BBB #20: F900XR Crash Bung Farkling
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Mick's growing group of rapacious admirers have demanded to see more of him in his garage, so here he is fitting a set of Puig Pro Frame Sliders to his F900XR. Perhaps he has misunderstood them when they asked him to "bring some protection" on his next XR group meetup in that woodland car park in deepest Surrey.
One of the better instructional videos I’ve ever seen 👍
Mike /Andy. Thank you for the routes as we are there in June good luck and Stay safe !
I look forward to your Vids from Portugal

Keep it upright Les, thankyou .
Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate this process. You've inspired me. Ordering my sliders right now!
Thanks Mike, I really appreciate your video, its gave me the confidence to fit these slider myself, Cheers.
Hi mate ! Do you know the torque for the screw now ? If you know let me know please thanks
What year is this? I have the 2021 F900XR. It is not the same as this one you are showing. Did you mean to not tell what model year this is? The reason why I need you to tell what year this being applied is because the 2021 model sliders are attached at the same sites the 2021 OEM BMW crash bars attach on both sides. And, the OEM driving/fog lights are attached to the crash bars!! So, if someone buys and applies the sliders to the 2021 model, then later wants crash bars and lights, they are gonna be mad for not being told.
Comprei os cogumelos da Puig iguais. Fui eu que montei e estou com a pulga a trás da orelha. A base onde os cogumelos aperta tem uns parafusos com espaçadores que aperta em dois pontos mas a base do lado esquerdo no parafuso da frente esta assentar no quadro em vez no espaçador. Estranho?? Não a como enganar na montagem o Kit vem já com os parafusos e espaçadores montados dentro da caixa. A tua também ficou assim?
Yes one side has spacers the other doesn’t .
Thanks. Can you use for foot rests on long cruises?
Great installation guide! Just got my f900xr. Had motorrad engine bars fitted prior to collection of the bike and didn't realize they don't protect the fairings. Looking to add these to the bike and wanted to know how you would rate them after 7 months of use?
Thanks for the comments. Fortunately never had test them yet. Just my preference to ugly crash bars.
Hi where did u get the comfy seat from. Many thanks
Sorry for delay . Came with the bike …. Option.
The screws must be closed by applying a specific torque, not so to feeling…
is this better than crash bars ?
I haven’t seen any comparisons as to if they do a better job than crash bars, I just think they look more unobtrusive .
I really can’t see how they would stop much damage to the fairing
Depends a lot on how hard he bins it. He tends to topple over at petrol stations when his wife is on the back.
Thanks for looking, I don’t want to try it out but I guess between that the handle bar and rear grab rail it does it’s stuff . The brand new Akro though would get well mullered !
Very informative, your starting to worry me.
Yep we are worried about him too. I'm sure normal service will be resumed quickly.
Thanks for watching guys, I’ve run out of stuff to do now 😂.
Hi guy’s enjoy your vids being of the same gender and approximate age! We are going to the Pico’s shortly and I remember Richard “Banditman” talking about your routes that he used , the web address that he used and that is still on your vid is now redundant !
Is it possible that you Could supply me with the GPX files of your Picos trip please 🙏 for which colleague’s and I would be very grateful
Les Cooke
Hi Les thanks for your comments. Sorry for the delay but i haven't checked these for a a couple of months. I'll see if Andy who does the route still has the files. We're off to Portugal in 2 weeks for A BBB 10 day tour, hopefully with some vlogs.
