Engine Guard ”Expedition” for Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin
In creating the Honda CRF1000L, the developers at Honda have produced a motorbike that practically invites you to take it on an off-road excursion. Our development team was able to make a number of further improvements to its positive off-road characteristics. This engine guard is an absolute revolution!
Touratech has attached great importance to its robustness and functionality. Serious damage, such as holes in the engine block, can be effectively prevented by fitting the large Touratech engine guard.
Maximum strength is provided by multiple folded ridges in the 4 mm thick aluminium base plate, while an additional lower stainless steel attachment plate on the engine ensures the force of an impact is distributed over a large area via 6 bolting points. Ground clearance is not restricted by these two base plates. Another benefit is that the front of the engine guard rises up far enough to prevent damage to the oil filter and oil cooler as well. Plastic rails on the lower part of the base plate ensure that the bolt heads - which are already sunken - are completely covered. Not least, the plastic rails facilitate ”sliding” the bike over rocks, stones and tree stumps. Almost as an afterthought, they also prevent dirt buid-up. To sum up, the large Touratech engine guard for the Honda CRF1100L is a product that meets the most demanding requirements as well as being an absolute visual highlight!
Polisport Engine Cover Protectors are designed to be the best protections in the market. Through research and development, we found the best materials to protect the engine from crashes and falls. We used a blend of highly resistant plastic with over-injected metallic parts to increase the protection level. We also took design seriously, with a minimalistic but high-tech approach, never forgetting function, which is the crux of our product.

Why GBRacing?
GBRacing products are the clear benchmark in high-performance, bolt-on motorcycle protection for the short circuit, road racing and street bike community. We are the only company to have received FIM product approval from 2009 onwards. This has now been renewed for 2017 through to 2020 on our range of bolt-on secondary engine covers, along with MCRCB, FFM, IDM, AMA, CIV, IDM, FFM and World Endurance approval. We also have two patents granted: Improved Composition (Patent #GB2479405) for the material used in our engine protection and a patent for our Reverse Wear Indicators (Patent #GB2532535).
3D Design
Each product is specifically designed, engineered and manufactured using revolutionary new tough, high-impact composite material made from 60% Long Glass Fibered Nylon to deliver the best overall quality protection. Our core product range is our FIM-approved bolt-on secondary engine covers. We vary the injection-moulded material thickness, from 2mm to 12mm to give maximum engine protection without compromising ground clearance or weight.
Team Development
Our product range features the highest specification, bolt-on secondary engine covers and frame sliders in motorcycle racing anywhere in the world. We are continually developing and improving our crash protection products using invaluable team and customer feedback.
Teams in partnership with GBRacing include the vast (and fast) majority of the British and World Superbike paddocks, including Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team) 4 time WSBK Champion. We also heavily support the Isle of Man TT, including this years Senior Race winner, Peter Hickman (Smiths Racing BMW) as well as supporting a number of Moto2 Teams including Sky Racing Team VR46, Marc VDS, Italtrans, Tech 3 and Gresini.
Padgett’s Motorcycles, the most successful private race team in history, choose GBRacing engine protection in all race disciplines, from short circuits to the might Mountain Course, the punishing Isle of Man TT circuit. Such is Padgetts' success that in the last 19 Isle of Man TT road races since 2010, they have attained 17 podiums with 11 victories, three seconds and three third place finishes. In the last 13 international road races; the NW200, Ulster GP and Isle of Man TT, the team has attained 11 podiums, all with GBRacing engine protection.
Clive Padgett states that: "GBRacing engine covers not only look great and offer superb protection, they also help to maintain a constant oil temperature throughout the race. They are not just a race product but a great add-on for road bikes, especially running alongside GBRacing's crash sliders."
