In Part 1 of this episode, we build the light harness as we prepare to install driving/fog lights on Cody's Aprilia Tuareg 660. After learning that the factory wiring harness alone without the lights was well over three hundred dollars, I decided it would be a good idea to build our own.

Glad it worked pastthe steel belt!
Nice work Asher! Dude you made my day when you crashed and were only concerned that ther might be poo on the ground. 😂
When you say, only two people can talk at a time does that mean only two people can connect at a time or you can connect multiple headsets but only two can talk two at a time?
@@MathewsGuitarWorks up to 6 devices in total can be linked. Only 2 of them can communicate at the same time.
@@MathewsGuitarWorks It works very well for the price. We brought 3. My kids share 1 for when I ride with them, Cody has 1, and I have 1. It's been good for teaching the kids (video of my youngest loosing the training wheels comes out this week), and for Cody and I communicating on rides. I would like a pricier set that can communicate with more people at once, but still don't regret this purchase. I would just say to evaluate whether you think you need to communicate with multiple people at once. If not, this is likely the best bang per buck.
what kinda times you getting on battery life?
@jonhill329 When just using coms, we've had no problem getting 10 hour (or more) rides on a charge so far. Cody uses his for music as well, but I don't know if his has ever died on a ride. I'll ask him to chime in here.
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures interesting, thats pretty decent actually. thanks for the info boss. :)
@@jonhill329 No problem. I'll likely upgrade eventually to get a set that can communicate with several others at the same time, but this set has been great for the price.
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures I have the sena and cardo packtalk, was checking the compatibility with this unit, hint, there is none. lol, but yes, for the price, this little comm unit does very well. last couple of days I used it all day with little issue, and good range and battery life wasn't a problem. Hard to beat it for 20 bucks.
@@jonhill329 Great to know. Thank you for following up with your findings. I'm wondering if their Q series comms are compatible with the name brand units, as they are fairly feature packed at a fraction of the price.
Ultimate grounds for testing these bikes.. with such limited dealership network for parts availability you guys are brave to be this deep in the wild
@@akd052774 Thank you for watching and commenting. I definitely agree that there is some risk. We try to carry enough essential gear to mitigate the risks as much as possible. We'll have to do a video going over the gear we carry.when we go that far into the back country.
This looks relaxing!
@@DadCanFixAnything It definitely was. Thank you for watching!
Any event with family is great
@@Trails07 So true. Especially when outdoors.
Nice video! The scenery looks incredible out there!
@@AstronautAdventureRiders Thank you! There's currently some color issues with my editing software. If that gets resolved, it will give an even better grasp of the scenery. Of course, nothing beats being there.
Great job on that water crossing!
@AndrewWilmotAu Thank you. I think we were pushing the limits on depth, but made it through.
Looks fun
@@MotoMission. Thank you. We definitely had fun.
Hi there, what kind fuel range you guys get when off Roading on those bikes.Thanks, great video by theway.!
@ero7238 Thank you for the support and the question. I usually plan about 200 miles +/- about 50, depending on terain and how spirited I get with the throttle. On this ride, we cut it close and actually received an extra 1.25 gallons per bike from a very generous guy in a side x side on the other side of the mountain. We may or may not have made it all the way out without his donation. It definitely would have been close. Helpful folk is another thing we're not short of here in Wyoming. We'll definitely bring spare fuel the next time.
@ero7238 I should add that altitude plays a key role in calculating range. We likely get about 25%-35% (or less sometimes) than we could get if we rode at sea level. These bikes 'should' be capable of around 300 miles in 'ideal conditions'. Of course, we prefer less than ideal conditions. Lol
What he is trying to tell you on road it's about 250 miles for a tank. Off road we are looking around 150 or so for a tank depending on riding conditions and how we want to ride.
Did anyone else notice that first water crossing at 13:23 looks like it's only 1-2" deep until the bikes go into it and drop almost a foot?
@DadCanFixAnything It was. It looks just as deceiving in person, too. Lol
Thanks for making me feel like I was there with you! Cody actually scared me a couple of times, and that water crossing was insane!
@DadCanFixAnything Thank you for the support and comments. I didn't even know that he got sideways until I edited.
