    I absolutely love this! Anything to make you more visible is a "GO" in my book. Would have loved for you to have shown a shot with the D7's fired up as well. I want to scorch retinas when I ride, this checks all the boxes for me! Well done!

    People who say it’s too much are not over fifty years old or don’t own a GSA! I stumbled on this video because I need more lights to be able to see at night. I think it is a perfect example of what BMW should do/offer out of the factory.

    I really like the pannier lighting. I find on my GSA that looking at its profile in a window reflexion, the bike is dark no matter how much forward light you project.
    Would love to see the installation in greater detail.

    My GSA is fairly similar but without the D4s above as I'm going off-road in areas and I'm afraid of breaking them if I drop it. I also have the Inview system under the seat with the Amplink and the two Cansmarts under the rear seat. I get lots of compliments on the hand guard lights with your mounts for them - I always tell people where to order them from and to definitely check out your UA-cam channel.

    • @ABIKETHING
      @ABIKETHING  3 роки тому +1

      Bike is with customer now. In Scotland. Won’t be seeing it again. The challenge is to make it neat as possible. Doesn’t have to look amazing but get rid of as much excess as possible then duck tape it down so it doesn’t get in the way when using pannier luggage bags. Also used perfect sized grommets to make seal on wire as water tight as possible.

    I like it. GSA is an ideal object to put a tons of accessories on it and never is enough. Smaller bikes would look strange with to much lights, but not GSA. I would do the same with my 1200 GSA, if I could find someone to install all these lights. So I have to be satisfied with original fog lights and additional D4 and sound bomb, which were installed by official BMW dealer. But O.K., I found some other options to make my bike more impressive……

    • @ABIKETHING
      @ABIKETHING  3 роки тому +2

      I used 4 pin MT style plugs. Drilled the necessary holes and then used rubber grommets where the harnesses pass through. Also used high quality heat shrink so the external plugs are extra weather proof. Wires inside panniers are made to measure inside and then duck taped to inside wall.
