BMW R1300 GSA Modifications

[@Deceter]

Rode one yesterday here in Australia, best bike I have ever ridden.

[@theblackcountrybiker]

Still scares me just watching Tom dismantle it. I couldn’t watch when you did my R1250GS😂. If I buy a new one I’ll have to come back to get you to remove my items and have them put on the new one. Great video 👍🏻

[@rivencsky]

The graphics are what BMW should have added on that model. What a difference!

[@piotrek7500]

Wow, it is built like a tank. No weight saving compromises.

[@DoodleRiderGSA]

Wow, I’m going to get a GSA next year and I hope to be able to copy what you’re doing. Your bike looks amazing and you’re not finished, I fitted a load of your stuff to my 1250 GSA 2 years ago and I love it all. So I’m going to be watching you like a hawk, but I may bring it to you this time. Keep up the brilliant work, I’m now getting excited. Trevor 👍

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! Tom is a wizard . Brilliant! I was at my dealership for a service this past weekend and saw a new GSA. I must say it looks better in the flesh. I really liked it. A beautiful bike for sure. Best !

[@gerryryan2302]

the graphics look ace

[@pby7675]

First :). Its going to take a long time for this radical new design to grow on me.

[@Matsridesoffroad]

You guys make the best and most helpful videos. Waiting for the parts and video for my 2025 GSA so I can order my next Denali setup

[@robfearonphotographyhillwa9583]

Tom will fix this, great guy, very professional, good luck with the journey

[@michielvandepol6765]

Looking forward to the video where you take it down piece by piece!

[@a9503128]

Just the video I’ve been waiting for 🎉

[@Getting-On]

Excellent video(s) as usual, the new GSA looks amazing, does look to be more work to strip them down, and from what i could see the same screws used on the bike as with the 1300GS. Well done Steve and Tom.

[@davewash50]

That was a great video Steve. Be interesting to see how you get on with those exposure automoto lights!! Thank you👍

[@markshirley7639]

Bike looks amazing ! Mine should arrive this week , kind of wish I'd bought the triple black now 😬👌🏼

[@2wheelsbetter]

Great stuff. I hope to see you in spring for some fitting work to my 1300gsa...once I've splashed out.

[@ABIKETHING]

Sounds great!

[@rcknrog1]

@@ABIKETHING great video do you know of anybody in the US? Does this sort of thing love the channel subscribed‼️

[@SwissAdventureRider]

Oups, missing the white gloves aren't we?

[@hlemke66]

Fantastic channel, new subscriber. Love the work you guys do! I notice early in the video you have what looks like D3 lights mounted before you replace them with the mystery lights. Do you reckon the D7 Pros would fit in the same spot, and would there be any issues with heat from the engine overheating the lights when on full? What mounts/brackets would you recommend in this instance? Many thanks!

[@yl4970]

As always, best instructional and yet entertaining video! BTW, do you ever plan to participate in any shows held in the US??

[@ABIKETHING]

Possibly! There were discussions about Denali asking us to support them at shows in US but that never happened. MOA is one I’d like to attend but it’s always too close to our ABR festival in UK.

[@nawafaldhahab2710]

Very good job as usual

[@ABIKETHING]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MichaelPhillips-wf9nc]

What a lovely looking bike boys 👍👍

[@johngreen6795]

Bike looks awesome

[@a9503128]

Not much LED is manufactured in the UK, Lazer, STEDI (limited), Triple R or AutoMoto

[@Gazooka]

Any chance of a video for installing a ezcan on the 1300gsa?

[@MatthewCox-b3p]

Hi, can i ask why you removed a BMW Akrapovic to put on a aftermarket Akrapovic?

[@AngeloDDrTroedhan]

Which company could I buy the graphics stickers from ?

[@hensola]

cool, so want to see ASA on the GSA in action. Only seen it on standard 1300.

[@ABIKETHING]

Soon!, hopefully have that uploaded by this weekend.

