Description
For Triumph Bobber riders who refuse to compromise between protection and aesthetics, the Motone Defender MKII represents the evolution of engine defense. Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum and finished with a striking silver brushed surface, this sump guard delivers battle-ready protection while showcasing the mechanical beauty of your modern classic.
Key Features
Deep-Drawn Aluminum Construction
Formed from 3mm thick Type 5052 aluminum alloy using precision deep-drawing manufacturing—the same technique used in aerospace components. This creates a one-piece shell with exceptional impact resistance and uniform material distribution, eliminating weak points found in bent or welded alternatives. The deep-drawn process produces superior structural integrity that absorbs and disperses impact energy across the entire guard.
Silver Brushed Anodized Finish
Hand-brushed aluminum surface treated with clear anodization creates a distinctive silver metallic appearance that complements both blacked-out and chrome Bobber builds. The anodized layer provides corrosion resistance while maintaining the natural aluminum aesthetic. This finish showcases the raw industrial character of aluminum while protecting against oxidation and weathering.
Service-Friendly Design
Strategic cutouts allow oil changes and filter access without removing the guard—critical for riders who perform their own maintenance. The design maintains full protection while eliminating the frustration of repeated removal for routine service. Complete hardware kit included for straightforward installation using factory mounting points.
Bobber-Specific Fitment
Engineered exclusively for Triumph Bobber 1200 geometry and ground clearance requirements. The MKII profile accounts for the Bobber’s lower ride height and unique frame mounting points, ensuring optimal protection without compromising lean angle or interfering with exhaust systems. Will not fit models with factory forward controls or Speedmaster applications.
Impact Protection Engineering
Shields vulnerable sump area from road debris, speed bumps, and grounding during spirited riding. The 3mm aluminum thickness and deep-drawn profile create a protective barrier that prevents costly engine case damage. Designed to absorb and deflect impacts that would otherwise crack aluminum engine castings.
