Mike Glover’s Fieldcraft Survival Yamaha T7 Build!

[@theredpilllion5922]

My buddy just got a T7, for his wife last week. 😃👍 He said it’s the best trade, he ever made!

[@kurtismeinhardt68]

Really like the T7, currently on a Gen 2.5 KLR. Kitted out for around $5,500. Currently pulling two jobs so the wife can stay home with the babies. Once we’re free and clear of that a little bit quicker bike will be in my stable. For now the KLR is a noble pack animal for me.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

The KLR is a great bike. It’s a do-it-all machine that just won’t die 👍🏻

[@murky912]

I personally prefer the KLR, been shopping around for one myself. Great reputation and seems to be more affordable

[@keyboarddancers7751]

A man being a strong father; all good things come to he who waits.

[@lhurst9550]

The benefits of a high mount exhaust is not to be underestimated on the T7.

[@downbytheriver501]

Totally agree. Plus it looks amazing. I have an HP corse full exhaust on mine. Have a couple shorts on my channel showing it.

[@johnny_boi77]

Yep. Since I've mounted my Mivv Dakar, I just ride so much more relaxed and peace of mind. No matter if it drops on the right side or not. Plus it sounds mean

[@Outbackmotortek]

Great build project. Thank you for the shoutout too.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

For sure! Thanks for all the support

[@coryluck]

This is a good video. I like the way you did the short talk about the bike, then rode it, then went over the set up. well done.

[@frank_jk]

That’s a great looking whip! I’m happy to see the Motology dash kit on there, as I was thinking about getting one myself. I look forward to seeing more of this bike on the Fieldcraft channel!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

More to come for sure

[@Sonoda10]

I agree with you my friend! This bike is simply sensational for any type of terrain and situation! For those who like adventure, it's the perfect bike!

[@CageSimons]

You’re the only person I know that would go hard enough to high center a bike a couple days before it goes to the @fieldcraftsurvival and Overland Expo 😂 Solid Build with some fun go fast parts Kyle 🔥

[@DF4Trap]

The T7 seems to make a lot of sense, I believe it will be my next bike. Thanks for sharing.

[@Last_Chance.]

Ive got a honda xrl 650 that i just finished up a build on. I got similar racks and bags as y'all do and I also went with a 5 gallon tank and many many other things. Y'all did a great job on the bike fellas. Happy trials!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

We have a xr650 build in the works 👍🏻

[@hairlessharescrambler56]

I bought a mint condition 2017 Honda crf250L with 180 miles on it a couple years ago from a friend for 5 grand,it only does 60 on the highway (I geared it lower for trails)but I love that bike and ride it almost every day,its not a great dirtbike but still alot of fun

[@richgran]

I installed the Quad Lock waterproof, wireless charging, device mount, with the vibration dampener and 10mm bar clamp. I can mount my phone in portrait or landscape configuration with Quad Locks 1/4 turn lock system. And, not cover any of the T7's dash screen. I wouldn't want to mount a device any other way. With a decent Bluetooth helmet comm, it's an awesome setup.

[@davidshourd]

you got that set up almost exactly as I have mine! nice choices!

[@turinhorse]

looks so amazing with the high fender.

[@jasonclark4949]

Where was the OHV park you found? Looks awesome, I am in Hayden and haven’t come across that area yet.

[@bubaks2]

Can keep a laptop here? 10:04 10:17 or here? How big a laptop can u fit in there. 16 inch?

[@JacoT7_ADV]

Good looking build brother. Looking forward to bringing Jaco down to Idaho this summer to go for a rip with you.

[@DoctorDJ1976]

Looks better in black than that camo

[@SGobuck]

Im in Ohio. Won't be any bugging out here, I'll stand and fight. Good luck out there kids. 👍🇺🇸💪

Great video! I've been a fan of your content for a while now. Keep it up!

[@jl4093]

I've never had much luck with Yamaha. I had a Honda xr250l as a first vehicle back when you could get a motorcycle license at 14 but had to wait till 16 to get a license for a truck. Currently have an xr600r and like the air cool XR650L. Probably go that route.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

We have a XR650L build coming soon. Stand by 👍🏻

[@479_adv]

Is that Outback Motortek luggage rack the symmetric version? I have a deposit on a T7 (selling my Africa Twin) and I like the space for stashing extras that a symmetric rack would provide, I am just worried that my Mosko Moto Backcountry 35s will stick out way past the handlebar width. I'm not weaving in and out of traffic or between trees often, so maybe I am worried about nothing.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Yes they are symmetrical. We will be putting extra fuel in that spot so we wanted the space. As far as width goes, it’s not even noticeable. Just did 1800 miles with them on a off-road trip with no issues

[@479_adv]

@@backcountryadvmoto I like that extra space. I have a Camel Tank on my AT and like not having fuel range anxiety, so I'll get one for my T7. Thanks for the reply!

[@glight5205]

I really like your helmet, especially with this visor, which one is it?

