Side Covers | BMW R nineT

Motorcycle side covers dress and protect the flanks of the bike, in particular the air box or battery area. They are visible parts that strongly contribute to the look of the machine, especially on neo-retro bikes where the frame and the mechanics are exposed. Replacing them with covers of a worked design lets you personalise the look of the bike and, depending on the model, better protect the elements behind. The quality of the material and the precision of the fit make the difference between a generic cover and a workshop part. Our FCR Original side covers for the BMW R nineT illustrate this approach.

Yes, in most cases motorcycle side covers can be replaced yourself, as they usually fix onto existing points and hardware. The operation most often consists of removing the original cover, then putting the new one in its place. When the replacement cover reuses the original screw and requires no drilling, installation takes only a few minutes and stays within reach of a careful owner. Our FCR Original side covers for the BMW R nineT fit precisely with the original hardware, with no complex tooling.

This kit includes two side covers: a left cover and a right cover, each designed specifically for its side. They are supplied ready to fit and mount using the original screw already present on the bike, with no extra hardware to plan for. You thus replace the two original air box covers with a pair of FCR Original design.

Installation is simple and done with no drilling, by reusing the original hardware. Here are the steps: 1. Unscrew the screw that holds the original cover. 2. Remove the original cover. 3. Position the FCR Original cover and fix it with the original screw. 4. Repeat the operation for the opposite side. The complete assembly instructions accompany the product. The work requires no complex tooling and is done in a few minutes.

These side covers are made of aluminium, with a black finish. Aluminium offers a good compromise between lightness and strength, and forming the sheet allows them to follow the flank of the bike precisely. The openwork that punctuates their surface lightens the part and gives it its character. The careful black finish keeps an impeccable allure over time and dresses the air box area with restraint.
