Bro, I think your bike is super nice. So, I have a question bugging me that I would appreciate your honest opinion on. >> Is there any REAL advantage of having the rear view mirrors on the bars ends (2:08), vs. the factory location? If you feel there is, can you share what those advantages are? Thanks in advance. -🍀
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
Nice video. I have a 2021 XR ice grey color and I love mine. I had a puig sport screen on my bike and I loved the look but not really much protection from the elements. I switched to a Wunderlich Marathon touring screen and I like the ride much better. More relaxing ride and lots more wind protection. I know puig has a touring screen as well which I'm sure would be good but I only live about 45 mins from Wunderlich USA so I just walked in and walked out with the screen. Couldn't help myself. 😂😊 Subscribed!
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
loving those color coordinated panniers, brother. is that the dark smoke puig touring screen or just lite tint? I own a 2022 triple blk xr. I'm from philly but live n Seattle these days....refs cheated the eagles n the superbowl. 🏈 I also have the puig short windshield & and want to get the puig touring size screen...looks like you are definitely 👀 looking thru it. I ride at nite sometimes, so maybe the tall dark smoke puig screen is not a good idea, perhaps just the lite smoke.
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!
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 ✌️😉
@@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.
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 👍 🇺🇸 🇦🇺
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?
@@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?
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.
Brotha... why aren't you riding that gorgeous bike of yours? Also.... how is your section of the country feeling about President Biden these days? out here in Seattle, WA, we like Maryanne Williamson for president. President biden is kind of past his prime... in my humble opinion. Watch out for President Trump, too.....he'll get back n the oval office before biden does that for sure.
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.
You did the right thing😊

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!
Love that bike. It's definitely on my shortlist. I think I'll keep my exhaust stock however. That muffler is too much. 😂
Yup, I did install a dB killer, helped a lot!
Nice video! I have a 23 XR (pretty excited); can you share where you got your mirrors?

Biker, did you feel any vibrations in the handlebars/pegs/seat at high speed ?
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.

Looks like you also rent a storage unit like me. Do you live in an apartment too?
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.
I have your bike also stock version
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.
