BMW R1250GS Accessories and Upgrades: I have split this into 2 episodes (Part 1 and Part 2), so over the two episodes I will look 17 different accessories for the GS, and show you that it is possible to accessorize on a budget and still achieve a good level of quality.
Yes… there are some accessories or parts that I personally would not install, due to their important role on the motorbike, but overall, I am very pleased with the results, and there is a substantial saving to be made if you spent time finding good quality alternatives.
I will also continue to release several “Tips and Tricks” episodes, for helping you understand how to use the TFT and menu system and how to get the maximum from the different riding modes and settings. I will also cover the Navigator 6 and the BMW connected app.
I hope to upload 1 new video each week during this first season, so please Subscribe and press the Bell notification button (This will help the channel grow and develop), and of course you will be notified when the next episode is uploaded.
If you have any requests or content suggestions about the BMW R1250GS series… just let me know. Carl

@thanhto3023 18 дней назад

Nice of you to put alternative ebay/aliexpress components out there. When it comes to performance/protection parts, sure go for the big brand parts for peace of mind. But for things like windscreen, decals, footpeg cover, china counterparts are very much worth the money. Some people will complain about chinese copycats, but hey why bother buying $200 headlight cover when the $30 works just fine. Maybe if big brands stop putting ridiculous price tags on their products, I’ll come around and support them( Touratech, cough…cough). Meanwhile I’ll be very happy spending my own money on other needs.

@@justthewayitisDo you think the upper crash bars are neccessary? I have not fit any protection on my bike ( very much brand new, less than 500km) so really juggle between upper, lower and skidplate or any combination between the 3 of them. I’m somewhat confident with my road/off road skill and rode a T120 so I can relate with the weight (I can match offroad speed with Tigers), but this is very much my first adventure motorcycle.

@justthewayitis 16 дней назад

Hi Thanh. If you lay the GS down in your garage you’ll find the lower crash bars do most of the work. I’ve not fitted the upper ones as I don’t feel I need them. You could check on your local adventure bike forum and see what other owners suggest and if they are needed. Hope that helps Carl 🙋🏻‍♂️

@justthewayitis 2 года назад

Hi Ralf, I'm currently in Norway on tour, so I do not have full PC access just my phone. But I found it quickly on Amazon.de by using the following. Seller: ‎QJY-Motor Part-Store Part: RF-013 Currently they have 3 in stock for 65€. Delivery time is 4 days. The other thing is, if you can find this exact part, you can check the images, because their are several other sellers with the same part for sale for the same price. Perhaps in the UK they sell under a different name. But the part above is the exact one I installed and its been great, no issues and a good saving for a plastic part we dont see once its fitted. Let me know how you get on please. Carl

Well done on a great video. Could you provide some feedback on the genuine engine crash bars? I read comments on the forums that the cylinder head covers can still touch the road when the bike falls over. Is that what you are finding with your crash bars?

@justthewayitis 11 месяцев назад

Their are better crash bars that offer more protection , but I didn’t like the look or the extra distance they stick out, so I also use the Wunderlich cylinder head protector underneath which is the solution I like best Carl

@Alcakaja Год назад

Hi Carl, as an owner of a GSA, I find the topics of your vids interesting and informative. You come across explaining things in simple and understandable terms. I wonder if you have in mind making a vid on the Satnav VI. There’s a lot of controversy on this device as it seems that issues of “ghosting” affects it (I myself am experiencing it) and neither BMW or Garmin want to accept liability once the item is out if warranty. What are your views and/or experience/recommendations? Thanks and continue your excellent work.

@justthewayitis Год назад

Hello Alcakaja and welcome to the channel. Have you tried cleaning the screen properly using Glasses Cleaner you can buy it in most towns in Opticians. The key to success is Along the edges between the glass and the frame especially as this is the main cause of ghosting. It works for me every time but you need to get the screen and edges really clean Let me know if this works for you Best wishes Carl

@michaelwilliams3861 2 года назад

Something else worth mentioning about the side sand enlargers, is if you have a GS/GSA Low, most of the side stands wont work, they clash with the subframe. You need to buy a Low specific one, and they are hard to find.

Hello,when you fit the rear fender extension did you get another screw with it? The existing screw that you take out under the original mudguard isn't long enough to go through the extension and fit back into the hole again to secure it?? Many thanks

@justthewayitis 10 месяцев назад

Hi Bobby, it was over a year ago and I can’t honestly remember, but what you say jogs a memory that I did use a longer stainless steel bolt along with an extra nut & bolt I added to the upper left side looking from below, I was able to add the nut from under the seat area on the left. Nothing has moved since I installed it. Hope that helps Best of luck with your installation Carl

@motocrucian Год назад

I picked up a 2015 R1200GSA at a good price a while back with a bunch (in-fact I'd say almost too many) of non-BMW extras that the original owner added. Yesterday I finally tracked it all down and priced it all out in Excel, over €1500! FH. About 80% is from Wunderlich, 15% from Tourtech and the rest from others. Some of the item I just wouldn't buy but are nice. A few of them I'm going to remove and get more useful/suitable add-ons. For example, the installed "Rear Hugger Extreme" is nice but a Mud Slinger style protector will do better for me and that you happened to highlight it, is a plus.

