DescriptionThe whole story▼
When a crash threatens your Honda CBR 1000 RR's ignition cover, the consequences go far beyond cosmetic damage. GBRacing's dedicated ignition protector is engineered from the ground up to absorb and deflect impact forces, keeping one of the engine's most vulnerable covers intact whether you're pushing hard on a circuit or pressing on through a demanding road ride.
Key Features
- 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon construction — delivers exceptional impact resistance, dimensional stability under heat, and long-term durability that outlasts standard OEM covers in crash scenarios
- Bolt-on fitment using the supplied hardware — no adhesives, no guesswork; the protector seats firmly against the engine casing and stays precisely located under repeated stress
- Engineered as a direct fit for Honda CBR 1000 RR model years 2008 through 2016 — no modification or adaptor required
- FIA and FIM compliant — accepted for competition use, making it equally at home on track days and in club racing as it is on the road
- Complements GBRacing's alternator cover protector and clutch cover protector for a complete engine-side protection system
- Mounting hardware included — ready to install straight from the box
Built to Absorb What the Track Throws at It
The choice of a 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon compound is not incidental. This material grade is selected specifically because it combines a high tensile strength with genuine energy absorption on impact — the protector deforms enough to dissipate crash forces without shattering, preventing those forces from transferring to the ignition cover underneath. The material is equally resistant to the thermal cycling that an engine endures across a full track day, so fitment remains tight and secure session after session.
The bolted attachment method is central to the GBRacing design philosophy. Unlike stick-on guards that can peel away or shift under vibration, this protector uses a screwed interface that holds position with no movement. Should the protector itself sustain damage in a heavy slide, it can be unbolted and replaced quickly in a paddock environment — a practical detail that matters when race weekends are on a tight schedule.
A Complete Engine Protection Strategy
GBRacing designs its protectors as a modular system rather than isolated parts. Pairing this ignition cover protector with the corresponding alternator and clutch cover protectors gives the CBR 1000 RR comprehensive engine-side protection at every point most likely to make contact with tarmac in a low-side or tip-over. For any rider using the CBR 1000 RR on track, this layered approach is the most cost-effective insurance against an engine case replacement.
Fitment & Compatibility
This protector fits the Honda CBR 1000 RR for model years 2008 to 2016. It is a dedicated design for this generation of the Fireblade and is not a universal part — the precision fit depends on the correct application being observed.
