I have Machine Art's Avant front mudguard extender on my 21 plate 1250GSA.
I am considering purchasing the BMW accessory part Enduro Engine Guard. From Machine Art's website I know there is the potential for some fouling issues combining the two on the Adventure. In fact it specifically says that Part No. 77148533747 fitted to the 2019-2021 Adventure is not compatible with their product.
The confusing bit is that that part number is for the Enduro Guard for the 1200GSA LC (K51 09/12 - 07/18). It is shaped thus:
As you can see, the leading edge that would potentially foul the Avant goes straight across.
The correct part number for the Enduro Guard for the 1250GSA is actually 77148405391 (plain aluminium version - the black one has a different part number). It is shaped thus:
Here, the leading edge is more curved towards the engine casing potentially providing more clearance with the Avant.
I've e-mailed MachineArt Moto and got a fairly non-committal e-mail in return stating that they have no knowledge of combining the two but there is a possibility that the two might work together because of the more curved front end of the engine guard.
I know there are are engine guards that will fit - Wunderlich, Touratech etc. but if possible I'd like the BMW one. Has anyone actually got the revised Enduro Guard fitted with the Avant mudguard extender? Any pictures please of the clearance between the two. Many thanks in advance.
