  • Well, I have not done every upgrade on my R1250GS that I would like, but I am almost there. Everyone upgrades their bikes based on preference and comfort. My upgrades reflect my riding style and what I value. So your bike may look very different, but thats what makes it fun. It's ALL ABOUT YOU! I have provided the upgrades I have dont below with links. So if you are interested in anything feel free to check it out!
    Ride safe and see you on the pavement!
    For all my gear that I use see the links below.
    As I am growing the channel keep SUBSCRIBING, keep SHARING, and keep LIKING as every little bit counts.
    Let me know what you think in the comments below and feel free to comment about what videos YOU would like to see in the future! If I pick your video idea, I'll give you a SHOUT-OUT on the video.

    I bought the Puig touring screen for my 1250 GSA. I'm 5'11" and look over the top of it while it's in the highest position, so it doesn't obstruct vision when it's dirty. I kept the original screen and cut it down into the shape of a rallye screen for off road rides. The Puig screen bumps into the chin of my helmet when I'm going over bumpy/technical terrain in the dirt.
    Great video!

    • @AmericanAbroad1
      @AmericanAbroad1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the kind words. This is great info! I was really worried about the sightline of the screen. I didn’t want it to end center with my sightline. Im not much of an off-road guy, but Ill keep both screens just in case ;)

    You can attach your phone to the existing gps mount using an adaptor. Either a cheap Amazon one or expensive Bmw one. Both allow charging.

    I have a gsa and fitted the wunderlich marathon screen. Zero wind, visor up riding at any speed but its tooooo hot. Zero airflow through the helmet vents. Think long and hard about what you want most.

    • @AmericanAbroad1
      @AmericanAbroad1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hahah yes. I like this Puig screen. My buddy had one like the wunderlich and like you said, zero wind.
      I was burning up behind it. This one still allows a pretty good airflow so I’m happy for now.

      These are the Battlax tires by Bridgestone. I really like them. Middle of the road as far as price and ranked very high in customer approval.
      They really make me feel planted. The road 6 tires are said to be great, but they are expensive. Road tires only.
      If you want a solid 80-20 on road off road tire I have also used the TKC80’s and they are really awesome.

      I wish BMW felt the same way lol. Although you are getting great tech and features for that 20K. If you ever ride a GS you will feel it.
      But, part of the fun of any bike is kitting it out and customizing.