[@grahamdenton5635]

Hi great to meet you at the ponderosa.i have ordered a CF MOTO 450 MT will you have any accessories for this model Thanks.

[@roncoleman8351]

Nice job Steve and Tom! If I had a ton of money I’d take delivery of my US spec bike in Berlin, ride it over to you for a build, load it onto the QM2 and sail home. 🤣 Btw, I hope you’re able to mount the compact Sound Bomb under the front like the 1250…not sure I’d care for the split one, unless it’s the only option.

[@ABIKETHING]

The compact will not fit

[@danielwolthuis115]

Why don’t they come out of the Factory like that? Triple Black with 3 tones of Grey….would love to see it all black!!

[@dalehawkes1698]

Nice to see it fits ordered the triple black today so will be ordering lots of goodies for it but I’ve got to wait till Feb for the bike😬. Does the 1250 gsa Denali can fit on the 1300 or do you need the Mohave one ? . Safe journey ti Irma show

[@ABIKETHING]

It’s the mojave. Check these R1300GSA bundles abikething.com/shop/filter-tax=bikes:309;product_cat:189;brands:117

[@marcobartoli6004]

Where we can buy the graphics?

[@rcknrog1]

Do you know of a place that can do this work in California?? Thanks for the GREAT video❤

[@Vjekoslav-vf3hr]

Where r u at EICMA Milan? I am here.

[@ABIKETHING]

i left on Thursday.

[@Vjekoslav-vf3hr]

@ABIKETHING I am the one that we spoke on the phone video call. I will send you email question

[@smexyouss]

Any idea how put the Denali D7 pro? Thanks guys

[@tumolucky17]

It’s a shame you never do any work on the v4 multi rally

[@ABIKETHING]

I’m actually looking at buying an MS RS so maybe watch this space

[@michaelpearce3028]

Hi Guys love what you do, do you or are you looking to do some sort of lighting for the the lack of back lit switches on the bars , I will be up to you soon for upgrades when my bike id delivered

[@ABIKETHING]

I did look into awhile ago, but then the costs start building up. At what point do you say no when the cost keeps rising above a certain limit? There’s quite a bit of intricate work involved by the end user if we were to make backlighting a thing. Look forward to meeting you soon.

[@oliverfrey7511]

Still think, I might go for the D4‘s to keep with the square design of mine. Since mine will come with the Enduro Pro indicators, I may decide to go with the full Weiser lights. Thank you so much for your great video(s). Any thoughts on the square D4 lights over round ones, anybody?

[@ABIKETHING]

It’s all personal choice.

[@eversman1202]

Thank you very much für that top video 😃👍🏼. Which lights are on the crash bars? I can’t find a link to them in the description and they look a bit different to the Denali D7. Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany, Thorsten 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@ABIKETHING]

We’re not making them known yet. These are a new light which is not ready for sale yet. More powerful than a D7 with 8 LEDs but overall size of pod is smaller.

[@eversman1202]

Ah ok - Thank you 😃. Is there a date yet when you make them „public“ 🤗?

[@Oerst72]

Great look. @ABIKETHING Where can I get the graphics for the tank? Can't find in your shop

[@ABIKETHING]

We don’t sell the graphics. From shred graphics

[@badllama8090]

Absolutely do not like the looks of the new ADV, but that brushed ally tank looks great! btw, did anyone win your old bike, I couldnt find a video or a short with the draw etc on it??

[@ABIKETHING]

How can you not find it? It’s in the live video section of our account. Here it is here kzbin.infopyrWhNoLJAs?si=k55HGC5xKU1RoncS

[@M45KY]

Exposure Auto lights?

[@ΝΙΚΟΛΑΣΧΡΟΝΗΣ]

Laser Lamps maybe ;;😅

[@stevebez9556]

How many different size / lengths torx bolts are there?

[@ABIKETHING]

Not sure yet

[@MrMarquisimus]

Could I buy the stickers of the video? It's awesome ❤

[@ABIKETHING]

Reach out to shred graphics

[@DavidRodriguesOfficial_]

Decals company name? 😊 See you in Milan. Cheers from Portugal.

