Thanks for the list and I do have some of your ideas but I also have several different ones. First the Touratech USB plug that replaces the euro plug. I installed it and it was very easy to use but after a month it stopped working. They replaced it and then the new one quit. What a bummer because that was such a great thing but only if it worked. Next up is the phone mount. I installed the RAM, from RAM, self-charging phone mount very nice. For me instead of relocating the power outlet I installed a SAE pigtail with cover on the right side just under the seat. Not only can you plug in your battery tender but your tire air pump will work as well. Also, for my heated gear I bought a flush mounted plug in with spring loaded cap from Gerbing heated gear. It is mounted on the left side on the plastic cover. Very nice looking. I also added grip puppies for the long trips. thanks

Nice to see a younger man want a GSA, You're so right about the stabilizer. I want BMW to extend the windshield down over the headlight and redesign the brackets to be longer down into the part of the front making it stronger.

Nicely accessorized - love those Denali lights.

Hello from Poland from a new BMW r1200gs adventure rider - in military olive too :). Thank you for this video. It is super usefull! I will use many of your mods too. Thank you so much.

Hmmm, I think that crash-bar support strut would interfere with longer-legged riders.

Thanks for more ideas. Getting a 2023 gsa and been looking for advice

I take my dog on the back everywhere I go , she loves it

You put the black cover cap for the windscreen on the right side in the wrong way. You should flip it 180 degrees

Thank you for a great video. Any way of getting some info on the rack/carriage your GSA seems to be parked on/in. Many thanks

The term is dolly.

Great video! What kind of chock system are you using to hold the bike up?

One question. Have you tried the puig touring? I’m looking into buying a new screen. And I also have a rattle going on at the slider (left side) looks like the little ball is slides through. Ever have or heard of this happening?

I’m kind of surprised you haven’t installed Rox 2 inch adjustable handlebar risers. I think they make night and day difference for better comfort in riding upright and standing up while riding.

Hi Thanks for the videos.. can you tell me what is the make and model for the bike dolly you have for the 1250?.. thanks .

Great tutorial on your mods. I'm hoping to get a BMW 1250 in the fall. First time viewer/ subscribed 👍

Problem with the crash bar reinforcement is you’ll break your shins in half when you have an accident 🤷‍♂️. I think there’s a reason BMW left that space open.

Nice but you shld have mention the price of all the parts u install

Hi there we are from the uk and have tried to purchase the passenger back rest from Advanced Sport Touring based in the USA. However they don’t appear to dispatch to England , we have emailed them but have no response, can you help?

Well explained. Definitely getting a bike now.

My only concern with the placement of the RotoPack would be the potential for a road stone at high speed to pop a pinhole in the can and spew vapor over the end of the exhaust pipe. Shaking the fuel aerates it, expands it and pressurizes the tank ever so slightly but still enough to have slight positive pressure. Heating it over the exhaust has same effect. You wouldn't notice it at high speed but the momment you stop poof. I could make a hot dog joke here, but I will avoid that, pets are family and I just would hate to see anything ever happen to a pet. The likelyhood is slim to none that it will happen, but the chances are that it could happen. Great video otherwise, thinking about aquiring a BMW and checking out mods , I especially like the cell phone adapter and relocate for the battery tender port.

Good video. Especially, since I just entered the world of the ADV Bikes. I purchased and installed that same backrest as that was the only configuration my wife felt to be the most comfortable. The pad-kit that goes on the BMW top case isn't that comfy for longer rides. My dilemma is, I can't attach the BMW top case with the backrest due to it taking about 2 inches of space needed for the top case to engage the OEM rack. By chance, do you know if the rack extension would work for the BMW top case? Or, do you know of any other solutions out there that would make the top case clear the needed two inches?

Lots of good advice. That phone setup is ghetto though. Needing to have an entire phone case just to attach to the bike is silly.

Great video fam.beatiful garage.my 2022 gsa on the way.love from tampa fl!!!

Good video (and I don't own a BMW)!! THANKS!! You should do a video on your garage storage/work bench mods...and another on your bicep workout. Have a good day!!

Thanks for the video. Im interested in what your parked on, is that a lift? Have you done a video on that?