[@matthewlee8917]

Just picked up a brand new 2024 for $9799 out the door. Those year end deals are where it's at.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

That’s awesome. Congrats that’s a good deal.

[@alanwalls3117]

Excellent! Love my T7

[@willbaker920]

Great build!! Wish the T7s had factory cruise control.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

yeah if id did it would be just about perfect

[@alltruckeredout]

Awesome build, Kyle!

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Thank you sir!

[@WeckforsDiscovery]

Suspension is the first upgrade i have heard???

[@Solo_adv]

Who wouldn't luv'em they're free after all. 😂 Outta here!

[@MotoMission.]

What is the brand on the heated grips?

[@backcountryadvmoto]

They are the Koso heated grips imp.i104546.net/DKZNmd

[@JimJNebraska]

Great looking bike!

[@Jeredsmith]

traded in by rally raid cb500x for a tenere 700 in early april and just last week got it to where i want it with racks and guards. Eventually will do the suspension but for my weight it's already better over the rougher things at speed compared to the cb500x. I'm enjoying it so far no big off roading yet but planning on going on a trip soon! I've wondered what your thoughts are on the T7 compared to say the africa twin or your new bmw. I think you might've covered it before but couldn't remember.

[@arturoiannuzzi2985]

THANK YOU

[@alphawolf2993]

Hey man are you available to go for a short trip to northern idaho this weekend or at the end of june? Have you spent any time around priest lake Idaho? Good trails.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

I’m in Coeur d Alene. I’ve ridden a little up there, but not much. I might have some time in June👍🏻

[@alphawolf2993]

If you have a passport i would gladly meet you in prirst river and take you on a 70% offroad journey through northern idaho, through some of the most beautiful areas of canada and back within a day.

[@axxonplexxus9801]

Nice build. The only negative IMO is the low mounted exhaust. Terrible design. My suggestion would be to mount it higher.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

It’s on the list for the 2.0 version 👍🏻

[@matzrott92]

Am I the only person who saw those tire tracks going off the mountain?

[@nvrmor023]

A beginner would be better off starting smaller and cheaper to see if its for them. Something like a Himalayan is half the price and wont get you speeding tickets and broken bones, plus it does slow bike work much better since its got more low end torque and less throttle than the tenere which like happened to you can cause the bike to jump out from you. But you do you and sell people on your free stuff.

[@reidcrosby6241]

I could NEVER adjust to any fairing on my enduros. Yeah, they arent smooth on the highway....but i am a gravel road guy. 1980s XT350 (3)/XT600/XR650. I dont do all the nav/electronics either. Primitive. $6k in all 5 bikes. Thats affordable, and all the kids can escape.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

We will have an XR 650 bug out build soon keep an eye out for it

[@reidcrosby6241]

@@backcountryadvmoto thanks, be sure to put the lowering dog bone on that bastard. Very tall...and I am tall. It's makes it challenging off road. I am too cheap to buy that dog bone. I had to upside the tank. I rode around Cali for a month or so while on a job out there, had to carry a 2 gallon jug strapped to the back each time I did a segment of the coast highway. Even at that I never pass a gas station without stopping. These little kick start only XT350s are glorified mopeds, but man they are nice, cheap, and easy to ride.

[@Wanted1069]

Too big. Too many gadgets. NICE! But too much. I'd at least like to have a back up Kickstart. And pray you mever have to push start it. You'll be cussin that heavy bastard! Cool content! Definitely not the bike for me. (Prefer more minimalist XR/L650)

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Look at the weight difference between this and the XR 650 I think you’ll be surprised

[@Wanted1069]

@Backcountry Adv Moto Im aware. And it is pretty impressive! Personal preference reallly. I like the less is more. Turn signals and mirrors are too much for me, lol! And a couple of empty 50cal ammo boxes and a backpack will get me about anywhere I wanna go, gear wise. (In relative comfort) And the Xrs are pretty simple to work on. Especially electrical stuff. Plus, a carb is pretty fail-safe sans deep water fording adventures. All this new electronic gadgetry scares me in a Bugout/survival vehicle. (Look at Ed Marshs channel C90 Adventures You'll laugh yer ass off at where he takes that thing) For all-around, you're right with the tenny! Absolutely freakin cool ride! Im just not sure that'd be my personal 1st choice. Besides.. how many baja 500 and 1000s has the xr won?! A few rattle cans of od green, black, and earth brown go a long way in the concealment game. Oh, did I mention... They come with a kickstart! 😆😆

@@Wanted1069 we have a xr650 build coming soon. I think you’ll like what we do with this one.

@Backcountry Adv Moto Sawwweettt! I can't wait to see what ya do with it! Just a heads up... the DG O series can is Not as quiet as their add describes.. It's every bit as loud as my FMF can/ Power bomb header.. Just in case you wanna try to quiet it down.. And gear it tall. Its a bit "buzzy" across the bars at highway speeds .. ✌️

These are quite a bit lighter than the 650 xrl that I have. I have ridden a couple t7's and they are pretty easy to push start actually
