hello, I bought the below mirrors and the hand guards stayed on using the mirror hardware. the configuration didn’t look exactly how I’d like it but it works. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PP6CB73/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

@@CrayzJohnny Hey, thanks a lot for your answer, so if i understood correctly, it doesn't need any adapter or converter to keep the handguards. they mirrors can be installed as they were bought?

Agreed. I've raised the blade up and went over the mound a couple days later. Thanks for your feedback!

I think you would be better off with the gtl. I am thinking I'd like the r1250rt better myself.

Love the whole area, I would do that ride everyday if I could!

No ear plugs are required. When I did use the GP shorty, that did hurt my ears, but not with this setup

I now have a 2023 s1krr m package with full titanium headers and running the stock can. It sounds sweet! Let me know if you want to meet up to hear it.

@@CrayzJohnny I very much do! I have the mpackage as well. I'm curious what it sounds like with the stock can. Where are you out of?

I'm just outside, north of concord NH

Here it is before I did a stage 1 brentune. th-cam.com/users/shortsiGIjc2N-hgk?si=kZG0zxn7jslU_9CD

Hey I forgot I had a s1kr but sold it soon after I put this pipe on. th-cam.com/video/BrdB-fK01Bw/w-d-xo.html

Let me know what you think after a test ride.

I got the shorter one, 20"

well that is a trick question for me, I'm 6' tall but I have long legs and a short torso. The windshield helped a little but not as much as I would of hoped. I do recommend the windshield but it did not completely solve the issue of buffeting and pushing my head forward from the back at higher highway speeds. I wish I had the taller windshield to see if that made a difference at all.

@@CrayzJohnny thanks for replying 👍

Thanks for the support bud and that is my plan! Have a great day!

I just need to get past this winter then vids will start again

It is the stock akrapovic muffler but the headers are full akrapovic steal with no catalytic converter. It definitely is louder than stock, but not obnoxious

Thanks for stopping by bud! I'm still waiting to find out how it would do in 2 feet of heavy snow. But, it makes things so much more fun at least. Hope all is well, have a great week.

You will not be disappointed when it snows more for sure! Plus, doesn't it add more fun to the snow removal?!?! Thanks for stopping by bud! Have a great day

I just spent 1 1/2 hrs plowing the lake. About 6 inches out there, no problem, no chains. We have some ice bikes that run out there, I make the track.@@CrayzJohnny

the ride will be quick, just not sure you'll have it back real quick. lol!!

I ride a cheap china 😢 bike worth 800 dolars smithing wrong with exhaust it pops like a gun smtimes 😂😂😂

Hope I can buy a better one soon tho

Hey bud, thanks for stopping by and hope all is well with you and the fam. In regards to the bar end mirrors. it is just a preference thing, no real advantage. I just kind of dislike the larger stock mirrors even though they supply great vision to what is behind me, but no, no advantage other than preference for looks over function. The new build I am working on with a 2023 S1000RR, Rizoma mirrors that are pretty much useless but I still like the looks better. lol

@@CrayzJohnny Thank you my dude 👍🏽. Stay safe. -🎄

No, It's loud, my sales guy heard the bike inside the building but compared to the stupid loud akra gp shorty, I'd take this any day.

⁠@@CrayzJohnnyThanks! I was planning to do the same to my s1000r. I wanted more exhaust growl and some loudness but not stupid loud. I find the stock header to be too quiet. Almost got hit already by stupid drivers not looking.

No problem bud, glad to give my opinion when I can. I think you'll be happy with the results.

To give you an idea for an s1000r, I did the same for mine: th-cam.com/video/BrdB-fK01Bw/w-d-xo.html

Thanks bud, I have a couple changes going on with it, I'll get those changes posted once the weather gets better up here. Hope you had a great weekend so far.

I don't have this bike... But i like this bike... Performance, spec, and speed i like that.... I hope one day i will get this bike...

​@zam2052 it's one of the best looking bikes, IMO of course. Although, you have to do some work to it before it gets to its full potential. As stock, below 8k rpm, it feels like a 600cc. The bike is very restricted out of the box. Still is fun, but a lot more fun if you get it tuned.