@justthewayitis Год назад

Hi D.A, sounds like you found a good one with lots of extras included. Wunderlich do have a lot of nice accessories so you have been lucky. Enjoy your time with your new GSA. Best wishes Carl

Hi Jacek, you would think that would be the case… but actually the headlight does not really get dirty behind the cover. I think in the two years I’ve been using the headlight cover I’ve only removed it twice ! Carl 👍

@jacekboda649 10 дней назад

I'm sore, I have one more question. To remove the cover, you need to unscrew the screws fixing the protective glass or those attaching the glass to the motorcycle? I see that the connection consists of two parts entering one into the other.

@justthewayitis 10 дней назад

Yes, all the parts you need come in the kit from WRS, you can find more information on there website. To remove the protector for cleaning i just loosen the 4 screws and remove the protector.

@justthewayitis Год назад

Good morning KC, welcome to the channel, I’m only 6 foot your a fair bit taller so I don’t know if my input is going help so maybe some of the other taller subscribers can jump in and offer some extra advice. But I did install bar risers which really do help open the cockpit a little. As for screens you may need to experiment a little you might find that at your height your head is up and above the noise and buffering. The GSA has taller suspension which will probably suit you, seat wise again you might be able to try the different height options at your dealership they are generally very helpful. Sorry I can’t be more helpful in this area. Let me know how you get on Best wishes Carl

@AYAlexander Год назад

Hi Carl, what was your experience with the copy of the MRA X-creen you fitted? Did it work for you? And after some touring, what did you think of the quality of the screen and brackets? Do you still have it on your GS or have you now replaced it with the original MRA X-creen (or maybe one by Puig)?

@justthewayitis Год назад

Hi Alexander, it actually works brilliant and has fixed most of the noise issues I had. I probably should fit the Xscreen original but it does seem to be holding up really well for 20 something euros. This is another item I would recommend if your a taller rider. It does take time to set correctly so be patient with it. Carl

@AYAlexander 7 месяцев назад

@@justthewayitis Are you still using the replica of the MRA X-creen or changed to a different model/brand? I'm still not sure which spoiler screen to go for, partly because of dimensions and method of attachment. I am considering these: Wunderlich Vario Ergo 3D+, Puig Clip-on screen visor 6320W or 6375W or MRA X-creen touring or sport. What are your thought on this?

@justthewayitis 7 месяцев назад

Hi Alexander, yes I still use the copy Mra Xscreen it has worked very well the only thing I will do in spring is add some support to the main screen, either Puig or Cymark. It's very difficult to offer suggestions on the products you list, because you might like different things to me, for example my No 1 issue is Noise, for someone else it might be turbulence or buffering. But all of the items you mentioned are supposed to be very good. But, lots of us use the Mra Xscreen 🙏

@igorkolaric7690 Год назад

Carl hello, I am the owner of my third gs, now I have the latest version 1250. Question, when driving slowly, the steering behaves like a digital example, there is a steering stabilizer below, which is too stiff and prevents clean driving at low speed. They said at the service that there is no way to set the hardness, that everything is programmed. It bothers me and I ask you if you can give your opinion. I follow all your episodes and congratulations. lp Igor Kolarič Slovenia

@justthewayitis Год назад

Hello Igor, good morning Touratech make a very good steering damper that has 24 levels of adjustment this is probably what you might want to try if you want more feel from the steering at slow speeds.

Hello Carl, I have watched much of your content regarding the R1250 GS. The detail and information in the content is exceptional and the work put into the videos are appreciated. I have tried to determine which tank bag you are using, but cannot find it in any videos (yet).... Would you kindly share the details for that? Thank you. As an aside, i have added the Air-flo seat covers which make a huge difference in comfort for hot weather and rain. My opinion only. Thank you for all you are doing.

@justthewayitis Год назад

Hello Kathryn and welcome to the channel. The tank bag is an older model from SW Motech called the Evo Engage, I decided on this because of is small compact size and its ability to attach a Map pocket (again from SW) to the top which is a must have for me on tour. I have used it all year round for approx 4 years and it still looks almost new. Their is a new version called the Engage 2.0 but I'm not sure if it allows map pocket mounting like the original one. Have fun choosing. BTW they do also have a GS specific version which looks great but for me it's just a little bit big. Kindest regards Carl

@justthewayitis Год назад

Thank you for the Air-flow seat recommendation, I will have a look, although we do not really have very hot weather here in Germany.

@maxkunzke8995 2 года назад

Hi Carl. Love the video, thank you for sharing it, I always learn something new. I have a question about the headlight protector, since I would like to install one too. Are headlight protectors street legal in Germany? Or perhaps street legal, as long as you do not ride at night? My understanding is that they are not, because they alter the light projection. But this is why they might not be legal for night riding. Thanks and safe riding. Enjoy your tour.