[@ABIKETHING]

Shred graphics. I’m only there for the press and trade days. My bike will be on the stand but I have to fly home early on 8th.

[@Andy-ft6yg]

Scary stuff 🧠

[@wimh9737]

I want to know something About the crashbars. Can you changed them with the crashbars from the 1300gs? Does the crashbars from the 1300gs fit on the 1300gs adventure?

[@ABIKETHING]

Great question. I’ll find out. Keep watching

[@NomadOnGS]

Yes you can.. they are exchangeable between GS and GSA

[@Paulschen100]

I have had a Cansmart for my 1250 GS Adventure. Can I use the same one for the 1300 GS Adventure, or do I need a new, other one?

[@ABIKETHING]

Same one works

[@LS-ck3bt]

@@ABIKETHING so just to clarify the Cansmart for a 1250gsa will fit a 1300GSA?

[@BajkerRajder]

Best modification for a 1300 GSA is a new 1250 GSA

[@scootjockey]

I bought a 1250 gsa full spec one should not have to "modify " nowt... especially with the price tags they now come .

[@Matsridesoffroad]

Is the EasyCAN available for the 1300 GSA? I did only see the GS on the website.

[@ABIKETHING]

Yes. It’s the same ezcan. I just have not had time To fully prepare the website for the 1300gsa. Working on it this week

[@Matsridesoffroad]

@ thank you very much Sir.

[@AndreiGrad007]

Hi Guys , I really like this new GSA but rear frame I don’t really like it, I think If you retrofit Normal R1300gs On GSA will look better with small modifications 😂😂😂is on my plan😂

[@GCM_AU]

Fark.. death by a 10000 screws.. Imagine the service costs..!

[@MorningCoffeeDaily]

Tell me that you can change that ugly front lights to an 1250 GS :D

[@Drewstheboy]

You’ve owned this new bike far to long I think it’s time you put it up for raffle 😂😂😂

[@maxflight777]

A double EZ can ? FFS ! I don’t even want one !

[@terrygibson9111]

more money than sense comes to mind £223 for a set of footrest🤔I've paid less for a motorbike🙄

[@ABIKETHING]

Or maybe the ratio between money and sense is off the charts.

[@theworldsbonkers]

So annoying that they still haven’t back lit the handle bar switches also still no car play.

[@RobertMacleod-h3b]

So many screws

[@BubbaSatori]

I have absolutely no trouble taking things apart…🤦🏼‍♂️

[@dcasteaux9181]

Most of these ‘upgrades’ are plain rubbish. Just peer pressure bragging gizmos. Only ‘upgrade’ you need are heated grips and decent tyres.

[@ciderbarnbees4660]

Try figure out how to focus for the next video

[@Michaelem72]

Too ugly to consider.

[@thatguy7085]

What I don’t get… they know people want cams, but instead they add some kind of auto brakes no one wants… why? You would think BMW would have basic cams as standard.

[@milabaigar]

That’s why Vogue are selling out , all bmw exstras are included in the Voge price !

[@TheZanshen]

£23000 and the shaft drive is a consumable at the owners expense. No thanks. Bet the sales staff don’t tell you that lol 😂.

[@austinmatthews347]

bmw seem incapable of making a decent drive shaft i am aware the 1250 has to have a shaft at 36k at bmw expense i wasnt aware of the situation regarding the 1300 i currently have a 22. gsa i test rode the 1300 on sat for 2 hours and i can say its not for me it seems aimed at a different buyer now its still small i niticed like the new gs the bars and clocks are closer to me which i didnt like also the cockpit has gone now its very open at the front the ugly black framework holding the screen on the gs isnt on the gsa the engine noise is terrible its maybe a tad more agile and its a bit more grunty 2 aspects i am mot interested in i would by a different bike if more agility and more grunt is needed what gets me is joe the 1250 is suddenly shit over night
