BMW R1300GS conversion by Hornig

2024-04-29 - Clever accessories for the new premium Enduro



For over four decades, the BMW GS models with their boxer engines have been the undisputed number 1 for motorcycle lovers. In order to continue to maintain this position, BMW Motorrad has carried out an almost complete redesign of the new R1300GS. With the most powerful series-produced BMW boxer engine of all time, a completely new chapter in the BMW motorcycle evolution is opened. So it was only a matter of time before we started to further redesign the premium adventure motorcycle in terms of safety, comfort and appearance.

Safety and protection:
To protect our BMW R1300GS from damage should it fall to the side, we have installed a number of different protective accessories on the motorcycle. The engine and the fairing parts are optimally protected by the engine and fairing crash bars, while the grip protection on both sides ensures that the handlebar ends remain intact. We have come to the conclusion that the cardan and the fork ends also need to be protected - our cardan crash pad and the fork crash pads take care of that. With our side stand foot enlargement, the contact surface of the side stand is significantly increased, enabling a secure stand on all surfaces. The modern TFT display of the BMW R1300GS is protected from scratches by our screen protection film and our radiator grille, which is available in silver and black anodized, provides optimal protection for the radiator. Thanks to our LED additional headlights, the road is illuminated as bright as day in the dark, while ensuring increased safety during the day by improving the visibility of the motorcycle for other road users. The headlight kit can be mounted directly on the original BMW bracket for additional headlights. Our reflective films for the Vario cases also contribute to better visibility in road traffic, which significantly increases the signaling effect for following traffic. Our oil cap made of anodized aluminum can only be opened with a Torx T45, which makes it theft-proof. Our Wolo Very Loud Horn with its 115 decibels reduces the risk of being overlooked and gives the motorcyclist the necessary respect from other road users on the road.

Comfort:
For a more comfortable driving experience, we have equipped our BMW R1300GS with a Touring windshield, which offers improved wind protection compared to the original windshield and is quick and easy to install. Thanks to our shift lever enlargement made of aluminum, the driver has more grip when changing gears, as the shift lever is extended by approximately 15mm. If you want to experience comfortable, long tours with the BMW R1300GS, you need one thing above all: sufficient clever storage space for luggage. We can help here with our extendable tail bag, our handlebar bag, our universal bags for attaching on top of the side cases, the side bags for the Vario cases, our additional bag under the luggage rack and the easily removable tank bag. Our inner bags for the Vario cases make loading and unloading the cases easier and can be adjusted in size like a tank bag when the Vario cases are extended. The seat is particularly important on longer tours, which is why we have upholstered it to provide greater seating comfort. This means you reach your destination much more relaxed. The license plate holder made of stainless steel can be varied in width and can therefore be used flexibly. With our wireless charging pad the smartphone can be conveniently charged wirelessly by simply placing it on the charging pad. The charging pad fits ideally into the small storage compartment of the BMW R1300GS.

Individual design:
Of course, our BMW R1300GS should not only score points in terms of safety, protection and comfort, but also be a visual eye-catcher. That's why we wrapped the originally white motorcycle in a rich dark blue. To match this, we have put a dark blue background on the GS letterings on the sides and attached rim edge stickers in dark blue and white as an additional eye-catcher. The rider and pillion seats have not only been ergonomically but also optically redesigned so that they match the unique design of the motorcycle: elegant Alcantara leather, dark blue highlights on the seats, double seams, stitching and an R1300GS lettering make the seats an eye-catcher for all aesthetics lovers. To match the seats, we also covered the tank center part of our R1300GS with Alcantara leather and provided it with stitching and double seams. The unsightly holes in the frame of the motorcycle were closed with our elegant Telelever caps and frame cover caps made of aluminum. Our wheel axle cover with emblem is another visual highlight on our BMW R1300GS.
