How to make Budget Adventure Modifications?
The Essential Guide to Any Motorcycle Traveler - Online Course: rtw-adventures.com/online-cou...
Hello guys, in this video I am going to show you some very useful modifications, which will help you on your long motorcycle trips.
1. Thermometer
2. Voltmeter
3. AC Cable
4. Levers cut
5. Spare Levers
6. Tool boxes
7. Tires levers cut
8. Tools choice
9. Heated grips
10. Spare clutch cable and few more…
When we heard the words “Adventure modifications” we immediately imagine expensive staff, build from specific companies from expensive materials. Is it really like that? For me, “adventure modification”, is everything what helps me to make my trips easy.

I get at least one very valuable tip from each of your videos! I particularly like your no-nonsense and Direct Delivery. You get to the point quickly and don't spend time wandering around as do so many other people posting their opinions.

Thanks Ron! I am glad that the channel helps, this was the idea.
That plug in extension cable... Genius, absolutely genius!
One thing I do, very simple, and it reduces the weight of the tools you carry: Replace all possible bolts by BTR (6 pans) and nuts by nylon ones. It's cheap, very easy to fin in any hardware basic shop, and you carry only 3 6 pan keys instead of a lot of wrenches. Just add a simple extender tube to it, and you're done! I did that on all my bikes when it was possible, and it reduced my tool weight by 50%!!! But all your tips are useful! Keep on going and riding! :D
Most inspiring rider on the planet. Thank you for your genuine advices.
Dude, you are a road trip genius

You've been a treasure trove of great ideas for me setting up my bike for my upcoming trip to Europe and Morocco starting next week. Though I shipped my bike to London from Alaska with way too much stuff, I figured I'd pare down what I take and leave the rest with my friend there. Hope to see you in Germany sometime in late May.
Great video, useful tips, thanks a lot, Gus

This extension cable... gave me shivers... you have no fuse man! Add fuse! As you started to play with this cable I held my breath waiting for sparks and fire. Battery gives lots of amps and power... do it for your and bike safety. On the other hand I like your videos and your attitude. Keep on going!

also what about the gauge of the wire he's using? Most jumper cables are far, far bigger gauge wire than that. If you're using a Battery Tender, it's one thing but jump-starting a motor is different. 10-ga wire is recommended, minimum, which is much stiffer than that little lamp cord he has! Wire used in homes is 12 or 14 gauge.
Your videos are very informative. I like everything.
Nice video and very useful tips, Gyro Gearloose. Thank you for your dedication.

As usual, lots of practical tips. Thanks so much for doing these videos. I will do the clutch cable tip. What about the brake cables? One respondent suggested using BTR fasteners where possible to reduce the amount of tools needed for a trip. That is so true. My BMW C650 scooter uses 2 torx wrenches that practically is able to remove all the fasteners. Great idea to do on a long trip bike.

Great ideas, I must go through my tools and only carry things I use, oem tool kits have a lot of things I never use, great idea taping things behind panels, a spare key taped there would be a good idea and a key for your panniers/top box.

I use a cheep multi meter which I keep in the ever so useful false petrol tank storage space (it has the battery right next to it ) on the underestimated 80mpg NC700 , Checks battery and charging ,plus useful if needed for other fault finding. A small pair of molegrips can double up as spare lever or gear changer too. Your right about the sprocket cover ,mine gets jammed up real quickly with grass and chain lube !. Great vid thankyou!

Excellent ideas! Even for my cruiser I can use some of them. Like the hinged shifter and brake peddle. Also, I'll get extra clutch and brake levers. I think all your mods will be equally good on my cruiser. Thanks! :-)

To access, electrically the battery I just created another 12V smoking socket female for gps or heated jumper.or jump leads extension now needs male 12v plug.....get some constantine(metal with high resistance so create heat)... wire and thread it through surgical tubing connect a fuse...potentiometer (from the constantine resisitance you can calculate how long wire can be..1.3m?...you can thread coated wire into jumpers handles gloves,,, or simply as grip warmers...having experimented best lengths I reduced kit to wire tubing fuse,,,so for 3euros heated grips or jumper!If wire too short too hot too long too cool....Oh I nearly forgot to say Thanks...Blagodarya for the videos..thay are helping me get through broken leg days....I tested constantine woven wooley jumper to -15C with only a leather jacket.

9:02, did that. Practical n a necessity
Excellent, practical advice. I have already copied your clutch cable idea, but I covered each end of the cable with a finger I cut off rubber gloves to keep dirt and water out of the cable. The 'storage ' area under the panels is brilliant and I will definitely put this to hood use. The front sprocket cover allows easy access for my chain oiler too. I am wondering if I mounted it here would it be better than on the swing arm as it would be less exposed off road? Something to think about. As usual great stuff and I wish I had known this year's ago rather than learning the hard way. The lead from the battery i have a lead which attaches to the end to make a USB charger. made by Oxford. €20. Using this i can easily charge my devices without extra wiring. For me very useful.

The point about the clutch is very good. I will do the same. About the oiler, it should work the same way on the front sprocket. Ride safe Richard!
@islanddreaming8591

Yes I done similar also but I squirted some machine oil into the cable - then (like Richards method) covered the extreme ends with a little bit of black electrical tape , followed by black heat shrink over the top to keep it all tidy and secure. I always carry a knife if I need to cut off the heat shrink to use the cable . I also did the same for the throttle cable