I even scared myself, haha.
@@codebuzz5866 I couldn't tell those hills were that steep, until I watched you sliding down half of them.
That looked like a lot of fun challenges. Nice! ....but what happened to the color in this video?
@DadCanFixAnything Thank you! I'm having software issues. Waiting for an update to fix it. Hope it gets sorted soon.
Accidents waiting to happen

Cool ride ,anytime you come back in one piece its a win . I gotta admire your ambition!

@@AshkanAbedian-qg2ni Interesting perspective. Thank you for the comment!
❤ Best short of the day! ❤
❤ Best comment of the day! ❤
Just watched it again. Did you actually catch air off that rock at 14:53? ❤
@DadCanFixAnything Although a bit big, this bike levitates nicely in the right conditions.
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures 🧞♂️
Just found your channel, I own a Tuareg here in Perth, Western Australia, and also own a company HQ'd in Wyoming (for tax reasons). Have always wanted to visit and take a look around so will watch your videos with interest!
@AndrewWilmotAu Thank you for watching! Wyoming is a great place for anyone to visit. It takes some good resolve to live here and love it though.
That thick black coffee at the end. Don't you know how to make coffee. 😂 Seriously though, sorry to hear about the defeat (I agree that trail looks way too steep for those bikes and factory tires), but I'm excited for the next video!
@@DadCanFixAnything Thank you for the comment. Maybe you can show me how to make coffee. Lol.
It was soooo bad and sooo bitter. Oh god. Never again
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures I'll show you guys how to make coffee sometime as long as Cody let's me drift his bike. 😀
@DadCanFixAnything I can't reply for Cody, but I think it's a good idea.. 😅
@@codebuzz5866 What do you think??
The stock tires need to go, completely different bike with proper tires!
@@BroadwayT660 Thank you for watching and commenting! I couldn't agree more. Do you have suggestions? Cody already bought a set. He's going with Motoz, with the RallZ on back. I've thought about the Scorpion Rally (the real rally tire, not the OEM STR version), but I'm still undecided and considering something that will still retain reasonable life and road manners. However, I have been impressed with what the bikes have been capable of with amateurs like us on OEM tires.
I'm honestly surprised that they made it that far on stock tires. Impressive and entertaining.
@DadCanFixAnything just wait the next video you will be even more surprised with the riding that is coming up.
I went off road because you suddenly slowed down and I didn't see you till it was a bit to late!
@@codebuzz5866 It looked like you were going to pass. You must have been distracted by those picture-perfect Wyoming views. 🏞
Just enough comments and great info. Thanks for taking us along.
@@craigalberts7376 Thank you for watching! Part 2 will release tomorrow.
🤠 Beautiful area and looks like some great back-country touring! The intro really has me wanting to see the next episode.
@DadCanFixAnything there are going to be a couple more episodes from this ride and it definitely gets more exciting.
There are enduro pants that go over the boots, I use them for sand, brush, and critters, but they will keep water at bay as well.
@TheWhippetmaster the sad thing is that I had a pair of pullover pants in my bag and I just wasn't smart (or motivated) enough to pull them out and put them on before doing the water crossing. Fortunately, I was wearing wool socks and brought a couple extra pairs.
Color seems alright so far, wind in audio could do with an edit, not sure if you have a wind sock already
Pretty good blur about 10 mins in though
@@devonolsen1331 water on lens, it slowly improved as is dried. Lol
put your phone in your rear box , you do not need it
@@thelonewolf666 Part of the reason I don't have a mount on my bike.
Not sure what happened to the color in this video. Something went amiss during the formatting after editing.
Looks like it lost saturation. Sadly, I couldn't tell you how to fix it.
Damn, that's definitely a deep crossing! ...It was all the way to the headlight.
Ya, it took days for my boots to dry out. 😂
Great looking duo 🏍🏍 I want one 😎🍻
Thank you for the comment. We are really enjoying them! Just came back from another multi day ride and hope it doesn't take forever to edit video. :)
What brand of lights are you using and where did you purhcase? I have a t660 also. Have you experienced the blinking fuel gauge dash indicator issue on your bikes? I have had the part on order for 60+ days and had my local dealer order the part for me after filming it so they could order the part and open the warranty ticket with Aprila, so if it's not in before my warranty expires in Octobe,r it will still be covered. Telling you this just as an FYI for you and other owners. The sender unit is actually made by KTM.
