My BMW R nineT Urban GS gets customized with a visual and practical update as it gets touring modifications before my big summer motorcycle trip. Whereabouts will I go and what mods? Watch the video to learn. I'm also going to give you some channel update.

On the British countryside you always find some nice spots to take a good photo😉. BMW looks awesome. Have a great trip!

@adamnunn9723 Год назад

Bike looks superb! Great job on the pannier rack mods… those tyres are absolutely smashing too (got them on my Tiger 1200 and they are brilliant!)… really looking forward to the ‘Polish tightwads on Tour’ series 👍🏼👍🏼😜😜

We will try to do our best to disappoint you 😂🍺

A nice bike and job

@drewdaism_ Год назад

Safe travels Uncle. I look forward to seeing the videos. Always wanted to do Italy further south of the Alps 👍 I admrire your ability to build your own pannier racks aswell. Very jealous!

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

You just take a piece of metal and bend it 😜 Cheers mate

Good job with the bike, it does look well

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

Thanks buddy

@kheimseter71 Год назад

Very good looking bike! 👍 Looking forward to watch videos from your trip. A tips: try Norway on next trip. Lots of fabulous MC roads 😉 Perfect for your bike. Drive safe! Have a nice journey.

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

I know, Norway is on my list for sure, but as I live in a rainy country with not much of a sunshine, I always tend to go south instead ;)

@neilwilliams9844 Год назад

Beauty of a bike pal. Just pure quality

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

Thanks mate

@Grumpy-Goblin Год назад

The seat looks much better than standard, sounds like an exciting trip.

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

the standard should be called a skateboard not a seat ;)

@nelnelson2945 Год назад

He done a great job on seat, and you done good job also on rack, hope to see you before you go.

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

Yea, hopefully the weather over the weekend won't be as bad as current forecast

@richardfews2113 Год назад

Hope the budget still allows for beers !...have a great trip.And yes that saddle looks the business.Richard

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

Beers... but of course ;) I just won't add it to the calculations ;) Jokes aside - I will try to limit pubs though in favour of buying bottles in supermarkets ;)

@richardfews2113 Год назад

@johntunney569 Год назад

Good luck with the trip. I’ve never gone further south than the French Alps on a bike. Definitely want to get into Italy sometime -when it’s not peak summer heat though! I’m not mechanically handy like you so my RT 1250 LE is the perfect tourer for me - it comes with everything you need - I have panniers and a top box too. Done 10,000 miles in Europe Scotland and Ireland so far. I know it looks too dull a bike for you but at least it’s not one of the GS multitude! And the big electric screen is brilliant when you sometimes have to hit the higher motorway speeds to get places.

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

I got your point but motorways are boring no matter what ;)

@piotrwozniak123 Год назад

It's good that you've changed a wooden plank for the proper seat.

@niedzwiedz667 Год назад

Wow almost like bmw gs1200 adventure ;)

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

except it still looks like a motorcycle ;)

@exeterrider Год назад

That's going to be an amazing trip. How are you going to keep the footage? Lots of memory cards or hard rive to carry around? The new seat is a blessing, it looks good.

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

Hopefully I will manage with my current number of SD cards. I limit continuous recording though - I try only to record like a 30s of interesting areas. And yes, I really hope for that seat to do it's job ;)

@droptuned83 20 дней назад

Nice bike , great tyres and your mods are really good. How do you like this bike and what model is it I really like it!

@UncleLongbeard 20 дней назад

It is BMW Urban GS 2017. I really like it to be honest

@simonchilli2088 Год назад

Very impressive you fabricated your own pannier rack. Is there a rev counter on the dials? Lastly I liked the distorted version of Wipeout originally by the Surfaris.

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

No rev counter, you need two dial version or connect LCD display

@user-yy9zl1oi8u 8 месяцев назад

👍

@directorstu Год назад

Id be interested in a video on how you made the rack

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

I only filmed in the middle of the process of making it. The video is in the channel somewhere

@danielstorms4919 10 месяцев назад

Do y u have the dimensions for the side pannier racks and how you added the Givi Monokey parts to the rack?

@UncleLongbeard 10 месяцев назад

First I bought the panniers and measured it, then I bought Givi monokey spare parts and made the rack with the right dimensions.

@cjd11ka 3 месяца назад

did you manage to wire up the lights? were did you find the live switch wire to connect to without cut into the main wiring lume I am to fit similar lights but can not locate a live switch

@UncleLongbeard 3 месяца назад

I bought it with those lights, so I don't know where it's connected, sorry

@danielcordes 3 месяца назад

What seat is that? Looks much better

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

Made by my friend in Coventry

@robsonenduro3316 4 месяца назад

is these crash bars by hepco & beckers? and seat?

@UncleLongbeard 4 месяца назад

Bars are from Aliexpress, £80 ish but I guess they are more or less the same as other branded crashbars on the market. Not that well made though as the fittings are a bit fiddly. The seat is made by local upholsterer

@Motobikereviews Год назад

Have you changed the seat

@UncleLongbeard Год назад

yep

@Motobikereviews Год назад

I want one, I have a 23 scrambler the seat and suspension are terrible

@I_am_Thursday Год назад

Although I prefer the look of the scrambler I think that the urban is a better option due to the low exhaust for luggage. I'm trying my best to get on with 'touring' bikes but tbh screens just tend to annoy me ( I have 3 naked bikes! ) and although my Tracer 7 is perfect for my UK touring - B road and smaller - the noise and buffeting does annoy unless I'm going too fast to think about it. Looking at a 'naked' tourer I think it's the RnineT. The Desert Sled too much servicing, Triumph too unreliable and shabbily built, Z900rs meh, XSR brilliant but too uncomfortable. I will say that I did find the RnineT scrambler slow to turn, I mean it did have the ridiculous Karoos on at that time, but I actually think it would benefit from removing the steering damper, what do you think? Plus BMW douse outrageously long wheelbases for stability 😀

@UncleLongbeard 11 месяцев назад

It is in fact a bit long so it handles better at faster speed rather than slow. I like it for touring though
