Rogue Machine passenger foot pegs install on R1250GS
Purchased these replacement passenger pegs from Rogue Machine for my R1250GS. Made in West Virginia, these are an awesome product and the only American made passenger pegs that I’m aware of! I only had one cup of coffee before filming, so go east in the comments.

Seriously, what is that razor? How can I find one?
That Klein screwdriver is a 6 in 1, incase you didnt know.
Klein Tools 32476 5-In-1 Multi-Bit Screwdriver / Nut Driver with 2 Slotted, 2 Philips, and 1 Nut Driver Tip.
@@line4expeditions751 should be a 1/4 nut driver and a 5/16 nut driver Unless they are both 5/16.
Plus you said 4 in 1 in the video
Good morning from the Great State of Texas. Today I found your video. I also have a Toyoto 4 Runner. What is the purpose of the chisel? I do carry a couple more screwdrivers. Are your wrenches the ratchet wrench type? I do not carry the 1/2 socket sets. I do carry a swivel 3/8 ratchet and a 3/8 inch breaker bar. Have good day and be safe.
What’s that razor brand?
Sick. I get why you might not but, you should post more of your truck. Thing is very clean.
bro i saw your 2nd gen on another video and its perfect, PERFECT
Thanks!
Try olfa blades. The "k" in knipex is pronounced.
I agree with everything in your tool roll except your socket sets. I keep my socket set and ratchets wrenches in a separate hard shell carrying case designed for them. It's much faster to locate a specific socket then replace it where it belongs. I also noticed you only had a ratcheting style crew driver with bits. I also carry one of those but I also carry an assortment of screw drivers from flatheads, to Phillips to Torx. Nice kit though.
Socket cases in this application took more space than I was willing to give up. Sockets in the shop are organized for speed, tools in this application are packed with space savings in mind.
Wtf is up with that music?
Nice setup. If I could recommend one thing, upgrade to a premium 3/8 drive flex head ratchet. Its the heart of your drive tools and not the place to go cheap.
shame its discontinued
I bought one from them 2 months ago, it is alive and well
I wish there was one half that size to allow less weight per bag.
Do you know if this would fit in a borealis north face backpack?
ALLAHUAKBAR
Excellent video and comments!
Is this the bag that I see on the Blue Ridge website for $165? That's a bit steep for me. I was hoping to put together a whole kit for that cost.
I think it’s important to start with what you can afford. I arrived at this bag after using a variety of Klein and Carhart products. I’d be interested to see what you come up with on that budget, so keep us posted! It took a few years of tweaking to get it here and it’s changed since this filming. The bag is bombproof and has lasted. Hope this helps.
It all works Nav 6, TFT, phone etc. watch and follow this very closely ua-cam.com/video/LzPoILCj-aU/v-deo.html
My R1250GS Triple Black is my 6th BMW. Great bike! But it makes very strange noise from the front starting at 45kmh (sorry not mph) up to 100. Are you having the same experience?
What kinds of noise?
Any plans on new EDC or bag loadout videos? Would be really nice.
what kind of repairs can you do on the "trail"? Don't you need to have spare parts to do repairs? Also it's worth mentioning that if you want to have a superior folding knife, then one option would be the cold steel instead of the Bitchmade.
Where are your pajamas ?
Too heavy to carry around everyday. But good tools
Hi we’re can I buy a tool bag like this
Curious as to why you didn’t go with a lower suspension model? Thanks for the review and ride safely!
Wanted the extra suspension for suspension sake. I rode a low model at the BMW Rider academy and while I liked it, I felt I could learn to ride the full height one. So far only time I dislike the higher seat is riding with the wife.
any regret not going gsa instead of gs?
I have enjoyed watching your 1250GS videos...hopefully you will post some more again soon...I subscribed so I won't miss any...Thank You!
Great review...just back into biking and bought a 2022 Tiger 850 Sport... looking to move to the 1250 GS at some point for touring.... thanks again for the honest review.
Tiger is a good looking bike! Really appreciate the feedback.
I own its 750 GS sibling and my next is going to be this big brother.
My first GS was the 700, you’ll be amazed how easy the 1250 is to ride!!!
Great tube! Could I ask you to please share what other bikes you have owned? This helps me understand your review better?
