Radiator Guard | BMW R nineT

A motorcycle radiator guard protects the radiator against gravel spray, dirt and small road impacts. It is an element exposed at the front of the machine, fragile and costly to replace, which the guard preserves without hindering cooling. Beyond protection, it dresses this area and brings a touch of style, often sought on neo-retro and café racer builds. The quality of the material and the fineness of the pattern then make the difference between a basic guard and a workshop part. Our FCR Original radiator guard for the BMW R nineT illustrates this approach.

No, a well-designed radiator guard does not significantly reduce engine cooling. Its openwork pattern, like the honeycomb, lets the air flow freely towards the radiator while stopping gravel and debris. The surface covered by the material stays small compared with the openings, which preserves the airflow needed. You simply have to keep the guard clean, with no build-up of mud or leaves that could hinder the airflow. Our FCR Original radiator guard for the BMW R nineT is designed in this spirit: protecting without hindering cooling.

Yes, this radiator guard is designed for the BMW R nineT and installs at the front, in front of the radiator. If in doubt about your model or year, our team checks compatibility with you before ordering at 05 49 62 03 26. This product is specific to the R nineT family.

This radiator guard is offered in two finishes: Noir (epoxy) and Brossé. The Noir version offers a sober, deep rendering that blends into the whole of the bike. The Brossé version plays the card of exposed metal, for a more marked contrast and a workshop spirit. The choice depends on your taste and the rest of your build. Both finishes share the same honeycomb pattern and the same inspection in our FCR Original workshop.

Installation is simple and fully reversible: the guard goes into place with no modification to the bike. It positions in front of the radiator and fixes onto the dedicated area, which allows a return to the original configuration at any time. The complete assembly instructions accompany the product and guide you step by step. If you are not comfortable with this type of work, we recommend entrusting it to a professional.

This radiator guard is made of aluminium, with a cut honeycomb pattern and a Noir epoxy or Brossé finish. Aluminium combines lightness and strength, and lends itself perfectly to the fine cutting of the pattern. The careful finish keeps an impeccable allure over time, even after intensive use. This care in manufacture and finish is what sets our FCR Original guard apart from a generic accessory.
