WHY EXPERTS LOVE IT (and Everyone Else Needs It)
BDCW’s ULTIMATE Skid Plates continue to be the top choice for expert riders, proving its worth in the most rigorous conditions and terrain worldwide. Think you don’t need this much protection? Think again. It’s while learning to master big bike skills, both on pavement and off-road, that carnage happens. Rocks get kicked up, bikes get dropped and hung up, curbs get in the way, and scrapes and spills are just part of the adventure. And the ULTIMATE Skid Plate is designed to take all of the abuse—and more.
FITMENT
This skid plate fits the following models:
- BMW R12 G/S - 2026+
COMPATIBILITY
NUTS, BOLTS AND BENEFITS
Comprehensive Engine Coverage
Larger dimensions mean your expensive engine has maximum protection. Plus, it fully protects the clutch, ignition cover, header pipes and catalytic converter—most other brands don’t. Other designs leave these completely exposed which can lead to a very expensive repair (the header pipes alone are $1,700 + labor).
Frame Mounted
Skid plate is suspended from frame—isolating the rear of the engine block from impact. Our design does NOT use the stock rubber shear bolts that are threaded into the engine block
More Heft—3/16-inch (4.76mm) of 5052 Aluminum
You get what you pay for. And we found the optimal material to protect, perform, and last. In fact, it may very well outlive your bike. The grade of aluminum we selected is designed to ABSORB impacts, not transfer the force to the mounting points on the bike.
Smooth Bottom for Clearing Obstacles
No holes to snag on rocks or branches. This plate glides on its own—right up over most obstacles without bolts, rubber sliders or rivets to catch or break off.
Unique “Shok-Blok” Protection
Rubber "Shok-Bloks" act as additional shock absorbers against impacts to the bottom of the plate, protecting the engine block. This provides extra insurance from damage.
Quick Change Artist
Only six bolts are removed to access oil filter and drain—framework stays in place.
Powder AND Clear Coated
Looks great and takes the punishment that anodized finishes can’t.
Looks "Badass" on Every Bike
Not that it matters when it’s covered in mud.
Cheap Insurance
Considering the costs of expensive repairs or “extractions” from the outback, it’s a bargain!
Made in the U.S.
No bones about it, we manufacture all of our Black Dog products right here in the U.S. It is extremely important to us. We have world class manufacturers in our own back yard and we intend to use them.
Tested and Trusted Worldwide
All of our own products are rigorously tested on our personal bikes BEFORE they’re released. Our innovative and rugged designs are used throughout the world—a fact that we’re very proud of. We make no pretense that we’re the cheapest, but, you can be sure that BDCW products are the best made, and that we stand behind them.
