none, just looks better to me. I guess it protects the paint from rocks and stuff. Kinda like the leather bra thing for the harley. Wasn't expensive, so I got it.

I noticed LWD and LWR they had it on thiers.

Question... why is it on the LWD they had constant rear shock problems? Bad redesign on the rear shock?

The GS adventure comes with it standard. The standard GS doesn't have it, you have to add it.

They loaded the bike down way too much without getting aftermarket shocks made for it. Thats why the frame kept breaking on LWR.

Quality issues I suppose. The LWR bikes (R1150GS adv) are a different gen than the LWD bikes (R1200GS adv).

the problem they had in LWD was because of the HEAT and the weight. they didn't learn from LWR about packing light... and with all the heat and constant bumps it blew out the rear shock.
