    As a non BMW owner I can still appreciate subtle quality customisations to each individual's own tastes and budgets... However this bike looks like BMW would want another version of theirs to look like straight out their factory.. Super work and quality shines through. This GS looks lovely.

    That GSA is a labor of love!
    I adore the blacked out look. I'm gradually doing the same to my baby GS. I'm doing some functional mods first such as USB charging ports, heated grips and a GPS tracker hidden in the beak, but I'll black powder coat the rear rack and other bits as they become available.

    • @davidb9323
      @davidb9323 2 роки тому

      What tracker are you using ?

    • @Liberty4Ever
      @Liberty4Ever 2 роки тому

      @@davidb9323 - I use the Invoxia GPS tracker. I like it because it's small, the internal battery lasts several months when the vehicle is parked and not pinging a signal, it's easy to hide and I have it wired to recharge via the USB charging port whenever the bike is on so it stays recharged without me needing to access it. I bought it with a two year prepaid cellular contract that still has a couple of months remaining. So far, it's been reliable and trouble free. After a ride, I can see the route on a map on my cell phone. I wish the app didn't spy on me, but almost all apps spy on us. :-(

    The only thing I think I would have done differently, was to paint the crash bars on the same color of the frame, apart of that, perfection for me!

    • @jay26cee
      @jay26cee 2 роки тому +1

      Interesting thought, but the subframe is still black though so it balances the tubing front and rear. If it was the older TB (like my 2015 model) then it would make sense as the subframe is the same grey.

    I'd probably get a GSA with just a top box to start with. Panniers would spend most of their lives in the garage. I have a 56 litre Givi on my current bike which is perfect. Panniers hinder traffic filtering too much.
    That is one superbly sorted bike.

    I envisioned my future Triple Black something like this, its indeed to much silver. Its looking pretty good like it is now, nice job! For my likings I also want to add a bit of red here and there, small accents just to stand it out of the rest like the the Lone Ride bags, which are almost a necessity then, it's gonna make the bike so modern Mad Max looking!

    Well, can not see any adventure attitude after all that precious, expensive and hard work been done.
    This bike created for long, tough and hardcore adventures.
    This bike builded for intercontinental journeys.
    You destroyed the adventurous spirit of the bike with cameras , lights, devices, gadgets and all that cosmetics.
    I’m a several GSA rider since 2004.
    I always order my bike with fog lights and heated grips only.
    No computer, no esa, no led, no pro off road. No nothing.
    Less electronic, less problem while you are up there, dropping the bike constantly and riding it on the roads where it belongs.
    The bike looks fantastic, I can’t get bored of watching it for hours but it’s not 1250 GSA no more.
    It’s something else..
