My 2018 Adventure Sports is a very similar build. So far I have the full OUtback Motortek crash bar/Skid plate combo, Altrider headlight, voltage regulator, and clutch guard, Barkbusters, Doubletake mirrors, Camel high fender, and Black Dog pegs, and Giant Loop Fandango tank bag installed. I have the Ohlins Cartridges and rear sock on order at Konflict. Only have about 40 miles on it so far, snow is just starting to melt here. Can’t wait for the trails to open up here in the UP of Michigan and Northern Wisconsin!

That is one Wikkud setup, really enjoy your content man, I have only just recently bought a pre owned but solid AT and my list of gear to get for my 2016 AT is growing significantly longer after discovering your channel..... and thats great, its one of the greatest pleasures is building something strong that you can use and enjoy fiercly!! I am very thankful to you re shock and fork intel, as I had a suspension 'expert' nearly convince me to go Nitron (tagging their 'lifetime warranty' clause which I must admit was a good hook) over Ohlins, but lets face it, I only listen to you when it comes to all things Africa!! So Its the Ohlins stx46 Adventure rear shock for the WIN!! (I assume you are running the same) I cant wait to fit it as my stock shock rear SAG is at 85mm dialed right the way out hard with only 90kg (rider plus gear load)....... brutal, I would imagine my springs shot and my oils gone to dishwater.... can you please comment on any specific benefits of the Ohlins Rear shock (when compared to stock or Nitrons?) Thanks again, I appreciate your valuable intel mate..... oh yeah, how many miles have you put on your machine?
@backcountryadvmoto
@backcountryadvmoto 4 жыл бұрын
The Ohlins rear is hands down a better shock. Its more reactive and doesnt overhear offroad like the Nitron. Just make sure that the Ohlins is tuned to you and not an off the shelf model if you want to make sure you get all you can out of it.

With that said don't take this wrong but this video leaves me with my questions then answers, mostly regarding about about investment prices.

So lets get the elephant out of the room right now. This bike is built how I want it for my aggressive riding style. To add to that, I didnt pay retail for a lot of these mods. I am sponsored by by several of the companies that contributed to the build by either giving me the parts to try out during their R&D or at a discount in exchange for helping with R&D and to produces review videos on the performance of the said part. Yes all of the mods are impressive, but not essential to going off the highway and having a great time. Honda has made several improvements to the AT since 2018 and you can absolutely take a stock AT and hit the road on your adventures with very little customization. As far as investment price goes. If you add the cost of the bike and the cost off ALL the mods that have been done, its still cheaper than a bare bones off the show room floor 1200/1250GS especially when you start throwing parts at it you can easily hit the 30k mark quick. This bike has easily $10k less in it and id argue that its a way better off road machine the way it sits than what you get from a new german bike. Now I love the GS, and will most likely own one in a few years, but for my budget and riding style, the Honda fits all my needs. Hope that helps. Thanks for following along with the channel and welcome to the BAM community.

Thanks for this video (and all the many others). These have been super useful in making the mods on my AT. A couple of questions if you don't mind: I believe you said in another video that you had a Li battery. Which one did you use and how does it perform? How easy was it to make it work given the weird terminal configuration on the OEM battery? Second, and more interestingly, could you do a video on the power-commander work you did? How much HP did you gain and how did you set-up the two mode switch? Thanks and keep the videos coming!

I use the Antigravity Restart battery, and it performs VERY well. I had the Shorai, and went through two of them in two years. Hatted it and it always seemed like it was under powered. The Antigravity has 90 more CCA so it starts very quickly now, and I had no issues with the terminal set up. As far as the Power Commander goes, I installed the power commander 5, and used the autotune too and power commander software to tune the bike. I set it up for a offroad raw power tune and a more mellow touring tune for the highway. It did pretty well, but then last summer I took the bike to my local Dyno shop and WOW! They were able to tweek my tunes with the power commander and im now running 107HP. The bike is nice and responsive and the power delivery is awesome. Its very usable power. I was told they could have easily gotten more out of it, but I was concerned it would affect the longevity of the motor. I am very happy with it. The Rekluse Torque drive clutch, and exhaust would be something to consider as well to allow the motor to breath better and put the power to the ground with clutch. The clutch has 6 additional plates making it very strong. Hope that helps.

Backcountry Adventure Motorsports wow. Thanks for the detailed reply. Really appreciate it. Timely too... i was about to pull the trigger on a Shorai battery so appreciate the advice on the antigravity. With respect to the HP gain from the upgraded exhaust + power commander + dyno tuning, do you have a sense of roughly how much each component added to the overall HP boost? You picked up 10% HP from the mods. How much of that could you have gotten from changing the pipe alone? Or just the power commander? Trying to figure out the best bang for the buck. Thanks again!

Great review and mods intro. Do you still recommend Africa Twin in 2021 as only ONE bike if one want to invest for cross country tour, off road adventure, canyon ride, mountain, and in all possible bad weather conditions? TIA.

Hi. I bought an ATAS recently. And I think this modification is the best. Do you have the list of the parts that I have to buy. I leave in Argentina and the XADV 750 is not available so I have to order from outside my country. With the parts list is more easy. If you can send me this I apreciatte so much. Thanbk you

Great job on the videos. I've got 2017 AT. You're my go to when thinking about gear I need. I think you mentioned swapping out Altrider crash bars because they bend easily. Mine do the same. Thought I might need reinforcement bar between upper and lower. Did you run the reinforcement bar? And did they still bend?

Can you tell me more about your experience replacing the turn signals? Did you have to do any rewiring to install the generic LED indicators? I have the same ones on my 2014 NC700X and want to swap them. Thanks!
