action cameras are becoming increasingly commonplace with motorcyclists, but finding suitable on-bike mounting points can prove tricky, with many owners resorting to precarious positioning and complex mounting solutions.

Designed to bolt onto existing mounting points – for the screen, headlight or indicator, depending on the model of bike – there are no suction cups, straps or other fiddly mountings to worry about. Neither is it necessary to drill or cut the bodywork.

Made from precision-cut aluminium alloy, they weigh very little, and feature rubber mountings to help cut out vibration when filming.

The GoPro camera attaches directly to the bracket – no additional adapters or hardware needed – and the bracket is discreet enough to leave in place when the camera isn’t attached.

Mounts are currently available for a wide range of BMW models.

Prices start from just £69.00 for the S1000R and S1000RR; kits for the F800 Adventure cost £75 and the R1200GS LC kits are £89.00.

Secure Your BMW RT Sat Nav With Wunderlich

Wunderlich’s Security and Glare Shield offers peace of mind for BMW R1200RT LC owners concerned about losing their expensive Navigator system to thieves.

BMW’s optional Navigator system for the R1200 RT doesn’t offer any provision for securing it to the bike, leaving it vulnerable opportunist thieves if the bike is left unattended (e.g. at fuel stops). Wunderlich’s easily mounted kit prevents this.

Simple to fit and operate, the Security Shield fixes the Navigator firmly in place beneath a metal bracket. The sat nav can only be removed using the Shield’s high-quality, key-operated lock.

Shaped to shade the Navigator system from the sun’s glare, the Shield also helps the rider see instructions on the screen clearly in bright light.

Made in Germany and covered by a 5-year guarantee, it can be fitted quickly and easily,with no modifications to the bike. Clear instructions are included.

The Wunderlich Navigator Security and Glare Shield fits all liquid-cooled BMW R1200RT models and retails at £89.00 including VAT.

The stripes are made from high quality, weather and UV-resistant material, which will not deteriorate or fade with time.

It is self-adhesive, so there are no messy glues or solutions to worry about, and the pack comes with clear instructions and markings to make fitting a doddle.

Once on, the special adhesive holds the stripes firmly in place; no special treatments are required to look after it – simply wash your machine in the normal way.

The Kit comes in classic pure white, to complement the R nineT’s black tank, and costs £69 including VAT. It’s available from the exclusive UK distributor for Wunderlich: www.nippynormans.com
