An Africa twin with a 19 inch wheel just looks odd to me.. I have the 24 Comfort seat on my 22.. It's great, taller though.

Line-x the part..Might be easier ....so how bad is the buffeting for a 6-6'1 person....I heard it is horrible on highway speeds ? is there any truth to that ?

Did it come with the lock cylinder already installed or did you have to install that?

I can’t find the sticker

Bike is Frickin Awesome!!!

I like your detailed review 👏👏

1:35 can that one store a helmet ?

Maybe try Doral wrap

Did you warm up the engine to get all the debris floating and then drain it?

Is there any other brand of plastic side cases that are compatible without additional anchors?

Thank you for your flawless video. Awesome work

Nicely done. Your video helped me select the Honda "poly" panniers for my Africa Twin...which should be in my garage in a few weeks! Thank you for doing a nice review on all the luggage.

I have the same comm system, as well as the Cardo PackTalk and the upgrade to the system you have. Knowing what I know now I would pass on getting the Cardo. I think the sound, mics and noise cancelling are much better on the other units. Thinking about adding an AT AS to the stable, maybe next year...

I have the same gloves, they're great 😅

Super useful! I ordered one ATAS 2025. Now I can get used to the display and when it comes I'll be famliar wuth it! Thanks a lot!.

Are they lighter than the aluminum ones? And how much weight do they add to the bike?

Where did you find the decals for the side panniers? I just picked mine up and would like to find those decals. Thanks.

Thanks for making this - doing 600 mi. maintenance today.

I wish the Honda CRF300L Rally had factory plastic bags.

2022 Manual ATAS here. AT seat is known for being uncomfortable. I have a neoprene Wild Ass Cushion on mine and it helps a lot. When two up I ride in User 1 because in Tour mode the throttle is way too sensitive and the bike pogo’s a bit when riding in traffic and backing off or feathering the throttle at low speeds. In fact in traffic I usually use Urban mode as it de-sensitises the throttle best, User 1 for everything else unless on the motorway or when solo I use Tour Mode. I have a Bluetooth unit from Amazon permanently plugged into the onboard USB socket. This way I have complete Bluetooth of Apple Car Play from my phone which I keep on my inside jacked pocket whilst riding. I went with Ohlins Rear shock and went for a Ohlins 110NM spring as well. Stiffens up the back when I have pillion. The stock rear shock spring is way too soft on the AT be it a basic suspension bike or the Electronic Suspension bike. Mine is a basic suspension bike for this very reason because I knew my Mrs would be on the back of the bike a lot and I had already learnt from another ES user that if your gonna carry two up with luggage, just go with the manual suspension bike and upgrade the rear end. Now the bike is really compliant and planted even two up. Not sure if you can make this mod on the ES version of the bike? I have the exact same luggage as yours. Much prefer the black boxes over the aluminium ones, particularly as there are no frames need mounting so when the boxes are off, the bike is nice and clean looking right away without scaffolding all over the place. Haven’t had any issues with scratches to the rear footrest hangars. I think your tape mod is a good idea. I do have some scuff marks on the exhaust heat shield from the Mrs boots rubbing on it occasionally. I have some Carbon Fibre looking sheeting and I’m going to cut a piece and add it to the exhaust shield around the rear foot peg area to cover up the marks and prevent it from becoming worse. I’ve also added Rox Risers to mine. 1 1/8 risers as any higher will require mods to the front brake hose. Means I can keep my arms straight and I don’t get discomfort around my shoulder blades like I used to. I’m 6ft 1” and 220 lbs. It’s also helped with seat comfort. Not sure why but I guess because I’m sat with my back in a more vertical position than before, the weight distribution down at my backside has changed making the seat more bearable on longer rides. I want to try a sheepskin on my seat, see if it works any better than the Wild Ass cushion. I ride with the seat in the lowest position. Even though I have long legs, this is a top heavy bike at the best of times. The lower I can keep the centre of Mass the better. On long journeys I have sometimes used the lower engine bars to place my feet and change position on my legs. I find it quite comfortable riding like that on longer journeys and motorways. These are great bikes. Like any bike I’ve had in my life, they always need to be tweaked a bit to suit the owner. I bought this bike to do touring with my Mrs and it’s been great for that and each little tweak I make, makes it better. Mines done 5000 miles now. Runs like a champ.