Previous bikes include; Harley 1200xl sportster, BMW GS 700, Honda CRF 230, Ducati 916 Monster, BMW R1250R and now the 1250GS. As far as riding other BMW models, I’ve been lucky enough to demo 850GS, RnineT, 1250RT, and the S1000XR at their Riding Academy. Hope this helps provide some background!
Good honest review. Also have a 21 triple in the garage, looks like you have a standard seat, we went with a low seat (available w/ heat) helped substantially.
That’s what I was striving for! Haven’t seen the low seat in person, but I’ll look into it.
Very well thought out video. I agree with most of your points and definitely agree that it is the best bike I have ever owned. I am kind of addicted to it at this point. BTW I just installed the SW Motech risers and I love them. Make sure you adjust the bars so you can see out the mirrors BEFORE you ride it!!
I have the exact same bike .... 2 things I don't like. The front end noise... not sure if it is tire noise or air noise. The Vario Top box has as simple design mistake. Turn the key to unlock it, and you cannot lift the handle to open it without taking the key out !!! What .....
The more impatient(faster) I get on my freeway commute, the more I agree with the wind noise. The vario case is slowly becoming a disappointment… I love the top case concept, but think an aluminum one would be better.
Get yourself a mic and you will improve the quality of your videos.
I can’t seem to find that bag on their site. Got a link?
Nice bike 👍🏼 I can’t decide ktm 1290s or the GS that you have. Thx for the vid
Only reason I am not buying 1190 is mpg. Bmw valve adjustment is super easy . Best is harley it doesn't require any adjusents
The KTM has a slight edge when it comes to off-road. In everywhere else the GS is better. It's the king of the road.
If you’re coming from a strong dirt bike background, maybe go KTM. I’m bias, but this BMW is a great bike!
@@line4expeditions751 Thx. I bought a GS I’ve had more than a few KTM’s. Wanted to try the GS. I’m more than surprised. Very nice bike
Thanks for the video. I am unable to decide between the GS and the GSA. Could you share what drove your decision to go with this over the 1250 GSA? Thanks!
Why do you want to take fuel out for a ride with the GSA? Lots of easy ways to carry extra fuel if you need it. Many people I ride with that have the GSA will not buy another one. The GS has a large enough tank for most all trips, and besides, if you ride with others chances are they will need to stop for fuel before you will. Note that the GS will go easily 45 kms when tank gauge says empty. Hope this is helpful. Cheers
did you ever think of watching your video before you posted it,if you did you would have heard very little like we all did.
Watched it on the laptop and phone, can you be more specific?
Worked for me
The sound is a bit poor, Mark is right. Thanks for your time all the same.
Love the bike! I’m considering the same bike but factory lowered. I want it bad! Do you have any regrets?
Best bike I’ve owned. Had the various Harley, Ducati, Japanese bikes and other BMWs. This is the best all round bike.
Great looking bike! I just put a deposit on a triple black myself!!
Great Loadout and great review ... You might want to think about keeping your headlamp on the inside as if the pack gets crushed .... you might damage it ! ... It happened to me !
Just bought a 2022 Triple Black 1250 GS, really appreciate your review and impressed with the number of miles you've been able to rack up in just a couple months. Great review !
Thank you so much, and congrats on the new bike!
Need link or name for that luggage case looks good I have the same exact bike love it
Great Bike! Have been driving bikes for a lot of years now, and have "landed" on a BMW 2021 GSA. That is my fourth BMW(2018 1200 GS, 2019 1250 GS, 2020 1250 GSA, and the last one 2021 1250 GSA) and i,m VERY satisfied. In 2017 i had a KTM 1290, and in the beginning of 2018 i bought a Triumph Tiger1200. Both great bikes, but in my opinion, the BMW is a step "up", and clearly the most versatile of them. Not as fast as the KTM, and not as comfy as the tiger on the highways, but in "all" a better bike for variable use. A heavy bike, but i feel that the weight is placed low, so it feels very easy to handle. The swing radius is also impeccable. I,m retired(firefighter), and i,m using my BMW daily. Bought it in July 2021, and have been driving 6700 km so far. My longest trip with it was 680 km in one day, and that was a plasure ride from the start to the end. I coose the Michelin Adventure tyres, and are very happy with them. We have a lot of gravel roads in the mountains i Norway. I,m 195 cm tall, and for my size the GSA suits perfect. I have no plans for replacing it for the next years. Congratulations with a reasonable choise : )) Greetings from cold Norway
Thank you! Can’t wait to visit your Country at some point!