Hey man, arethey factory tyres? Because mine front tyre is really noisy. Do find it to be?

I have to give you credit, very nice video. I look forward to seeing others

Super vidéo. 👋👍👍👍. Thank you very very much 💪

Love the bike! Great video...

Looking at this other k1600b but doubt I would ever take it off road.

I am watching your video and stopped at the quad lock mount. I wanted to let you know that the iPhone 10 that I had was mounted on a ram mount / 2016 BMW R1200GSA and the camera stabilizer within the camera was damaged as a result of the vibrations being felt by the phone. I did some research and found that quad lock makes a stabilizer along with the quad lock for the iPhone. The iPhone was repaired at the Apple store for about 80 bucks and after I hooked it up to the new hardware, it worked fine. No video shaking. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the tips. Do you know if the passenger backrest is available in Amazon or other reliable company that will ship overseas? Also a short video on the installation would be much appreciated. Keep riding!!

I'm in the DFW area, picking up a GSA 1250 HP here shortly. Looking for people to ride with! What part of texas are you in if you don't mind me asking? Thanks.

Bro - mods are awesome , but can you come and help me organize my garage - yours is fantastic 👍🏽

Thanks for the informative video on that. I just installed a HEX ezcan with auxillary lights on my 2005 R1200GS. It´s similar to the cansmart. Both are great accessories and the install was pretty easy...at least on my "old dude" :-).

It’s not a European cigarette lighter, where did you get that from?

Thanks for the great video buddy. I'm scouting out all of the specs and mods for a 2021 1250gsa I hope to acquire in the next 6mo. and your video was tremendously helpful. I was so thrilled to sit on a 1250 GSA low susp and touch the ground easily on both sides. Even better reach than on my current f800 GS. Definitely going to check out your other videos as well!

What do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking.

I came across your video and instantly subbed because of what you have your bike on... I want that motorcycle stand or whatever its called...please brother lol Come.ride in Arizona..haha Thanks again bud great video

Great Video, GSA is a wonderful bike. Is there a reason why you picked this over the RT given the type of mods you put on?

I’m pretty sure nearly everything is not allow here in Germany. But that’s good ideas! You can be glad to live in the USA

Could make them into a playlist. So that for those of us who love bike stuff we just jump into it without scrolling through the videos of the cars and other stuff. Dedicated playlist for your car Then one for the BMW bike. Otherwise I love the videos especially the install once. I get to learn a lot

What is the bike stand you are using in the video?

Bmw gs ride connect how to use your phone

Hi could you tell me what the low setting is is it 1 helmet

Great 👍

good video dude, just found your channel, i have the windshield stabilizer and altrider reinforcement bars myself.......was looking at extra lighting, i will check Denali out!....subscribed

the alt rider crash bar reinforcement is not compatible with option 719 cylinder heads...boo 👎🏻

I am planning for motorcycle world tour, most likely GSA, i live in Texas. I would like to get some help to prepare my bike, is there a way i can contact you.

Great video, agree with the point someone mentioned about putting pricing on there, also (affiliate) links? ;-) p.s... you have an amazing garage!

Hi there, great content mate, I’ve got the 2021 model, they have put a USB connector on the dash now, and moved the other connector to below the seat. Ive also got a coiled spring like cable from the socket to my phone, a lot neater and doesn’t flap about. I’m a short guy too, I found looking though a visor and a screen, when it’s raining, very difficult, and at night very dangerous. Did I see a Zumo XT sat nav? Ive got one too, awesome.

What is that dolly?

OMG! This probably adds 50+ lbs to a 600 lbs bike. I heard mods and thought weight savings. What is the point of adding a fuel tank to a GSA? Seems to be for show, rather than function. I'm guessing this bike never gets ridden on an off-road trail, just road and a little dirt.

When you're done farkling you bike that means it's time to trade it in and start with a new bike. The farkling can never stop!

My wife finds the seat on my BMW is too firm and the pegs are too low. She actually work prefer driving herself, but the bike is far too big for her.

No thanks man you are trying to turn an adventure bike into a Harley Davidson. I've been riding the gs models for 20 years and never has a windshield folded flat like you claim I call BS.

All that stuff eats batteries….
