I wanted more of a cleaner, motocross look for the bike since I don't ride 2-up. I removed the Vario Top Case Carrier with Givi rack as well as the pillion seat, and replaced it with the luggage plate and slimmer grab handle. I also added the SW-Motech Pro Ring to the plate so I can easily mount my bag.
I love the look. It cleans up the rear end. It's about 12-15 lbs lighter now. And I shortened the length of the bike by a few inches.
All BMW OEM part numbers have been shown in the video.

I appreciate that!

Awesome! I bought the same kit to install to my bike, but haven’t done it yet. My wife is pregnant so I thought I could spice the bike up when she don’t join me in the trips ☺️

@MotoPapa88 2 месяца назад

Yep, since I don't ride 2-up, no need for the extra weight. That's why I also removed the passenger pegs and got the exhaust hanger.

@@MotoPapa88 I have the kit for that too but haven’t done anything unnecessary yet 😂🙌🏻

@@MotoPapa88 I dislike the flat radar plate above the headlight. The black colour makes the radar fit much better. Has the black screen an inpackt on the riders view?

Super sleek from the rear, I wonder if touratech luggage racks will play together with these grab handles..from the look of it , the added trim would need to be deleted?!

@MotoPapa88 Месяц назад

Ya, I'm not sure as I've never dealt with Touratech racks.

@roncoleman8351 Месяц назад

When you disconnected the Vario connections, did it generate any fault codes through the Canbus system that had to be cleared with a GS911, assuming you have one?

@MotoPapa88 Месяц назад

Nope. If you don't plan on ever using those Vario cases, just unplug them, wrap the connectors with electrical tape to protect them from elements, and tuck them away. No code errors...
