AltRider Headlight Guard Kit with Stainless Steel Lens for the BMW R 1200 & R 1250 GS /GSA

A damaged BMW GS headlight can cost up to $1,800 to replace. This kit gives you two ways to protect it before that happens. A broken headlight will impact your adventure and riding with a broken light can put you in trouble with the local authorities when Adventuring fare from home.

The stainless steel mesh face deflects rocks and debris while keeping your light on the road. The polycarbonate face — made from the same material used in bulletproof windows — handles harder impacts and resists scratches front and rear. Both faces click onto the same stainless frame using a custom aluminum ball-and-rubber-socket connection. No vibration, no tools needed to swap or remove them for cleaning.

The frame anchors to all four corners of the headlight. Installation does not require removing the blinker stalks or any bodywork. All metal edges are laser-cut and grain finished. Fits both halogen and LED headlights, including the BMW Adaptive Headlight.

A cracked or shattered GS headlight means between $800 and $1,800 in replacement costs from BMW. The AltRider Headlight Guard puts a proven barrier in front of that expense. Or even worse it can put stress and compications to you Adventure.

The face is precision-cut from impact-resistant polycarbonate — the same material used in bullet-proof windows — with a hardened scratch-resistant coating on both front and rear surfaces. It attaches to the stainless steel frame using a custom machined aluminum ball and rubber socket that holds firm against vibration and releases in seconds for cleaning, no tools needed.

The stainless steel frame anchors at all four corners of the headlight to spread and absorb impacts. Installation uses OEM bolts at the top and provided hardware at the bottom — no blinker stalk removal, no bodywork disassembly. The guard fits both halogen and LED headlights, including adaptive headlights, and is compatible with Rallye and Exclusive models.

A damaged BMW GS headlight can cost up to $1,800 to replace. This stainless steel mesh face lets you protect it without replacing your existing AltRider headlight guard frame. A broken headlight will impact your adventure and riding with a broken light can put you in trouble with the local authorities when Adventuring fare from home.

The mesh pattern deflects rocks and debris while minimizing light loss. It attaches to the frame with a custom aluminum ball-and-rubber-socket connection — vibration-free and removable by hand in seconds for cleaning. The face is interchangeable with all versions of the AltRider headlight guard, so you can swap between stainless and polycarbonate lenses as conditions change.

Fits both halogen and LED headlights, including the BMW Adaptive Headlight.

A rock through your GS headlight is more than an inconvenience. BMW headlight replacements run between $800 and $1,800 depending on the unit. This guard is the cheaper insurance policy. Or even worse it can put stress and compications to you Adventure.

The steel mesh pattern was developed specifically to deflect debris without reducing illumination. The frame anchors at all four corners of the headlight, giving it a solid base that absorbs impacts rather than transferring them. All metal edges are laser-cut and grain finished. Both the frame and mesh face come in powdercoat black, which holds up well against rust and weathering over years of hard use.

The ball-and-socket fasteners are custom machined aluminum with rubber sockets. They hold the mesh face firmly without vibration, and let you pull the face off for cleaning without any tools. Installation doesn't require removing the blinker stalks or any bodywork. The guard fits halogen and LED headlights, including the BMW Adaptive Headlight, and is interchangeable with other AltRider headlight guard versions.
