The MACHINA Engine Cylinder Head Cover Protector shields the exposed cylinder heads on the BMW R NineT's air-cooled boxer engine. The horizontally-opposed cylinders protrude outward on the R NineT, making them extremely vulnerable to impacts from stones, kerbs, and low-speed tip-overs. These covers mount directly over the factory valve covers and take the punishment so the underlying aluminium casting doesn't crack or scratch.
Compatibility: BMW R NineT / R9T (2013–2020)

3 mm ABS plastic with a matte black finish. ABS is impact-resistant and flexes instead of shattering, and it does not rust or corrode.
They are designed around the BMW R nineT's existing mounting points, so they fit with basic hand tools. If you'd rather not do it yourself, any mechanic can fit them, and Machina can guide you over WhatsApp.
Yes. Stones, debris and low-speed tip-overs are common on Indian roads. They shield the cylinder head covers, which stick out and take the first hit in a tip-over on your BMW R nineT, saving you an expensive and slow replacement.
Check the mounting bolts after the first few hundred kilometres and after any off-road ride, and clean around them so grit doesn't collect.