Great information to watch for. Thank you for sharing! We haven't had any real issues with our bikes (yet). Is yours a 2022 model? Our lights were bought from some random Chinese seller on Alibaba (was on a tight budget when we bought them), but I'll try to find and share a link in the description to some that I think are the same. Ours measured around 4 Ohms each if I remember correctly.
Thank you for your reply. Yes, my bike?is a 2022. There is a factory service bulletin from Apilia about the sender unit and an updated replacement part for that was originally installed.
@@richardsieben815 Thank you for the information! Both of ours are 2023 models. Hopefully, they worked the bugs out the first year. If not, I'm sure will find them eventually too.
I'd also love to see a review of whatever smartphone mount you have. I'd imagine that'd have to be pretty good for Wyoming off-roading.
Good suggestion! We both have tablet mounts for GPS maps. We made an install video, but not a review. We like `em. Cody has a smart phone mount, but I dont yet. We'll try to get a review on his soon. We have a crazy ride planned this weekend, so maybe we'll record that to if I remember.
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures - Thanks bud, ride safe please.
@@camberweller That phone mount video is posted.
Do you find the buttons too small?
Not really, but only because I don't really use the buttons when riding. They are definitely too small to use with gloves IMHO. But, once connected, there's no reason to mess with buttons. It answers calls automatically on second ring and goes back to comms after the call.
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures - Thank you!
@@camberweller glad to help!
Great review. Thank you.
Glad to be helpful. Thank you for watching.
Nice videos guys! Appreciate the detail, will be very helpful when I eventually do mine.
Thank you! I'm definitely not a professional videographer, but like to be helpful and love to ride. Part 2 (relay harness) should be up this week and Part 3 (mount/install) shortly after that.
❤ Nice! ❤ How much 💰 did this project cost all together?
I had some supplies on hand, but even had we bought everything, I believe we would have easily completed both bikes for less than $100. I think our actual expenses were less than $40 each. Sure beats paying well over $300 for OEM or other options.
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures For sure! I looked it up and if I'm not mistaken, it looked like it was over $300 just for the OEM harness, ...and around $300 more for the lights, so over $600!?
Thank you for always sharing things to help. How long does it actually take to set up?
Thank you for watching. Excellent Question! This tent 'could' actually be set up in under a minute if you rush. That's including the time to take it out of the bag, and depending on how easy it is to drive the stakes into the ground. I was able to push the stakes in by hand at this location, so it was pretty fast. It can also break down and be put away almost as quickly.
Nice info, can you listen music togheter that you paired
Great question. You can listen to music or take calls while paired to another rider, but you can't share the music (or call). There are several newer headsets that can share music and communicate with more than one rider at a time, but none are anywhere near as affordable as these.
Thanks for the video. I wonder if there is a sissy bar / rear support that I can get for this bike, as my wife on the back likes to have support.
Thank you for watching, and for the comment. I believe one of the other brands of tail racks has bars that protrude a lot. Someone also makes rear crash bars that would make good grab bars on the sides of the seat.
This was great for me to watch. I am test riding a Tuareg tomorrow. I was originally thinking about buying something smaller, but I live about 1 1/2 hours away from trails minimum in Maine, so an adv bike would be nice at it would not require a trailer or backtracking to where I started from on the trail. Seeing you guys mess around makes me think I would not be giving up too much on the trails on a Tuareg vs. a honda CRF 300L or something like that. I love the idea of having plenty of room for camping gear and a great looking bike (compared to dual sports, at least to my eye). I am inspired. I trust are happy with your bikes vs dual sports.
So far we are loving them. We switched from having smaller dual sports (check out some of our other videos), but wanted a unicorn bike that could do it all. Unicorns are a myth but the Tuareg comes pretty close. We don't have any dealers in Wyoming, so we over protected to bolster reliability. Lol.
