@ 2:10 you said same engine*

Those tires were the Shinko 804 / 805 Big Block Adventure Touring Tires. I think I got about 5k miles out of them before changing.

I didn't do a video on the crash bars due to camera issues while filming the installation. They are called AKURAT from Costa Rica. At the time I could only fine them on Facebook and I had to email them my bike information to get a quote and place an order. They work well but the fitment wasn't great. I was one of the first people to try their 2020-2023 crash bars and skid plate on the 2024. They had to make some updates and it was still off in some areas i.e. the oil drain hole was not aligned on the skid plate and the bolt holes on the crash bars were difficult to line up Hopefully, they've update the product since then.

I couldn't tell you how important that piece is for sure. Without it there I think there will be a large hole and nothing to mount the front part of your bracket to right?

Yes, I confirmed with Mykah Dean that without it the mounting plate sent with the pipes will not be flush with the bike's mounting bracket. Thanks for the reply!

I like them fine but the front is louder that I expected sounds like it’s more knobby than it really is.

Thanks. The Outback Motortek crash bars worked great in my experience. They took some really hard hits. I’ve seen a lot of people reporting broken or damaged frames with several brands of crash bars so that makes me nervous. I don’t particularly like the look of the Triumph crash bars but would expect that if anything happened you’d have a better chance of a warranty claim. Either way it’s a risk. Without them you’ll most certainly damage the tank and plastics so there’s that to consider. I took a chance with AKURAT crash bars on my Rally Pro and so far no issues. They taken a few decent hits.

Yea that’s what I did but had to do it solo so it took a little work. Thanks for watching.

@@timetomoto thanks for putting it up, I just wish I had found it before I installed mine.

I didn’t notice an increase in consumption. I no longer have the GT Pro and I don’t recall exactly what the fuel consumption was after this modification.

I don’t have the GT pro anymore but the tires make a huge difference. The stock tires will get you there though. It just makes the handling feel squirrely.

congrats on the new bike

I’m lost. I just copied you exact set up. The problem is the Evotech mount was for a peak design case. Where did you find the bracket to fit you zumo to that evotech mount?

Nevermind. I ordered the wrong mount. Ugh!

I used the longer supplied bolts but this was a few years ago. I replaced them with Barkbusters later on after dropping the bike and bending the bar protectors.

they hold the plastic air box cover on so they need to come off in order to replace the filter

Thanks. Fair enough

Overpunctuate much? Not exactly sure what you’re trying to convey here. Filling oil without a filter in place would result in oil spilling out. If you're saying the filter should be prefilled before installing then yes, I agree and made a mistake on that part. Take care and learn how to write.

me too 👍

Cloudcroft, NM

Could but where's the fun in that? 😉

Thanks. It's loud but not as loud as others. I take it easy in the neighborhood to keep the noise down as much as I can.

So far so good. No issues with adjustments for me.

Thanks. You can rake it out more than stock and it helps a little but it's still twitchy. I max the front preload and minimize the rear depending on whether or not I have luggage.

@@timetomotoget stiffer springs, it made a huge difference

It's ok for light off roading. I upgraded to the Rally Pro.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks. It really depends on what type of riding you plan on doing. The KTM is lighter and performs really well off road. The Tiger is top heavy and is decent off road. Both are good on road but I feel more comfortable on the Tiger. I’ve ridden the 890 but not enough to give you a solid opinion. There’s a lot more differences so I’d recommend doing more research and test riding them if possible.

It brought it back slightly. Maybe just by a couple millimeters.

Thanks

Yes they are the vps. I already had the hand guards from a previous bike. I got them from pacific power sports. pacificpowersports.com/shop/triumph-tiger-900gt-gt-pro-rally-pro-24-on-bhg-120/?srsltid=AfmBOopNo2yikOKegQiISit2bz7x86IJ3jPJxGxV1E5Fe9jVfKOO6IrH

I added a grab rail in a later video. th-cam.com/video/aTxS9BFYxHM/w-d-xo.html

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks.

This is Willow City Loop near Fredericksburg Texas.

Unfortunately no

@@timetomoto Damn, thanks will try to figure it out.

I was planning on keeping them in case my wife starts riding with me.

Thanks

The GPS is a ZumoXT and the mount is Evotech performance th-cam.com/video/n79o36oSdEU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=83JmQpihgmzXD904 I got the short windscreen from AliExpress. www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806558768377.html

Thanks!

Yea I hear you. It becomes a feature during the winter. Texas winters are mild so it’s not needed most of the time. Some people are bothered by it where others don’t notice. I only notice it on really hot days. But hey I’m sitting on top of a hot engine so some heat is expected.

Good question. I know I had issues with the USB slot when using cables for my iPhone that weren't fast charging so it may depend on the cable you use for the TomTom.

I have just tried that. It appears to supply insufficient power for the TomTom 550. However, although in an awkward position, the socket to the side of the seat does work and provides instant power, i.e. not switched. I am trying to work out how to run the cable back to the battery area to a Thunderbox. I think I am going to bite the bullet and subscribe to the Triumph technical manual to discover how to remove panels and tank if necessary.

@@bursar65yeah it is a 12V and usb provides only 5. Ended up hooking it up to the CANSmart. Works a treat.

@@dacastro7 you don't need to remove the panels. buy a cable threader and feed it through the main cabler stock at the front of the motorcycle. it runs smoothly through where the cables are and pops out on the frame near the battery. then you can connecdt it to your thunderbox and tie it to the frame.

@@DanielCastro-md1ow Thanks for the tip. I had tried pushing through thin rods/pipes but to no avail. I hadn't heard of a cable puller. I will give it a go.

Joker Machine Mini Serrated Floorboards. I like'em

@@timetomoto thank you for the hasty reply!

🤘

It was a fun road. I didn’t expect that.

👍

Nice! I didn’t do a video on it but it’s a DrySpec Tool Tube from Amazon.

Yea I’ve noticed that too. More noisy than I expected given it’s not a knobby.

Thanks. Unfortunately the way the OEM grab rail is mounted you can’t use it with the tail tidy. That was the main drawback for me but the OEM grab rails also made it a little more difficult to mount my Mosko reckless 40 bags without them sticking out too far. Thanks for the sub. So close to 1k but still won’t be monetized until I get my watch hours up. No worries though I’m not doing it for the $.

@@timetomoto Thanks for the reply. I get why you did it and really like your grab rails too. Good video and solution. They look good enough to be on the market. But yeah, my luggage setup seems better with the OEM parts. But man, that tail light placement looks great. Good luck with getting those hours (I get it). And I also get doing this for other reasons. Shiney side up.

It’s good for light off roading but if you expect to do more aggressive off road riding I’d recommend the Rally Pro. I ended up selling my GT Pro and getting the Rally Pro because I wanted more off road capabilities 👍

You got it 👍

Haha I hear ya - do it! 😀 There’s a lot of amazing places that Tundra will take you through.

Thanks
