We celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2021!
Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2021, German BMW parts and accessory specialist Hornig has unveiled parts designs for the S 1000 XR/RR as part of a "virtual trade fair" that marks its anniversary achievement - and what a tumultuous 20 years it has been for the motorcycle industry!

During that time though, Cham based Motorcycle Accessory Hornig GmbH has prospered. Helmut Hornig's first part was a theft-proof oil filler plug, and 20 years later that company has over 4,000 product lines for BMW applications and operates from a 2,000 sqm complex, employing 30 people, selling to around 1,000 dealers and exporting to over 120 countries.
Seen here on the company's S 1000 XR conversion, for long-distance rides, the Hornig Touring Series smoke-grey windshield was developed to minimise the windblast against the rider. These screens raise that windblast for several centimetres, allowing the rider to keep to a more comfortable, natural riding position - up to some 17 cm higher than the original windscreen; matching air deflectors also available.

Other changes made to the standard S 1000 XR include replacing the original seat with Hornig's reupholstered version, there is a relocated GPS position (above the instruments) for improved digital route planner visibility, and there is a never-to-be-underestimated handlebar bag.
The faithful old theft-proof oil filler plug conversion is still a Hornig staple (it can only be removed with a Torx T45); there is a side stand foot enlargement; rear swingarm and fork crash protectors; crash bars; shift lever extension; brake pedal enlargement; 'Fender Extender'; oil cooler screen; mirror extensions; LED fairing turning signals; carbon fibre tank pad; adjustable stainless steel licence plate bracket; stainless steel bar end weights, and more.
On the S 1000 RR conversion seen here, there is a Hornig replacement racing screen, a replacement, precision adjustable chain tensioner, (GIVI tank bags are also available from Hornig), tail bag, a triple clamp mountable GPS mount, our oil filler cap (of course!), crash protectors, oil cooler cover, and a short licence plate holder allows a better view of the rear wheel.