Couldn't agree more!

Yes bud. I agree but I saw someone use it as a bottle holder! Lol

@@CrayzJohnny LoL. It just cleans up the front so nicely. Just rolled over 3000 miles on mine since June 30. Everything is done on the bike except for a Bren stage3/E85 tune. Love it so far.

What's up bro?! For how I ride, no track days, so no, they did not interfere. Although, I'd just take these off on the track, which is pretty easy to do. Hope I answered your question.

100% champ thank you

Yup, after my divorce I moved all my toys to the storage unit until I find a more permanent place, with a garage that is!

@@CrayzJohnny Sorry if it's too personal but judging by how the court system works, did you happen to have home before this and she ended up taking it?

We sold our home before filing for divorce proceedings. So, it was easy to finalize the divorce. It was an amicable for the most part

Divorce is never easy, no matter how you look at it. I didn't talk about it on my channel, especially during the whole process because it's such a downer.

Definitely a great area to ride. Thanks for stopping by bud!

I have the optional wireless charging mount. I use the bar mount kit without a spacer which fits the GSA bars perfectly.

Can you please send link of the mount or any adapters you use!! Im literally having dealer get rid of the gps mount and bracket before i leave lol I literally hate the look of it..

www.quadlockcase.com/collections/shop-motorcycle/products/motorcycle-mount?variant=39621088592 I’m just not sure what type of phone you have. there is a drop-down for the charging unit.

yes I did, mostly in the handlebars. reminds me of my old gsxr-750. rumor has it, the vibration isn’t as bad as the gen 1.

@@CrayzJohnny thanks buddy. I was trying to decide if I would get the XR or the Hayabusa being that I'm 6'3" tall. I don't like vibrations in the handlebars and the 2023 busa has ZERO....

I would have to agree with you on that, I am 6' tall and this vibration finally got to me. Now, full disclosure, I do not remember what the vibration was like before I put on the full akrapovic headers and exhaust including a brentune. I would expect the brentune to smooth it out a bit but I do not remember what the vibration was like with the CAT still on the bike.

Those of us that want to sit though watching you plow your driveway are living vicariously through you. So yeah we don’t want music; we want the noise of plowing the driveway. I agree with the first guy and think that being rude to people engaging with your videos is immature.

@@CrayzJohnny I would tend to agree. As soon as the tunes came on, I muted. It was a good video, though. I love hearing the machine work.

@@WAVE_ZERO Agreed.

It drove my nuts hearing the plow scrap my driveway that did not have the second layer of tar to make it smooth. It was like hearing fingernails against a chalkboard.

Yup, I did install a dB killer, helped a lot!

And yet you helped my ratings and interacted with my content. There is never bad publicity. 😏🤣 I'm just a small TH-camr, don't get paid for this and do it for fun. Don't like the video, keep scrolling, I don't give af.

34 likes now, and growing all because of you, so thanks for making my video more popular. 🤣😁🤪

and I’m still bigger than you, dick. couldn’t just stfu could you? had to add your 2” right? might want to go do some research before you start blowing….

the akra header and muffler add at least 7 more HP, you’d know that if you could read a chart, idiot. and I said 10. not like 50. why you bring drama? might want to put your big boy pants on and take your tampon out

and the brentune brings the stock HP to 160 with the stock headers. man, some of you idiots just piss me off

quoted from external source, so eat sh1t: According to Bren Tuning, tuned results for the Akra header and end can as a system, results in an improvement of 8 - 10 HP. That would be maybe 10 HP at red line of course. A modest but not entirely insignificant improvement (6%). The Akra header without the Akra end can doesn’t necessarily see that improvement.

friggin troll, nothing left to say huh big guy? thought so, b1tch.

Thanks bro! Let me know if you pick one up!

it is pretty ridiculous how much we have to spend on a Harley to get it to where we actually like it. I think it’s more of the nostalgia of owning a Harley compared to actually liking what they buy, nobody really wants a 850lbs piece of metal to drag around. I do miss my Harley road glide only because I put so much work into it. thanks for stopping by bud, hope all is well with you and the fam. ✌️

@@CrayzJohnny Great content.

that is one way to look at it, I guess. lol

Not really. Most people cannot ride the 1250 off-road like hyped for. Plus the suspension is pretty terrible off-road with that small front tire. If you're going to buy a GSA for touring, just get a full on touring bike, like a Goldwing. Unless you want a Starbucks crawler to show off your expensive ADV wear.

