2020 BMW K1600 GT - Handle Bar Upgrade Part 2 

Just installed them on mine. I didn't have any issues with the wire hold-down...I pushed it out from the "back" or bottom. Those little plates made a huge difference. I also installed the Ilium foot pegs....they match the bike perfectly and work a treat. I'm impressed. Thank you for this tutorial, it was spot on.

I got the little wiring bracket off easily, but dropped it & lost it in the bodywork while re-installing it! What a pain. The video was very helpful.

...Way better method of installing the helibar extenders than the directions that helibar provides. You saved me from having to drill out stripped T40 bolt heads. Thank you!

Another great video from Jay Bear!

Nice bike jay I have the same 1 ,can't fault it ,regards dingo from Australia

Hello Jeff...awesome video! I intend to buy a new GT later this year, but I'm on the smaller side at 5'9" with a 30.5" inseam, and so I think the low seat option is a must, but the handlebar position on the B model is slightly higher and closer than the GT, so the riser in your video is a way to reproduce that position. Have you noticed any adverse effects on handling after installing the risers? I have read comments on the forums both ways, so I thought I'd ask your thoughts since you have both bikes side by side. I could just get the B model, but I much prefer the aesthetics of the GT. Thanks for your input!!

Hi Jay. Checking your vid on risers for my GTL. How did you get those bolts out (they seems to be aluminium cast and already strip one. any tricks to take them out. Dont want to bring the bike to dealership for a 3 hours jobs. thanks in advance mike

Why is it that you own 2 K1600 ?

Thanks for the video! Do the bar risers allow more room to use a tank bag, or would there be even less room for the bag when moving the bars to lock?

Did the brake hose tighten when turning to the right?

Why didn't you use your torque wrench when you were mounting the bars to the spacers?

Also, on the earlier model GT it looks like there is a multi-position mount; curious as to where that came from. Which one do you like better? Thank You!

Have you noticed the lower suspention on the Sport yet?

Hi Jay bear I've been watching your videos new subscriber, I'm currently on a Honda vtx 1800 and want to make the move to the bmw k1600 I'm 6 foot 4 same as you and will be riding 2up with my wife there's not much for dealerships out here in s.d. can you tell me if the gt or the gtl would be more comfortable for a tall guy like us? Long distance? I noticed difference in seat height and fuel tank size can always add the top case to the gt like you did I see good used ones going for that 9-10 grand range do I go gt or gtl?

Where is the video about the ride to evaluate the bar riser mods? I want to possibly add this to my 2013 GTL but need a little more real world info.

Please, would you provide information on your radar detector mounting setup? Thank You

Hi Jeff & Jay Thank you for the informative video. I am also 6'3 and I have test driven a GT model. I found the handlebars very low. I want to raise them but do not want to bring it closer to me. For some reason I already feel a bit cramped. In some way it feels like the bars are not wide enough and for that reason I do not want it to become closer. Any wisdom on options?

If you got that mount from Wunderlich, you paid too much. Their prices are ridiculous.
