Good job on the fiddly bits! Great beer review 🍻😜

[@rohithram1762]

love that you have beer at your Garage!! Cheers

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It's a must in any man's garage👍😜

[@AndyManCam]

Ahahahaa! Glad to see I'm not the only one that has nightmares with 'easy' jobs! Lucky you've got a bug spoiler to hide all of the new scratches on the pipes from the install! 😂

[@thelikeablerider8800]

They'll polish out😂

[@ross5506]

Lol

[@Gaz1za21]

All those shots of you sipping beer felt like a Prodigy music video!! (You know the one!!)👍🤣👌I’ll remember that beer next time I’m back home in Brandenburg👌

[@thelikeablerider8800]

You can't go wrong with beer from Bavaria, although some can knock ya hat off✌🍻

[@johnkear6273]

Patience of a Saint. Looks good mate.

[@TT_STUIE]

Once again your patience has to be admired 😤🤬🍻🏆

[@BulldogGaz]

Very amusing Shaun, but the Bugspoiler looks great, nice job 👍😉😊

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Cheers Gaz👍😜

[@itchyscratchy8216]

Meine Güte , was ist denn mit Kühlschrank los! Ne ne du das geht aber nicht ! 🍻😂🤣 Excellent vid 👌

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Ist jetzt wieder voll....wie peinlich🤦‍♂️😂

[@SINIS0RSA]

Looking good!

[@shawngreenwood7825]

Almost a skidplate but for those pipes. Rated 2 beers! Cheers!

[@legolid1466]

Brilliant video buddy, looks great too. Definitely moe than two beers when working on the bike it’s the law, that’s what I tell the wife any way hahaha 👌👌

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Cheers m8! It's the law in my garage😜

[@Robbiemoto]

I like the idea of a belly pan for the 1290. I've been looking around for one for mine but have to admit unfortunately I'm not quite keen on that one with it being metal and the shape. Nice "how to" vid through.

[@ross5506]

Something out carbon, keep weight down easier put on, maybe? Any other companies that you know of? 🇨🇦

[@thelikeablerider8800]

This one doesn't weigh much as it is aluminium. Once the new exhaust is on then everything should level out weight wise, but tbh with all that power you wouldn't notice any added weight😜

[@Robbiemoto]

@@thelikeablerider8800 For me i think it's more a case of i'd expect to see something like that on an adventure bike. With It's design and material used. I think maybe plastic or carbon and less off road looking would look better. I'm not saying it looks out of place it's just not something that immediately floats my boat so to speak.

[@steveyork8069]

Looks better than I thought when it was sitting on the bench graphics will make it pop.Not sure I want to cover up that AR pie cut titanium on mine.🏍👍🍻

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Titanium definitely needs to be on display Steve✌😎

[@simonrobinson7536]

More bling to make it your own Shaun. Do you know how much extra weight all these bits have added ? Cracking video and yet again you have some patience

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Its all aluminium! Think when I change the exhaust, it'll all balance itself out😜

[@tancakar8987]

why do they not do a proper bell pan :( i always wondered. it cries for one.

[@_anything_fast_9963]

Hi can you tell me where you got your small fly screen? I think you said it’s from Italy in one of your vids... cheers

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hi Ordered it from here, great quality product! shop.mircosapiodesign.it/

[@pandaSL]

That look so good

[@gogatbilisigeorgia]

Great bike

[@dalehawkes1698]

Looks good I reckon those bottom screws are a super fafh lol final outcome looks factory though 👍👍👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Was definitely a fiddly experience🤦‍♂️😜

[@mbal4052]

Getting mine this week, im like a child waiting for christmas!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I know the feeling🤦‍♂️😂

[@ross5506]

Got mine 2 weeks ago, since I live in Canada had wait over month. This bike, is so damn comfortable, fast as f**k, hold on! As far as vibration it's not bad especially if you got it around 4500 rpm smooth. You'll enjoy it! Just put a Austin V3 200 mm without the DB-KILLER, sounds mean. Not so loud if you got below 4K rpm.

[@mbal4052]

@@ross5506 Great, thanks for the tips Ross. I'm def going for an Austin Racing slip on exhaust 👍🏻

[@carlton683]

Nice job mate

[@markellison4875]

Hi Shaun, i was stationed in Munster near Saltau back in the 80's so not to far from you now. Great place to live. Do you prefer Swmotech over other brands because i see you've fitted crash bars from them.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yeah I'm an SW fan! I used their gear on all my bikes to date, even before we started working together👍😜

[@glenbailey7427]

Looks rather cool Mr Marshall.. 👍🏻😜

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Cheers Glen! Does look much better✌😜

[@o021455]

Great video!!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Thanks Jay✌😜

[@raysahl5849]

Hi, nice video. What do you use to polish the pipes, how do you keep them that shinny? Thanks.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Just a metal polish and good bit of that elbow grease, nothing special👍😜

Hi Pal Love the super duke , looking at trading my 15 Duke in for the 2020 model , just wondering what mileage are getting to a tank , as is only a 16 litre , keep up the good work, and make sure the fridge is always stocked 👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

She's pretty good on fuel now! I get from 280-300km to a tank of juice. Last week she averaged 5.1 litres to every 100km. My GT averaged 6.5 litres to every 100km.