That’s a lot of bikes. One bike each year.
I’m curious why you went with the regular height bike. I’m slightly taller than you (5’9”) and I went with the lowered suspension version with a low seat. I can flatfoot the bike and have not noticed any downsides. The low seat is probably not quite as comfortable as the regular seat, but it is narrower in the front so it’s easier to flatfoot. I would not feel comfortable on a bike this size on my tippy toes, particularly with a passenger.
I did the BMW Academy with a lowered bike and wanted a little more ground clearance. I don’t enjoy being stopped for long periods of time with the wife and a full top case, but it’s not bad by myself.
You should at least consider getting a low seat. I would gladly trade off the comfort to avoid an embarrassing tip over with my wife! That would not go over well :-)
Suspension travel is reduced with the low suspension. There are 5’4”-5-6” women riding regular suspension.
I have the same model and have no issues with footpegs at all. What I have issue with is the unbelievable front tire noise. I am just wondering why people are not mentioning this in their reviews? Furthermore, I cannot agree with you about the cost of accessories...like luggage... buy GIVI... the price is always the same, or lone rider same price as well no matter the bike is. having connected TFT display and BMW navigator at the same time? Why you would do that? BMW navigator allows you to make phones, listen to music, use Spotify and most important to navigate. TFT on the other hand does not allow anything besides listening music from your phone - you have to have downloaded songs, or making phone calls. So again, I do not get it why you want to have your intercom connected with TFT...BMW navigator is 100% better option until BMW brings apple car play and android auto. I had Africa Twin 2020 model and car play is the best upgrade possible ever.
To clarify, the issue is with the Passenger pegs. I’d love to discuss the navigator more with you, as it seems you’ve figured it out. I find it tedious at the moment and default back to Google Maps. Additionally, I’m still annoyed by the placement. The fact that it completely blocks the TFT while riding in the standing position seems like something BMW could overcome.
@@line4expeditions751 hey m8. well, on Africa twin the TFT was in front and was at risk in a case of fall. I like the BMW TFT to be so down and behind as its very safe. and yes everything has advantages and disadvantages. However, I cannot imagine looking at tft when standing in difficult technical off-road. Re the footpegs - yes I was talking about passengers pegs as well. re the navigator - I have a dual channel communicator, but I don't use it with the tft at all, as it makes no sense to me. As I wrote above, TFT is shit for connectivity and the only thing it can do is calls and that can be done by navigator much better.
Nice video! Regarding your issue on getting on the bike - I rented a 1250 GS for a weekend to make sure I liked it (I did) and that my wife liked it too (she did) before I committed to work towards buying one (still working on it but hopefully *very* soon). She's also shorter than me (I'm 5'10, she's 5'6ish) and what I did was have her mount the bike in the drivers seat and slide back onto the passenger seat. She was able to use the bars and the brake as a stabilizing point and found it to be much easier than the "traditional" way of getting on. Also, don't don't have her swing her leg over. Left foot on the peg, pick up the leg and "step" over the seat and then sit. The guy I rented from suggested this method and it was ***WAY*** easier for both of us to get on and off the bike.
Love this comment and thank you for taking the time to type this! We previously attempted a variation of this in the comfort of our shop and found it partially worked. I’ll revisit it with her and see. Might be fun to do a video of us mounting and dismounting the GS to discuss variations…..
loved the video man. keep them coming
Beautiful bike. It’s the gold standard. Everybody tries but just don’t quite quite match the ethos of this bike. Ducati’s Multistrada V4s is really just a street hooligan in adventure clothing. For me lacks the “fit and finish” and pannier size and robustness of the BMW. Too plasticky.
Just sold my left kidney and brought a Gs do you think its worth selling my right kidney and buying the gamin gps or just continue use my mobile phone for navigation
Phone! This navigator isn’t worth the price.
@@line4expeditions751 yeah that's what I am hearing from a few other riders.
The NAV 6 is useless. Very slow to enter addresses and cannot find places like Google Maps. I wish I hadn't wasted my money. Buy a RAM mount and a water proof case for your phone !
I like the Garmin. It works in the absence of a cell signal.
Great tips and review. Where did you find sockets with a carrier like that?
Lowe’s if I recall correctly
