Absolutely love the products and the service of Wunderlich. I’ve added their crash bars on my wife’s Urban GS, as well as their axle sliders and tank bag. Fit and quality is always top notch!
Hi. I bought the bike with those crash bars and I want to remove them. My question is when you installed them did you remove any factory-fitted screws? If I remove the bars will I need to put any screws in the open sockets?
@@danondemand I want to install hepco & becker lower and upper set. I think they might use different mounting points and when I remove the wunderlich then I want to be sure everything is tight up correctly (no missing screws)
Great question! I really don't know but have added them to this bike because they're available. They only make lower bars for some bikes (like the G310R) but in general i see it as cheap insurance and get whatever protection i can. Plastic fairings, especially the BMW ones are incredibly expensive so the full set of upper and lower bars will probably cost less than replacing the bodywork.
@@danondemand I just bought a BMW F750GS and I think protecting it is second only to overall safety. I will likely be getting a full set since I want to become great at slow speed maneuvering. I’ll likely dump it occasionally.
I just purchased a 2023 750 with low miles and extras was a good deal to pass up. The problem is that I am only 5ft5 and he put on a Sargent seat on a regular suspension bike. Puts me on my toes for touching. Any suggestions?
The easiest way may be to get a thinner profile seat which can bring it down an inch or two. Not a great option because you're trading comfort. You can also adjust the preload on the rear shock. The trade you're making with that change is suspension performance, so you don't want to back it out too much. It's pretty easy to do this, if you have the electronic suspension just change it to a single passenger with no luggage. You'll notice the bike lowering itself. If you have the manual suspension then loosen the spring collar nut on the rear shock and back it out a few turns. If you're okay spending more money you can either change the suspension, or maybe find a lowering link (not sure if they make them for this bike though)
Sorry I'm not 100 sure because I never tried it, but you're giving up some padding. My guess is it'll still be more comfortable than stock bc of the saddle shape
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, this was one of my first videos and there have been many lessons learned 🙂. I may end up reposting this one to turn down the background audio and get better quality.

Good video.

Oh man, I don't remember exactly which ones but I'm pretty sure I did
Just curious, why not just keep them?

I’m definitely going to get lower crash guards on mine. My question is, how important is it to have the upper tank guards too?

@@danondemand do you think a Sargent low seat would still be giving up comfort?

@@danondemand ok thanks and your videos are very helpful
Great very informative, but the so called music noise was bloody irritating!!!!!!

Where did you get your motorcycle ramp? thanks
It's the quickjack brand lift and i love it. Best part is it can also be used as a car lift, which is why I originally wanted it.
