Impressive! It's actually great that some people dare to invest in customisation and to push the boundaries. We can then see the realm of possible and dream a bit!
Really impressive to see the Bahama Bike finally finished. Your bike was the pinnacle of what you could do, that mark has been moved forwards and upwards, and the best bit is the customer is currently riding to South Africa. I thought the work you did on my bike was amazing, and worth the 3hr cold/wet ride to spend the day with you. Once again thank for the hard work, the videos and pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

You have one of the best 1250's on the road! Great job!
A great build! And some great skills to wire all that together and blend it together seamlessly.
Nice, That's a lot of lights, you should show us a diagram on how it's wired to the Hexcan
Always enjoy your videos and the tech talk. Keep it up!
I was wondering why the machete then you said he is travelling through to SA that explains it all now. Excellent job Steve and Tom 🤘🏻

Really useful against bandits with AK47's
*Massive respect to the owner* He’s actually riding it to SA ! WOW ! That will be an amazing trip.
Amazing 🤩🤩💫✨👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Loving the fact that it is a triple black now living up to its name, instead of black and silver. I think he would have been better off with satin silver as its more forgiving with Sand, dirt & South Africa. Equally intimidating. Nice job, well done. I live inCape Town and have done pretty much what he has without all the lights. I also use the Garmin tread which I wired directly to the system & removed the midget Nav 6 system. Also have a couple of secret "deterrents" hidden on the bike.
Impressive, but I hope Customs don’t see this until after he clears Dover / Ashford next week… Keep up the good work!

What Highway pegs are those? You said there would be a link in the description - alas there is none, they look much better built than the ones I currently have.

The highway pegs are "Ilium motorcycle pegs". I have them on my BMW. Love them and haven't seen another set of them until this video.
I really like your videos and work which you are doing with Tom. I understand that the customer is the king. In my opinion too much it's too much. Guy invests lots of $$$ in million of the lights, plans to go to rough roads, and his bike does stand on street tires 😅. Machete, it's a good tool if you need to open coconut or use it as a surface under your sidestand when you stop on the sandy terrain. Well, if you ever get there with those tires 😂. I used my Machete many times going solo off road 3300km in 2 weeks in Costa Rica. The cover of Machete was attached to the Honda CRF 300cc with 2 zip tides and was perfectly fine. When /if you will goes off road I am wondering if those side footrests will not open your camshaft cover when you drop the bike (and you will). Work performed beautifully as usual, if really needed? Greetings from 🇨🇭
Nice work Steve. I mounted my T3s on the handguards on my S1000XR in exactly the same way, I've had to shroud them as you can see them from above and they interfere with your night vision! I find it interesting that there is all that focus on additional lights on the front but only a B6 on the rear. Why not T3s for better rear brake/indicator visibility (the standard indicator/tail light combo on BMWs now is dire)?
Good evening Steve, as always you are very professional and do an amazing job on the machines!!! of these two that I see, you don't sell any of them? because wherever I've seen, no one else makes the machines like you..

Many thanks!
I'm very interested in your bike wash setup. Pardon me if you posted a video earlier but I couldn't find anything related to "wash" when searching your archives. I did see your video of the Sky Lift - very cool! If you could post some details, it would be most appreciated!
Awesome video! Kudo's to you and Tom. I love the carbon and the powder coating. Ilmberger carbon I'm assuming? I have some on my GS. I do admire your enthusiasm . But that's a lot of lights. Beautiful bike for sure. The Dark Knight I think. I do want to see it with the bags on. I saw a GS last year with a plethora of lights, and when stopped they rotated counter clockwise. It certainly got my attention at a stoplight! I do enjoy these videos very much. Keep up the good work. Best!
I mean ... great job from you and your team, but for me it's wayyyy to much ... I know many people like to kind of customize the GS(A), but this looks like a christmas tree with all of those lights ... and I don't know if the knife is a good idea. 1st: if someone wants to job the bike the knife is already there and 2nd ... if you ride this through germany for example and the police notice the knife (and they will notice the bike with all of those lights, because it's not allowed here in germany) than the owner will have a huge problem ... just my 2 cents ... no offense 🙂
Hello Steve !!! I want these blue lights, where do I buy them please if you have in your store give me the link to buy them ... for a GS1250 GS OF 2022
I just received my Triple Black R1300GS. It arrived with BMW auxiliary lights. Does the Mojave have the ability to incorporate or use aftermarket lights and without throwing error codes on the TFT display? The current OEM auxiliary lights are controlled within the menu of the display. I believe on previous GS’s they were separate from the onboard computer? I don’t believe your installs have included bikes with preexisting BMW lights already mounted. Thanks in advance.
Top job lads well done !! An I'm betting he who owns it is job is hedge fund management 😅
Awesome Steve, what was the total cost for the amazing accessory list he requested..
2 things..South Africa potholes will break all that lights off. Nr 2..if that dont break him it might get stolen.
Beautiful build!!! i was about to make a comment about it being a show bike or adventure and you mentioned he is riding down to SA on this from the UK. thats going be amazing. is he planning on documenting his trip and where will be be able to follow it.

Steve, is there anything new in the pipeline for the tiger 1200 RP that you know of? Feel like most companies haven’t got behind it 😢
There are way Cleaner ways to this with one unit an optical relay and 1/5 the wires. You want the flashing lights you can add an authory mosule and just code it on

You should offer the blue flashing lights to first responders and law enforcement in the states . Require the necessary credentials for the sale. Myself and many of my fellow first responders would love them.
This GS belongs on page 3 🤪 lurrrrvly.
ps I didn't see the machete coming! But it does have me thinking........
That is so cool, your workmanship is always outstanding. I hope he is not a assassin 😂 and going to use that bike on his next job 😂

Looks great Steve but is there a way of delaying the lights coming on for 15 seconds while you start the bike ,so the lights dont take all the voltage on startup?

So pleased that GSA has carbon fibre parts, weight saving on a bike is vital after all. There's nothing like bling Biker's, may be W 1nker biker's with money to burn come in to another category though. Nice exercise for the business , but I bet the owner has a complete matching Twat Suit ensemble😂😂

Very impressive build. Ridiculous bike for Africa.
Much prefer your more simplistic bike. I feel like he has ruined the ethos of a GS, might as well be riding a gold wing.
