COPART Motorcycle Skid Plate Bash Crash Plate Engine Bottom Protector Guard Cover for BMW G310GS G310R 2017 2018 2019

I wish the aluminum was slightly thicker, but this is a major improvement over the plastic engine guard provided by BMW, which is better than nothing but is mostly for looks.Some installation instructions would have been nice. I installed the thin aluminum spacers (thick washers) under the heads of the four machine screws, but I think they probably were intended to go between the bash plate and the engine. At the next oil change, I'll swap them and if that works better, I'll use RTV silicone to attach the thin spacers to the inside of the bash plate to make it easier to reinstall after future oil changes. The screw heads and thin spacers seem a bit goofy hanging down under the bash plate. The spacers should have been attached to the skid plate if they are intended to be on the inside, which they probably are.One thing I like about this skid plate is the simplicity. Remove the four screws with a hex key to remove the skid plate when changing oil. One of the expensive after market skid plates attaches to the frame, which is good because it doesn't transfer impacts to the engine, but removing it and reinstalling it adds a couple of hours to a 15 minute oil change. For the relatively minor slow speed impacts I'm likely to have off road, I prefer the direct attachment to the engine that allows quick oil changes.Watch to ensure there are no bits of large gravel or small rocks trapped between the skid plate and oil filter. Vibration can hammer a small rock into the oil filter and cause an oil leak, which could be all sorts of unpleasantness in a remote area.

These appear to be solid and functional. I installed them on a 2019 G310GS. I have included a diagram that shows relative installation information for the hardware since none was included with the product. Hopefully it will help others. This is by no means a sanctioned illustration for the product installation but is simply what I found made the product fit to my bike. If they would have included some sort of installation instructions I would have given a 5 star rating.

SKID PLATE: Very easy to install. Holes were perfect for 2019 310 gs. Looks good.LOWER GUARD: big spacer goes on shifter side I think. Got it put together and didn’t need to bend or cut. Think it was missing 1 washer. Had one extra bolt. Thinking maybe an older year used a different bolt size? Seems really sturdy. 4 stars. Read the Hepco instructions.

Installation was a puzzle with no pictures and a variety of spacers and hardware sizes. But, it worked out in the end. The finished product looks good and seems to cover and protect well. Take your time installing and don't tighten anything until it's all in place.

Good product for a fair price. Assembly took me entire evening. It doesn’t come with manual but you can find some hints and videos in the internet.

If you are good on tetris or lego, this is a must. If you don't, you'll have a good headache installing this. Just be aware that DON'T TIGHT THE SCREWS until everything is on place. If you install one side, and then the other side, this item wont fit and the manufacturer don't answer inquires or questions. So, good luck installing them.

Wont fit BMW G210R

The quality of the guard is great. The design is terrible. I had to force the upper and lower into the correct locations. The screws were too long in places which forced me to use spacers. It currently sits asymmetrical on the bike just to be able to to fit. The instructions are absolutely terrible. Be ready to do some diy…