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures Thanks. I would have a dealer about 2 hours away, which isn't bad for living in Maine. On my list of things to find out on my test ride today is to get a sense how good their service department is. I will take a look at the older videos of your dual sports. Thanks, again. You guys are using this platform the way it should be used; to help people with similar interests.
@@Declan4253How'd the test ride go?
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures Well...they sold the bike that they allowed test rides on so no test ride. However, a week later a bought it anyway. I love it. I just did my first 600 mile service yesterday. I have the Camel Adv bash plate and other goodies on it. I think it looks great (the Dakar Podium color) and it is really fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
@@Declan4253 Nice. Glad to help, and glad you're enjoying the bike!
Just got the Tuareg a week ago. This rack will be here in a couple of days. Thx for the video. Any reason why you didn't go with the Outback Motortrek skid plate vs the Camel one you installed? Thx again, new subscriber here. Cheers, Raymond
Congrats on the new bike!. I loved the look of the matching Outback skid, but my research showed that the Camel skid plate gave better overall protection (check out their test video). It's wide enough to cover the lower motor and most of the foot levers in a drop and the added slip liner covers the dog bones.
...Btw, some of the other mods are slightly easier before installing the crash bars, like fog/driving lights. We'll post a video on that eventually.
View count seems to be growing, looks like it was a fun day!
Thank you! It was definitely a fun ride.
Looks like a lot of fun!
Yes, it was!
Ya the T-Rex skid plate is muuuuuuch better..
I don't know about better, but it's definitely more convenient for oil changes. I'd have to see somebody hit that one with a sledge hammer, while it's on their bike to be convinced that it's better. I also don't like the fact that the T Rex requires the additional lower crash bars to get as much coverage as the Camel skip plate gives alone.
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures The T-Rex plate is completely isolated from the oil pan.. No bolts or brackets attachment to the pan. Also covers the rear linkage for the swing arm.. Makes access to the oil filter a breeze..
@spencervidal3168 I'm sure it's a pretty good skid plate. I've used T-Rex products on other bikes. I definitely like the access panel for oil changes. However, it still doesn't cover as much without the addition of their ower crash bars, and they didn't have any evidence of impact testing. I also understand most of us want to believe that we made the best choice, And that what I find best for my use, may not be the best for others. I almost purchased the T-Rex plate, but after more research, I decided on the Camel. If you have the T-Rex, maybe you can come hit some trails with us sometime for a real world side by side comparison test. I can't think of a funner way to settle this debate. 🏍
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures Fair enough, so when are you two going to start wearing protection?? Your going to crash, and your bikes going to be fine but you two, weekend warriors are going to be all busted up,
@spencervidal3168 Thank you for the concern. We do have and usually wear protection, especially when riding challenging terrain.
How's that famous 'Wyoming ball-bearing gravel` feel at those speeds?
A lot like floating on air. Lol. ⛅️✈️
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures ❤
I’m always a little wary of skid plates with no rubber damping. Maybe I’m overthinking it?
Interesting perspective. Does someone make a rubber mounted skid plate for the Tuareg? I'm not sure that I would trust rubber mounts to be strong enough for some of the trails we ride with this heavy of a bike. I do believe the sub-mount on this one is sufficient for dampening. Cory at Camel ADV tested it by hitting it several times with a large sledgehammer, ...while it was mounted on the bike. I couldn't find any other skid plate manufacturers that even showed evidence of any testing. I'm definitely open to see something better, but I tried and couldn't find anything better as far as protection goes.
@@WyomingFamilyAdventures Heed skid plates have rubber mounts. I guess if something takes the force it’s better than nothing 🍻
@daveo9844 I had to go back and look at the Heed. Plate again, because it has been since last year. I definitely agree that the Heed plate is very good option. We passed on it because it doesn't give the same protection as the Camel ADV plate, without buying the additional lower crash bars. The Heed plate also lacks the heat shield around the cat.
Nice discussion. This really highlights what Wyoming Family Adventures said about this being the `best for their use`, and others might find something better for their own use. I like that both the video and Dave mention other good options and agree with both that there's not always a one size fits all solution for everything.
Lmfao "I bet you dont"
