When a crash threatens to turn a track day into a costly repair bill, the GBRacing alternator cover protector stands between your KTM RC8 or RC8R 1190 and serious engine damage. 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.

Key Features

  • Constructed from a high-impact composite with 60% glass-fibre reinforced nylon — delivering exceptional strength, low weight and precise fitment without compromise
  • Developed to race-level protection standards, making it equally suited to track days, club racing and everyday road use
  • Bolt-on installation with no adhesives required — all mounting hardware is included for a clean, secure and reversible fit
  • Purpose-designed for the KTM RC8 and RC8R 1190, ensuring factory-accurate alignment and coverage of the alternator casing
  • Prevents costly alternator damage in a slide or tip-over, potentially saving hundreds in parts and labour
  • Adds a purposeful, race-derived aesthetic that complements the RC8's aggressive styling

Build Quality and Protection

GBRacing 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.

Unlike 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.

Road and Track Use

For 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.