[@ross5506]

I rode mine pretty hard got 240 kilometers. Was always into inline 4s last 30 years, purchased this cause of the comfort. I does vibrate a bit, compare to the other 1290R it's smooth, except for 6 th gear for some reason.

[@luckyleo88]

@HarryTheHurstDefinitely, it vibrates under 140km/h at 6th...getting to know my 2021 model which I got brand new few weeks back...in love with this beast!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Happy riding👍😜🍻

[@gsd32i]

Nice video, missing the beer burps though!

Looking the business Shawn 👍🍺

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Cheers Paul! Yes she's coming along nicely. Graphics to come, then she'll look the business✌😜

[@TomReinerDE]

Looks great. Should come as a standard.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It definitely needed something there at the front✌😜

[@adambrooke8611]

Get yourself an ABBA skylift mate. Proper lower back saver 👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I definitely need some sort of lift

[@dalehawkes1698]

TheLikeableRider speak to ABBA I reckon you could wangle one for the good of the Chanel ( & your back) 🤪🤣

[@ross5506]

Yes sick of sitting on milk cartons for over 30 years. There's another lift from Germany I think got 3 legs so you can move bike very easy.

[@highlandriders9696]

2 beer difficulty rating. Looks almost stock mate, great stuff

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I think I should have drunk 2 before i started😂😂

[@tadhgoshaughnessy6612]

It look very industrial .they could have made it from a strong plastic .i wont be getting one to hard to even mind that.great video thanks.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Its made of aluminium so is very light. Thanks for you comment

[@scottc3]

Looks great, but definately one of those jobs that needs at least three hands... BTW: I have to buy my own beer...

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I normally buy my own, unfortunately the wife wasnt there to defend herself.....so she got it 😂😂

[@Captndarty]

Because it’s so important to keep bugs off the header......

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Of course👍

[@Simon-ir7vo]

Where are you from in Germany because of the Bayreuther Bier 😂

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I'm not far from Osnabruck👍😜

[@paullee6663]

@TheLikeableRider is it really called a 'Bugspoiler'? Wouldn't 'Headerprotector' or maybe even 'belly pan' at a push have been more appropriate? I do quite like how SW Motech seem to like creating 'jigsaws' for you and AMC to assemble for our amusement before you get to fit them to the bike though! It all looks quality, but for the price they should be doing all that pre-assembly work in my opinion. For all that it does look a whole heap better.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yes that's the official name of it, and agreed it's a strange one! I like a challenge😜 I suppose because the bolts need thread locker, and needs to be lose for easy fitting, then pre assembling them wouldn't work. I do like a jigsaw✌😜

[@paullee6663]

@@thelikeablerider8800 Good point about the Threadlock! I hadn't thought of that. Sometimes I wonder how bikes didn't fall in bits before we had heard of 'Threadlock and torque wrenches...

[@garyduxbury8312]

Lekker ?? You from ?

[@l_speed8797]

Two things i have learned about TLR from this video. He understands proper application of thread locker. A bolt is not a donut, it doesn't need to be coated until it's dripping. Second, he has the patience of a saint. SW Motech would have been liberally cursed throughout any video i did for that stupid bottom bracket design. It does look good, though!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

😂😂 thanks buddy👍

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

I swear I should have been born British!! Grew up on Monty Python, love motorbikes and damnit, I enjoy a beer (or 2) in the afternoon!!

No problem at all😜

9 pints and give me a kit and I'll have a go, but then look at my baby in the morning and say sorry KTM I won't do it again.

[@derekholme6922]

Crikey I thought my GS took some sorting to my taste, has to be done though, well done on the fiddly install, graphics will make the job ! Just a heads up on my previous issues with Go pro and power bank, perseverance has paid off and quite happy now, you may be interested in an item to help using your GoPro in adverse weather, look at 3brpowersports.com Downside is shipping from US is quite expensive, not purchased any myself, yet, Cheers and ride safe, Derek

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I'll still have the issue of waterproofing the mic adaptor which is also attached to my helmet, yes the camera is then waterproof with this system, but still not quite perfect for us vloggers! Unfortunately we're still not catered for from gopro, the market for us is probably too small.

What would you do if a great company like SWMOTECH approached you, said you make great videos, would you like to test our products, would you turn them down in our position, I dought that very much!! I'm incredibly proud that so many companies have approached me as they like what I do.
