Accessories for the BMW F 800 GS

The BMW F 800 GS is an adventure bike suited to everyday journeys, longer road trips and rides that take in unpaved tracks. The balance between those uses determines what is worth fitting. Nights away call for luggage, sustained road riding makes wind protection useful, and venturing off the tarmac puts more emphasis on protection and riding position.

What riders usually fit to the BMW F 800 GS

• Panniers: carrying clothing and touring essentials on the bike avoids wearing a rucksack throughout a long day. For trips with a pillion, plan luggage space for both of you while keeping their seating area clear.
• Protectors and crash bars: these help shield exposed areas if the bike tips over on a track. They are also worth considering for a touring setup, where manoeuvring a loaded F 800 GS can make a low-speed tumble a concern.
• Screens: redirecting airflow is particularly useful on motorway links and long stretches of open road. Your seated riding position and torso height are useful starting points when deciding how much coverage you want for touring.
• Handlebars: hand position matters when switching between seated road riding and standing on the pegs along a track. Setting up this contact point is about finding a posture that works across both parts of an adventure ride.
• Footpegs: foot support becomes especially important when standing through unpaved sections. If your F 800 GS also covers long road distances, consider how the peg position affects your leg posture during the hours spent sitting down.

Choosing parts for your F 800 GS model year

The F 800 GS has changed over the years, and the 2008-2021 and 2024-2026 versions do not use all the same accessories. Parts such as levers, handlebars and screens are not interchangeable across every year. Choose your bike’s year on this page to see only the accessories that fit your version.
