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?)

@backcountryadvmoto4 жыл бұрын
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!
@backcountryadvmoto4 жыл бұрын
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.
@danielabramzon78064 жыл бұрын
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!

Uh, wrong! I did not come here because I own an Africa Twin or am in the market for one. I came here because your bike looked cool in the thumbnail. I did not even realise that I watched the whole 21 minutes until the video ended! I really love the mods you have on this. And "Camel Toe" LOL!

It seems like it would be easier for you to tell which mods you DON'T have.😄 Bro, you have one ~customized~ machine. What I like - everything has a fairly valuable purpose. It's not just a bunch of farkle for the sake of having it. I really like that linkage guard on your double stand (I'm easily impressed). That's a great preventative mod, and just plain cool. I know it doesn't happen overnight, but again, you have that A.T. modified into one nice machine, and from all appearances, ready to go anywhere.

Started watching your videos and I’m enjoying the content - really liked the chain maintenance/adjustment. Question- any issues with clearance between the Alt Rider High Fender kit and the Outback Motortek upper crash bar? Thanks again

Lots of good ideas. Surprised you don't have an Eastern Beaver under the seat, or the power outlet and wiring harness. What an unnecessarily hard b1tch that was to install. Are your Woody's tubeless? I guess not since you carry a spare tube, but I thought Woody's were the go-to for a conversion.
@backcountryadvmoto4 жыл бұрын
I have my own version of the eager beaver. As far as the woodies go, they aren’t tubeless, and I personally prefer a tube over tubeless. Woodies downstairs make a tubeless version for the AT. They focus on strength over convenience. Knock on wood, but I’ve NEVER had a flat on my AT. With alllllll the off-road miles I’ve been lucky I guess

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?

Jesus Christ. I thought my Twin was pretty well spec’d. Guess I need to do some more shopping. Also. What windshield is that again. Love how you can adjust it up.
@backcountryadvmoto4 жыл бұрын
Its the Batzen Windshield adjustment bracket. Works with just about an windshield. I have a video on it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnS4n5RpoJ6Blbs Im using the Touratech Medium windscreen with it.

Backcountry Adventure Motorsports Excellent, thanks for the info man. Keep up the good work. Loving the channel back catalogue now I’ve found you.
@kevinnashskitchen35173 жыл бұрын
What do you think of the new Africa Twin models? Would you go with the tubeless tire,larger tank and adjustable screen model? Or stick with the base model? Great video by the way 👍
@backcountryadvmoto3 жыл бұрын
Thanks. Really just depends on what kind of riding you want to do. If you want to do more adventure touring that is more highway base. Then the adventure sports bike would make more sense. But if you want to do more off-road type riding then I would stick with the base model. In a perfect world I would put the tubeless wheels on the base model
