- Welcome to our review of available accessories for the BMW K1600Bagger. In September of 2020, I sold my Harley and bought this 2019 Bagger and OMG, best decision I've made when it comes to buying motorcycles.
The first accessory had to be the backrest so my son, Bubba J, could ride with me. While on the pricey side of accessories, the Wunderlich backrest looks awesome on the bike. Since I was putting the backrest on, might as well put the cargo rack on too. It looks awesome.

The second item was a taller windshield. The OEM windshield did not block the wind sufficiently. We bought the 19: tinted windshield by 7 Jurrock and love it. You do not have to raise it all the way to avoid the wind from hitting you in the face.

With back injuries, the OEM bar risers were just too short causing me to have to stretch out too far. Bought the Illium Bar Risers and what a difference.

We finished the look of the bike with the Nelson Rigg Weekender Tail Bag. Great luggage and stands up to the elements.

Please leave a comment if too have found these accessories useful.
I’m a papaw so bubba J melted my heart and knowing he gets to ride on that awesome motorcycle with someone he loves and trusts. Ain’t nothing more important than a love like that.
Thank you and yes, he is my best friend in life
Beautiful machine and Bubba-J is the heart of the show!
Thank you so much. He is the reason we ride and have so much fun
Love the bike and especially your assistant!!! I have a 26 yr old daughter with downs.. I bought a 07 RK and after we rode the first time she yells I Love This Bike!!! Lol
That is too cool. Josh can’t get enough of our bike. He writes the days we ride on his calendar. This has got to be the best smoothest bike I have ever owned.
Our channel is pretty much about Josh’s life and adventures
@@RaptorPackAdventures i put Legend Suspension on mine front and rear.. A world of difference in ride/handling.. Olyvia can only do short scoots.. she falls asleep!!! 😂
WORD OF THE LORD ✝️🙌🏾 AMEN BROTHER 🤝🏾👍🏾
Thanks for the video. I have a 2018 Grand America. I ordered a bunch of accessories, including the Remus Quad exhaust and the illium works heel shifter.
Have to let me know how the heel shifter works out on this bike
@@RaptorPackAdventures Will do. Really excited about the Remus Quad exhaust. I have received half of the parts. Should have it all by next week, then will install.
@@RaptorPackAdventures I just traded in my 2020 R1250 GSA on a new-to-me 2020 K1600B that only had 5K miles. The previous owner had installed the Illium Works heel-toe shifter and I was unsure if I wanted to change it back to toe only but after riding about 1K miles with it there's no way I'd change it back. After a few days of riding and overcoming 50+ years of muscle memory riding with a toe shifter I find it incredibly useful.
Thanks for the really good video.
I had a heel shifter on my Harley and loved it but after riding my BMW, I really don’t miss it. It does come in handy though. Thank you for watching our video
That's a wonderful Sport Tourer disguised as a Tourer. Love the damn thing.
Gottem all on my 1600b too.....hope you and Bubba j are enjoying the miles!!!!!!
That is awesome. The windshield makes all the difference. Bubba J and I are loving every mile every day. Thanks.
Hey thanks for the video and the beautiful scenery. You and Bubba J are awesome. Tell him I said so. The bike too. Lol. Take care. 2014 BMW k1600 Exclusive owner and new subscriber.
Thank you for your words. He reads all of our comments and loves them.
Bubba J is cooler than a fan :). Nice Bike. Ride safe
Thank you. Bubba J loves to ride
Wow! Very nice! Perfectly set up. Those are Forged Wheels too. They are not standard issue but a Option 719 extra and look absolutely wonderful compared with the painted cast wheels that are standard. The Illium bar risers look great. That guy fabricates quality goods. He has a YT channel. The windscreen looks fantastic. Can you store a full face helmet in that Nelson Riggs Weekender with no problem? The bike looks great! Ride safe and ride often. God bless you and your family in all ways. Peace
I’m real happy with how the bike looks and feels. Yes, the Weekender expands to fit Qatar full size helmet. I was scheduled to buy another bike but when I saw this one with the forged wheels, I had to buy it. Love the looks
@@RaptorPackAdventures
Thank you. I agree. I checked out the Nelson Riggs link you provided. Sure enough it demonstrates a full coverage helmet being stowed. Nice. On long trips have you ever felt the need for a rider backrest?
Kind of made it into a GT
I’ll visit you Josh on cooking with Bubba J!
Beautiful bike! Hope to run into you with my k1600b
That would be great. When you find yourself in Southern Oregon, give us a shout. We’ll meet up with ya
Get rid of the stock mufflers! I installed the Freedom Performance slash cut mufflers on mine. Now my K1600B sounds as good as she looks and performs.
The cannons? 😆 That will be in the new year. I’ll look the Freedom Performance Slash out. I want to make sure the pipes look and perform superior on the bike
I bet the stereo on the Harley was the only thing better than the K1600. Lol
That was about it. The stereo on these bikes is garbage IMO
Thanks for the video, Raptor Dan. I am about to purchase a 2019 K 1600 B with very low miles. Currently own a 2017 BMW RT and love it. Took a ride out to the northwest in August. It handles very well but not so comfortable for a 6000 miles trip. Anyway. I like the windshield choice but didn't catch the mnfg name?
The windshield is from 7 Jurrock

Glad you enjoyed the video and it’s a great bike
Hey Dan, getting ready to order the windshield from 7 Jurrock and a headlight guard. Wanted to know if it will help you or your channel, in case you get some benefit from them. I first heard of the company because of your channel. @@RaptorPackAdventures
@@chaz3372 Not really. Just enjoy the windshield. You’ll love it
Great video and thanks for putting all the links to the accessories. Did you install all of them or dealer?
I installed everything and if I can do it, anyone can
@@RaptorPackAdventures Thanks - I bought some of the accessories you mentioned and they were a breeze to install!
Wow
How has reliability been? Any specific quirks/issues that you’ve discovered? Great vid by the way!
This bike has been outstanding. I really haven’t experienced any issues like other owners of the bike. Oh, and it is currently for sale too. Trying a new bike from another manufacture
@@RaptorPackAdventures Appreciate the reply! If it’s not too personal, what manufacturer are you considering? I’m currently on a ‘14 Harley and I can’t really see myself making the purchase with what I feel are overly inflated prices. Personal perspective to be sure, but it’s enough for my wife and I to seriously consider other brands as we’ve never done in the past. So thanks for the video and the reply.
@@chasemurphyinc We’re actually looking at the 2023 Road Glide Limited or an Indian. Not sure yet but I sure loved this BMW. Strongest bike I’ve owned
@@RaptorPackAdventures I am legitimately looking at the Indian Pursuit. Good luck on the search and keep us posted!
Were did you get backrest?
This is from Wunderlich. It is a bit expensive but in my opinion it’s the best looking. www.wunderlichamerica.com/seats.html