@@chrislovell7448 true, i always go offroad with my GS, but i broke many parts 😅, this bike is heavy for offroading.. however, i think its the best bike for touring and light adventure

hi bud, completely agree with you 💯. I hope to find some dirt roads here in New Hampshire and I just heard Vermont (USA) has some great trails for the gsa. The RT must be a fast bike, especially off the line and getting speed!? it’s smaller and probably lighter than the gsa, so that’s is a good combination and I don’t blame you for switching over from the gsa to the RT. thanks for stopping by bud, get to hear from you and hope all is well. as always, ride safe!

@@CrayzJohnny thank you for welcoming me to your channel. Bring more content about your rides and it will be a pleasure to watch and cooperate with your work. The RT has different scope. It’s a big bike with 280 kgs of weight dry but due to its touring vocation is prepared to provide traveling long distances at high paces and the fuel consumption is very reasonable for the comfort and secure ride that it offers. I find it so reliable as the GS or the GSA. It has a superior aerodynamic design that allows you and the pillion to feel really protected and safe doing long mileage on it. At the same time I use the bike for commuting between my house and my working place, that is a daily ride of 40 miles each way. The two panniers and the top case, provide enough space to carry everything I need and that is important if we want to use it often, on working days and not only on weekends, just riding it for fun. It’s a great overall bike. Thanks once more, and ride safe yourself too ✌️✌️

I’m planning on getting more videos out on the XR and also the GSA. we have a bike week coming within the next couple weeks, it is the oldest bike week on the country and it is having an 100th year anniversary. should be a great turnout this year, compared to previous. talk soon bro, have a great week.

Exactly, and after riding the k1600b for more than just a test ride, I'd go with the goldwing. Better wind protection, better stability, and comfort. The k1600b is nice but not as stable at higher speeds, there is also a "backdraft" and I found at highway speeds the air flows behind you and pushes your head forward. That was a weird feeling. Thanks for stopping by!

@@CrayzJohnnythat happens with almost every large electric windshield. The same happens with my sport tourer a Triumph Trophy. I find I get it to a point and don’t put the electric windshield any higher.

Hi Chris, thanks for stopping by and your support! here is a link to the windshield below. let me know if you have any further questions! hope your having a great weekend. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/puig-touring-windscreen-bmw-s1000xr-2021-2022?sku_id=10284707

No problem mate. I’m an Australian XR M Sport owner 2021. I’ve remapped & removed catalytic converter. Very similar sound. I’ve owned 3 x XR’s but this model is ballistic. I’ve subbed to yr channel. Thx mate. Ride safe out there 👍 🇺🇸 🇦🇺

I agree completely!

yo bro, how are you? hope all is well with you and fam/friends. I have been riding, but the rides have been boring and not worth posting them on here. Plus with winter, I can’t expand my travel much on the bike. The weather has finally started getting nicer around here this week. I can say I just dropped off the bike for its 600 mile break in yesterday including the unlock, so a video of the brentune and how it runs/rides will be next for sure! I’d rather not talk politics on here, we both know how people get so offended around here now a days. Although, my opinion doesn’t differ much from yours.

Hey bro, thanks for the support! I'm going to have to check out that wunderlich screen, maybe it's better than mine? Thanks for the tip! Ride safe!

hi bud, thanks for stopping by. the screen is good for those colder rides and takes care of more buffeting. I switch back and forward from this and a sport screen depending on outside air temperature. hot summer days, I’m going to want more air. hope all is well!

@@CrayzJohnny Everything ok here. I have 2 oem screens and puig sport screen. I tried the mra vario touring screen but don't work for me. Maybe i will try the puig touring screen. Thanks for your answer greetings ✌️😉

I've actually already traded in my k1600b and the reasons why are because of the wobble and also because there is a back draft that pushes my head forward about say 85mph. Even with an after market windshield, things did not improve. I now have a R1250GS adventure and is such a better bike if you don't mind the height, there is a low suspension option as well.

