Every kilometre in the wet throws road debris at your shock — this guard stops it before it gets there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ABS guard is supported by a powder-coated aluminium bracket that attaches to the EVO Paralever using existing mounting points — no drilling, no modification to the shaft drive system. The aluminium bracket resists corrosion under prolonged wet-road exposure, and holds its position through vibration and long-distance riding. Matte black finish matches OEM R1300 GS bodywork tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFits both the R1300 GS and R1300 GSA (2023 onwards). Road tyres only — remove before fitting knobby or high-profile adventure tyres. For full rear protection, pair with the Machina Splash Guard Extension for the R1300 GS, which protects pillion and luggage while this guard protects your suspension.
