Even though the BMW R1300 GS is a few kilos less heavy than its R1250 GS predecessor, it really isn’t a lightweight in any way, shape or form. And GS owners’ habit of bolting every available accessory to their bike certainly isn’t going to help matters of mass. So for its range of bolt-on body parts, Ilmberger has fashioned them from lightweight carbon to minimise the amount of extra poundage. All the parts are available made from either traditional woven carbon with a clear powder coat or Ilmberger’s Black Diamond Carbon (BDC), which gives a vaguely marble-like finish. A rear splash guard mounts to the swingarm and has rubber coating on the inside to prevent stone chips and reduce noise: SRP is £581 for the BDC version in gloss or matt, £536 for the woven version in matt or gloss. A side air vent cover is £510 per side for the BDC or £510 for the woven carbon, again in matt or gloss options.
A sump guard is £411 in gloss or matt woven carbon, while front and rear mudguards are available in BDC for £402 each or carbon weave for £358 each. Other parts available include hand guards, a fuel tank cover, exhaust end cap, heel guards, and frame covers.