Also, I can ride with no hands on the r1250gsa the k1600b is not as smooth and stable, you always have to adjust at highway speed unlike the r1250gsa

I came off of a 1250 RT sport and purchased a 2023 K1600B, 719 option-midnight dust and I absolutely love it! Super comfortable, handles great and very quick! Over 2000 miles on it, mainly highway cruising and highly recommend this bike. Added Remus exhaust, stock windshield and stock everything else and again, I absolutely love the bike!

@@BadJamnAre you still enjoying your K1600b? Any issues to report? You never experienced the wobble or weave on the highway?

It's an awesome bike, I can't believe I didn't consider it before. It takes care of all my needs instead of having two different bikes.

sound system is lacking everything, sad to say. two speakers, no sound quality and I’d rather use my helmet Bluetooth communications to listen to the music instead of listening through the stock speakers. I’m not sure if you can upgrade the sound system with a third party product but anything would be better than this.

@@CrayzJohnny My first thought was to go with a Road Glide; however, I am not too happy about the inferior engineering HD still offers; not to mention the fact that it takes thousands to get their stock bike just right with aftermarket upgrades. That's why I started considering the K 1600 B; the lack of sound quality that you and a number of other TH-camr's have reported is enough for me to hesitate on buying this bike. Very disappointed that BMW would do this. Unacceptable.

there are other things I’m not a fan of this bike as well. one is the wind buffeting, the air actually pushes my head forward at 70+mph. the bike feels unstable above 80mph, similar to my road glide. now, if I had the choice, I’d still get another road glide compared to the k1600. I completely agree with you in regard to performance and the Harley you have to invest so much to get so little, but, the road glide has little buffeting and performance options are there at least. the only other bike I would consider is maybe a gold wing. my buddy owns one and he says it is the best for touring.

@@CrayzJohnny I appreciate all of your feedback about the BMW; if it were me, i would be very disappointed w/ that bike given all of the issues you mentioned. I test rode the the R 18 B b/c they didn't have any K bikes in stock. Despite the R 18 B being an attractive bike, it's possibly the worst motorcycle I have ever ridden. The boxer motor was absolutely horrible the way it made the bike shake side to side; the sound was like a little toy, the performance was severely lacking and the shifter peg placement rendered my foot unable to shift comfortably (something other TH-camr's have complained about). I think I will stay away from BMW baggers for now. The Goldwing is a fantastic bike for touring, just a bit sedate.

I appreciate you bro, thanks for stopping by. I do now own an S1000xr, this takes care of my sportbike and touring requirements and no buffeting. it does remind me of the r1250gsa, but I do not go off road so the s1000xr was best for me.

Hi bud, thanks for stopping by. these mirrors work really good for the price and I found them on Amazon. I had to get the optional bar end adapters to mount the mirrors. if you need the info on the bar end adapters, let me know. oh and these look similar to the billet mirrors you can get from BMW. www.amazon.com/dp/B08PP6CB73?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Thanks for stopping by bro, much appreciated! I bought the light smoke touring windshield just in case of night riding, I already bought a shorter one that gives me a little more protection than stock sport windshield but less protection than this one. This gives me a couple more options. Yes, eagles got ripped off for sure! Ride safe bro, hope your able to get on the road more than I am right now. Piece!

Cut it? What do you mean? This is from the software of the insta360. I wanted to show the whole effect. What should I have done differently?

@@CrayzJohnny There is a program from Intsta360 with which you can cut such clips. It sucks the way it is now.

can’t please everyone I guess. thanks for your feedback

Thanks bud!

😁

I never heard of any issue with warranty and installing the Akrapovic headers. my dealer installs them all the time and never advised it would void the warranty. is that what you heard? if you asked about the brentune and warranty issues, that would be a different answer.

Thanks，Do you have the malfunction code on the bike after change header？How do you resolve it？

I didn’t get a malfunction after switching out the exhaust, I also just removed the rear servo.