Those bags look great on that bike.

I really like these for all the reasons you stated their perfect. I really didn't want the frames. I'll have the wife paint the sides of my boxes with acrylics when I get them as she's an artist.

I got one of these but mine was 35 and says Africa Twin on it. Great little bag and its just perfect for a bottle of water and a few nick knacks also i put the insurance and registration documents in there but within a little removable wallet as the whole thing is nickable. Takes two seconds to throw it in a lockable topbox if leaving the bike for more than a minute.

I just brought my bike identical to yours home tonight. This is very helpful thankyou. Coming from a Goldwing DCT I was disspointed to see that there is no accessory mode so that the whole time i am playing with these switches the headlights are on and draining the battery. Makes me feel like I am on a timer. Ive ordered a battery tender that does Lithium Ion but until it comes I shall limit my time messing around in the numourous setting available for this bike.

The Adventure sports have the so-called Comfort Seat. It is the regular version that has a lower and harder seat and if you replace it, you get the adventure sports seat. I have the normal bike and I got the Adv. Sports seat as replacement. Slightly different shape and foam, slightly better but far from comfortable.

Please let us know if you find an appropriate comfort seat as I have just ordered this bike with the so called comfort seat extra upgrade. Many thanks from the UK.

UPDATE!!! After comments on this video and my post on the "CRF1000L & CRF1100L Africa Twin & Adventure Sports" FB group page, I did double check and compare the foam colours between the original and Accessory Comfort seats.... the original was indeed 'yellow' and the accessory seat had 'white-ish' coloured foam. So, perhaps they are different afterall. I decided to try out the new seat... 350kms today... and still not great. The new seat was more comfortable for longer... and the pain in my backside was different. More like an overall pressure pain everywhere (kinda like a burning sensation)... whereas I find the original seat has defined pressure points that become extremely painful over time. So, yes, it is better than the stock seat... but still not great. Is it worth $150 CDN? Maybe.

Greetings from Greece. Can you please check if they have any differences on the other side (bottom)? I read that the comfort seat has different foam color. Thanks!

Congrats mate. Looks stunning. Been considering the same to be my 2nd bike. Waiting for the dealership to bring some down and I’m taking the plunge. Thought I’d go basic with clutch. But decided now for the Adventure Sport “24

I think the comfort seat has white foam of much higher quality

That is a fun road. I used to ride between Petawawa and Trenton a fair bit, to change things up I would take different routes whenever I had time. I rode most if not all of the roads between Hwys 37 and 41 at one point or another.

Thicker foam has never been the answer for me, a wider (and usually flatter) seating area with stiffer/denser foam for more support on the edges has always been the seat upgrade that works for me. Thicker, softer foam gives the illusion of more comfort but only in the short term. Once it gets compressed it's actually far less comfortable than what most people consider to be hard seats. Too bad this didn't work out but at least you can return it.

Bummer the new seat didn’t end up being any better. But look forward to seeing what you come up with cause it’s definitely not a cushy seat.

I recently tried using the seat in the high position and found it lets you sit a little further back and massively improved the comfort for me. Probably not as good as just a softer more comfortable seat, but definitely better than the low position, with the obvious tradeoff that it’s taller.

How do you know the foam isn’t different on the comfort seat? It can be a firmer foam that you can’t tell by just pressing down with your hand.

Thats some beautiful luggage. I am having the the Center stand fitted too. It's a must have for me.

What’s the stickers part number?

I have a request : can you weigh one empty container ?

How much did the bags cost?

Superglue for back rest pad

Beautiful job, they look the business, all those frames are generally awful loking, those boxes are nice n tidy

I don’t own the AT but on the Transalp, the power you have set for “P” is the lowest setting. Is it the same on the AT?

Hey, this is wierd.. Had the 2024 atas since launch now and the topbox passanger back rest have never fell off, the black paint on the pillion footrests is not wearing as yours, and min have 6700km now. I hope like you that there is some winddeflectors for the atas soon but not likely.. Have a nice day and enjoy the great bike :) Greetings from Norway.

@3:54 get some 3M adhesion promoter and get automotive 3M tape...it will never come off.
