Scene of the crime: California
In the land of eternal bends, a downhill corner proved all too
tempting and luckily we had the camera on hand: We exceeded
the grip limit trying to grind the bars while cornering. Yet again,
we failed to scuff the bars without actually crashing

Wunderlich
Protection Bars GS + Adventure
In order to finally combine perfect protection and innova-
tive design, we have developed an all-round protection
system based on our own ideas. The result has been a
great success and the complex design work now keeps
the GS safe from damage. The bars form a homogenous
line with the cylinders and the header pipes; rather than
coming across as an alien element, they are integrated
into the machine perfectly. All mounting points have
been designed for a tensile or compressive load. The
leverage forces are distributed across all six mounting
points in the case of a crash. The central mount provides
uniform distribution and functions as a pivotal point,
which incorporates all of the other suspension points
equally in the absorption of forces in the case of an
"incident". Our idea has been met with enthusiasm all
over the world. In the relevant Internet forums, people
are saying that our development is one of the best crash
bars for the GS.
The facts:
• Uniform distribution of forces.
• Stabile mounts.
• Additional protection for headers and connecting pipe.
• The sensitive screw threads in the motor housing cannot be
pulled out.
• All maintenance work (oil change, valve adjustment etc.) is pos-
sible without removing the crash bars.
• Elaborately bent round tubes.
• No negative impact on ground or cornering clearance.
• Mounts for additional headlights.
• Made in Europe.
• 5 year warranty.

Wunderlich Crash Bar Protector
The intelligent protection system for Wunderlich protec-
tion bars. Protection (crash) bars are intended to prevent
damage, but even a slight fall is enough to give the crash
bar itself a defect, as is the case for all crash bars on the
market. As there is no paint or coating that is resistant
enough, we offer this exchangeable scratch protection
for our crash bars. This is exclusive world-wide and to
date not used for any other crash bar. A thick walled
plastic protector that can survive even a minor crash.
It can even whip crash bars that have already been
scratched back into shape. The crash bar then looks like
new and has the best preventative protection against
any further defects. We do recommend, however, that
the protector is mounted before any scratches by way
of precaution (to protect the rust-retardant coating).
Quality: the high moulding costs and quality concerns
prevent large-scale production as an injection moulding
part. The protectors are therefore individually thermofor-
med from silver ABS plastic and trimmed on 3D milling
machines. An elaborate procedure, but this is the only
way for them to be so extremely resistant to impacts.
Scratches can be easily polished away. Visually, the
gleaming metallic-silver colouring suits our crash bars
perfectly. Includes special double sided attachment
pads for easy installation.

Aluminium Valve Cover "Durahead"
A cover milled from a solid piece of dural aluminium that
requires no additional cover. The cover possesses such
an enormous amount of structural stability that a slide
pad could be integrated directly into it. The exclusive
choice of material and the machining make any conceiv-
able finish possible. Simply replaces the original cover.
The facts:
• Milled from single billet piece.
• Far greater material strength than the standard cover.
• Improved motor cooling through additional cooling ribs.
• Replaceable slide pads.
• Original gasket and bolts are still used.
• Ground clearance not impaired.
• Exclusive looks.
• Can be supplied with hard-anodised surface finish or polished.
• Made in Germany.
• Life-long warranty against breakage.
Alongside the usefulness of this cover, it also impresses
with its exclusive looks. As the material cost makes up
about 50% of the total value, this must be considered
as a bargain.
