Engineered to motorsport standards and equally at home on the road, this cover is among the most rigorous bolt-on protections available for the RC8 platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstructed from a high-impact composite with 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon — delivering exceptional strength, low weight and precise fitment without compromise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped to race-level protection standards, making it equally suited to track days, club racing and everyday road use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-on installation with no adhesives required — all mounting hardware is included for a clean, secure and reversible fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurpose-designed for the KTM RC8 and RC8R 1190, ensuring factory-accurate alignment and coverage of the alternator casing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents costly alternator damage in a slide or tip-over, potentially saving hundreds in parts and labour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdds a purposeful, race-derived aesthetic that complements the RC8's aggressive styling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild Quality and Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGBRacing has built its reputation supplying protection components to race teams competing at the highest levels of circuit racing, and that motorsport pedigree is evident in every detail of this alternator cover. The 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon composite absorbs and disperses impact energy far more effectively than standard OEM covers, while remaining light enough to have no meaningful effect on overall machine weight. The material is also resistant to fuel, oil and road debris — critical for a component in this exposed location on the engine casing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike foam or tape-on solutions, the GBRacing cover bolts directly to the engine using the supplied mounting hardware. There is no risk of adhesive failure over time, no unsightly residue if you choose to remove it, and no question about whether it will stay in place under load or in a slide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad and Track Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor track day riders, an alternator failure mid-session can end a weekend and leave you facing a significant repair. For road riders, a low-speed drop in a car park can have the same result. The GBRacing protector addresses both scenarios equally well — it requires no modification to fit, adds negligible bulk, and once installed, simply disappears into the engine's profile until it is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis alternator cover protector is designed and manufactured specifically for the following models:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM RC8 1190 — 2012 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKTM RC8R 1190 — 2012 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: GBRacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart type: Alternator cover protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: High-impact composite, 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: Bolt-on, no adhesives required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware: Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: KTM RC8 \/ RC8R 1190 (2012–2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended use: Road and track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GBRacing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168750067978,"sku":"EC-RC8-2011-1-GBR","price":131.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/LIMAKTMRC.png?v=1780813454","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-it\/products\/gbracing-alternator-cover-protector-ktm-rc8-rc8r-1190","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
