Install: SW-MOTECH Folding Gear Shift Lever - R1200GS 

Adam, Your videos have been concise and a great resource for me. I too am a big guy, 6'5", and most of your additions are identical to things I have done or turn up when I do a RU-vid search regarding something I have purchased and am about to install on one of my bikes. One of your R1200GS videos led me to purchase the upgraded signal bulbs as described from the same vendor and although they seem pricey they do the trick. I happen to also own an Omega rally prepared 701 husky which you have pretty much been installing the same kit to yours that mine came with. I can tell you with confidence that you will come to love the Husky. In my opinion, between these two bikes I have a dream garage. Something for moderate off-roading big trips in the GS, which I can thrash if needed, and the 701 Husky for the tougher more demanding off piste style trips. I just ordered a Hammerhead folding shifter (size 14) for the GS and haven't looked at the bike yet to see what I am in for. Watching your SW Motek video answered my questions. Just wanted to pass along a nod of appreciation. Have to get back to work! THX man.

I’ve been to SW Motech’s factory in Rauschenberg when I picked up my Trax Adventure System (which is fantastic). They make a lot of great gear. Hope this solves the issue.

Adam If you like to stand while you ride ? I would recommend to adjust the lever a little bit up It works perfect on my bike I also have the forma boots 👍

Highly recommend a side stand sensor guard. I’ve seen those get hit with a rock or even your boot and get damaged so the bike won’t start. I think Touratech makes one relatively cheap.

Nice video. What is the length from centr of mounting hole and alum switch foot in its longest position?

These guys should make a heel shifter. I got a custom one done for my Harley. Will see for options for the BMW. I can't shift this way because I wear boots with steel toe so the boot doesn't fit.

The shifter is way too low for off-road riding. It should be as hight as the foot pegs if not higher. The problem is that the screw is to long to move up the shifter high enough. This happens with the standard shifter also.

Nice bit of kit that Adam... Those Hobbit feet though lol

ii have a gear shifter with my Bmw GS F850, how would I replace?

Does anything like this exist for Enduros? I have the same problem on my CRF250L: OEM shifter is too tight and I even ride in the same boots lol. If I can’t find an aftermarket I might just take the OEM, chop it with an angle grinder and bolt in a home made extension

Do I have to wear a deer trousers? Great video, thanks, helped a lot

Hi Adam,Are you happy with the new shifter after using it for a while.I have one size bigger feet and have similar issues when shifting.

I bought the same boots and I have the same problem now. My foot is 10.5.

What do you think of the R1250GS?

Discontinued product 😟

Stop making these stupid videos that make me want gear for my bike.. I need a new shifter now.. 200 bucks.. yikes..