@justthewayitis 2 года назад

Hi Max, currently I'm away from home with not much internet access so I cant easily check for you. I THINK they are ok here in Germany because the BMW dealer also sells a version... which i presume would not happen if the protection was not allowed. When I get back I will ask or find out for you. Carl

@gtcristi 2 года назад

Hallo Max, wenn die Teile kein ABE haben, dürfen auch nicht verbaut werden, wenn die Maschine auf die Straße bewegt wird. In Gelände geht alles. Ich habe für mich extra gefragt. Die Erklärung ist ganz simple. In meinem Fall habe ich Kurvenlicht und die Plexischeibe könnte die entgegenkommenden Autos stören/blenden, weil diese Scheibe das Licht umlenken könnte. Auch ohne Kurvenlicht ist es nicht erlaubt. Wenn du aber doch noch es machen möchtest, bau so ein Teil ein, der sich nach unterklappen lässt. 2 Vorteile: 1. wenn die Polizei dich anhält, kannst du das Teil nach unten klappen und alle sollen danach zufrieden sein 2. du kommst besser dran, das Ganze zu reinigen.

@justthewayitis Год назад

Hi Miguel, this is a common problem owners report and several people here have also commented on, here on the comments section. First change the suspension setting from Dynamic back to road... and test your bike again. If the vibration is reduced it may indicate that the spines on the drive shaft need to be re-greaed by BMW at the first service. Second a lot of owners report that the vibration is reduced when they change the tyres from A41 which you have... to something more sports touring like the Continental All Road or the Pirelli Scorpion trail 2. Do the first test above and let me know. Carl

13:13 Headlight Protector - It looks good. I'm also looking for something like this. Unfortunately, not everything is allowed in Germany. In my case, I have cornering lights and the plexiglass could disturb the oncoming cars because this glass could deflect the light. In addition, if it is fixed, it can be difficult to clean. In Germany, the accessories must have an "ABE"-No. (if the machine is moved onto the street) otherwise, the police can go so far as to confiscate the motorcycle. But if you drive the motorcycle off-road, you can build almost everything on it without any problems. Great video! Greetings from Cologne.

3 different types of side stand. The one on the left belongs to the standard GS. The one on the center is for the GSA, correct. And the one at the right hand side belongs to the low chassis version of GS. That's all.

@justthewayitis 2 года назад

Hi Nacho, I don't know which is right, so thankyou for letting the other subscribers know which belongs to which GS. Best wishes Carl

Carl - you can sort the rear axle cover with a 48mm hub cover from Amazon. Shiny black/slots in weighs nothing…£11 for 4.

@justthewayitis 2 года назад

Hi Mark, now that's a great idea... I'll go have a look right now. Thankyou 👍

@markwilliamson8933 2 года назад

They’re actually 48mm - X Autohaus. Worth trying

Radiator protectors?

@justthewayitis 28 дней назад

Hi, the Ralley version of the GS ( which I have in the videos) comes with acceptable plastic radiator guards, I did order a set of R&G guards but decided the OEM ones were from my perspective fine, so I returned the R&G ones. If your GS/A doesn’t currently have radiator guards I would definitely fit some for protection. Carl

First let me tell you I really appreciate your technical informative videos. I don’t get the point in spending 25,000 euros (more or less) on a new bike and then trying desperately to save a few hundred buying Chinese accessories, aesthetically and functionally debatable in my opinion. But that’s your choice, and it’s perfectly fine to equip your bike the way you prefer.

@justthewayitis Год назад

Hi Sergio, good morning and welcome to the channel. The point is that not everyone can afford a new bike, many subscribers have much older bikes, so it was and is important to me that I cover all options, hence I decided to make a couple of episodes about installing cheaper accessories. Those of us that can afford a new bike are very lucky, lots of people cannot afford them as they really are to expensive....best wishes Carl

@AYAlexander Год назад

I found it on Amazon: € 65,99 by QJY-Motor Part-Store as Carl mentions in his reply to a similar question. It does not mention whether it fits on a 2021 and 2022 GS/A but obviously it does if Carl fitted this one.

@AYAlexander Год назад

As Carl mentioned you can find different brands and types on the market. I found predominantly 2 types of replicas: one with a screw like Carl (original by Wunderlich for € 189) and one with tie wraps (original Mudsling by MachineArt(Moto), also on the Wunderlich website for € 169).

@AYAlexander Год назад

Still, € 65 is a lot of money for a piece of replicated plastic. The same product - at least I think it’s the same - can be found for much less. I found several replicas of the 2 above mentioned types on the Dutch and German Amazon and on AliExpress.

There is an absolute ban on off-roading in Norway. The fine for doing it is easily 1000 euros. Stay on gravel roads, you will find lots of those, but don’t do any off-roading.

Hi Great article on the GS te ,I agree with everything you have said and done ,having had four v twin Multistada, two v4 Multistada and two 1250 gs .l have had my latest Multistada a Pikes Peak for a year now and a month ago I tested a new GS 1250 te identical to yours so bought it ,I could not bear to let my Ducati go so kept it as well .I have fitted almost all the extras as you, some from the same source as you have .The only downside is I am 76 and have to keep working 40 /50 hours a week to keep the bikes ,and my kids have no inheritance. Well done get article.
