Ive just launched a second channel for dedicated Raw sound rides only with a little chilled ambient music. No talking, no story, just chilled rides to relax and unwind to- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1NrfbvB95vw.html
Wow thankyou very much! I'm a total novice so that really means a lot! I still need to adapt it to lower it into a more discrete position, and I was thinking of a custom mould where the fittings are instead of just the bolts and washers. What bike are you riding? 👊🏼
Thanks Ritchie for this video! The device and the rear camera are in already in place on my K1300s HP. I needed to get an idea where to place the front camera. Now I know and will try it as well. 👍
No Problem! Sorry it took so long! I do think its the best solution as theres nowhere else really to put it. How are you getting on with the display position? Where did you put all the wires coming out of it?
@@RTPOV Re: Fwd cam... "... I do think its the best solution as theres nowhere else really to put it. ..." How much effect does it have on the airflow into the oil cooler?
Yeah, there's only room for my cap above the clocks on my K1200S. As the original owner installed a center RAM ball, that's where I'd put one, if I get it. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou! I do like the 1200s! Nearly got one myself! What colours is yours? Seen some nice ones! The wheels are nice too! Its Very similar but subtly different to the 1300
Hey! Many thanks! ok will do! One of the things that motivated me to start this series was the lack of videos around the bike. It's such an understated bike and under the radar for most riders. I'm just working on a multi mic setup so I can get a nice sound from the exhaust! Do you ride a big K also?
I am picking one up in California in August and touring the Eastern Sierras and Gold Rush country before shipping it home to the East Coast (US). Can’t wait! A little worried about the comfort of the riding position for long distance touring, so may order the peg lowering kit from Verholen.
@@rajitdosanjh1533 You might be ok! I'm 6ft 3".. long legs also. Ive been ok on it. At 1st I felt a little cramped, but I feel like Ive adjusted to it now. Was convinced I needed lower pegs and heli bars to make it more comfortable. I might still install them, but right now theres no issues. Longest I went on it is only 2.5 hrs though.
Really like what you’ve done here. I’ve got the quad lock set up on the 12s and it does the job but doesn’t look good. I’ve been looking at chigee to see the reviews and it’s a bit of an outlay but you’ve made it look good. Great bike too… I’ll stick with my 12 for now until an affordable motorsport comes up. 🤪
Hey! Thank you very much! Love the 12s also! I was tempted by the Motorsports, but fell in love with it in black and this one came up at a decent price at the right time! Yes the outlay for chigee is something to consider. Have you tried running the discount code? 20% is a decent chunk off the total. I also ordered the controller but I don't think it's needed as the screen is super responsive so just ordering the main system is all you really need.
Excellent video! Great to see it installed on the K13S (I also ride a black edition, which is of course the fastest colour). By the way, does it record video for when the occasional car driver tries to kill us? Useful to send to the Police.
Hi Mark! many thanks for the kind words and taking the time to comment!. yes I can also confirm black is the fastest colour ! 😁What silencer do you have on yours? Also, yes the cameras begin recording as soon as you turn the ignition. Theyl even have a sentry mode which turns them on if the bike is tampered with! Files are stored on an internal memory card and can be viewed /downloaded through the phone app or by removing SD Card in putting on your computer. Hope that helps! I'll do a full real life feature test and user review soon! Ride safe! 👊
Nice!!! Mine came with the stock can. Could afford an akra, so I got a mivv 2nd hand and it sounds naughty! Not too loud and gives nice little grumbles on the roll off
Many thanks! Quite the opposite! I've been riding it through winter! The previous owner did a good job at keeping it clean. Apart from under the fairings... it was quite badly corroded underneath with bad engine peel, and the paintwork was very dull and scratched from bad wash technique. I spent a month stripping and cleaning it all, repainting the engine, de-rusting the bolts and machine polishing the paint etc. I sadly never took any videos of the process because I hadn't started this Chanel yet, but do have lots of pics and can try and edit up the process if you're interested? I did document it on the Eurkclub forum with the great advice from the members there! How are you getting on with yours?
@@RTPOV Wow! Mine is the same as yours was; flaking engine and drive shaft paint and quite dirty under the fairing. The wheels were minging. I thought they were matt black until I got some alloy wheel cleaner on there and saw the lovely gloss paint/powder coat underneath (not sure which). I bought her from a Triumph dealer in Hampshire .....hmmm, disappointing. She had a cracked mirror too which I replaced at my expense. Anyway, all that aside, I love the bloody thing. She makes me grin every time I drag her out!. The sound from that titanium and carbon Akra going through tunnels and letting the revs creep up a little...reminds me of a Lambo being ragged! Makes my neck tingle! On another note (not an exhaust one this time) I was wondering which fitting you got for the yellow wire on the Chigee? I also have a Sat Nav cable connected to the battery with a socket that fits my Tomtom. I noticed some other chaps spliced into the number plate light wire as that is a switched live. I have a 1" RAM mount ball embedded into the BMW badge on the bars at the moment. I have been able to clamp the standard mount included with the Chigee to that so far. I have ordered a RAM mount for the Chigee from them, but they say it won't be available until mid June. If the current plan works out I might cancel that last order.
Apologies.. your comment was held for review for some reason and I'm only just seeing it today! you probably have it sorted, but it was this- www.motorworks.co.uk/wiring-repair-kit-ela13585-1.html How are you getting on with it now? all sorted?
@@RTPOV Hi again, Yes, all sorted. I got the same thing from BMW and it is working great now. I also installed the 1" RAM mount ball so using that now. I installed a neat switch to de-power the Chigee, as when I plugged in the battery charger, the Chigee would fire up. I also bought the tyre pressure sensors. I didn't really need them as the K has these already, but I hated seeing a pair of zeros on the Chigee instead of real tyre pressures!
Excellent idea. So many bikers seem to get rear ended by car drivers looking at their phones or generally being unacquainted with the location of their brake pedal; the footage would be useful for any subsequent insurance claim or police action. Just my thoughts.
Of course! I removed the side and lower fairings. Also the rear, but don't think it's necessary as the rear camera wire fits through a gap there nicely
@@RTPOV Just noticed my parking light bulb has failed and causing a fault to show on the dashboard. I am now wondering if we mounted the front facing camera on the access hatch? I'll see if I can get in there tomorrow.
@@markallen5839 I used a detachable go pro base so that the camera and extension arm can clip on and off. What base did you use? Good point about the access though. I never considered that. Let us know how you get on! What bulbs are you using? Mine is on standard and Im thinking of upgrading
@@RTPOV Hi again. I also used a Gopro base, the same as yours. I also had to file it down. My main bulbs are all LEDs which are awesome. I have just had one fail and had to pop an original high beam bulb back in whilst I await the arrival of a replacement LED. The originals are totally pathetic; candle power! I would defo recommend replacing them. Looking for an LED parking light to complete the ensemble. On another note, I obtained the BMW supplied plug to go into the accessory socket for the Chigee as well. I am finding that when I plug my BMW battery charger into the aux socket (left side of frame), the Chigee fires up again! It was on all last night by the look of things. Didn't you find this on yours?
That's interesting....I've never plugged anything into that socket. I might try and see what happens. I guess your charger is tricking chigee into thinking the ignition is on? Maybe contact them and see
