Appreciate your content to help others (like myself). Question: did you run into any issues with the Right-hand side lower crash bar not lining up with the mounting points on my 1250 GS. I installed the Altrider skid plate and then went to do the Altrider lower crash bars. The left side lines up without issue at all mounting points and no force was given following their instructions on which to bolt up first etc. the Right hand side would not. If I follow the instructions and connect the top brace to the long frame bolt…then the top front to the frame and then go to the bottom front (threaded case mounting point)…the lower tube is off considerably. Everything is loose too (so nothing tight by any means). If I undo the top front bolt I can do the bottom front, but then can’t do the top front. If I take out the long through bolt so nothing is attached…I can do both the top front and the bottom front, but then the top tube won’t line up where the long through bolt goes (nor the holes in the bracket line up with the bottom tubes). I even sent pics and this info to Altrider requesting a replacement RH side lower (since the left aligned perfectly). Altrider was great and immediately got it out. I just went to install. Same exact thing with the now 2nd RH side lower. I’m now wondering if it was a bad run of a batch. I’m not finding anything online about any issues installing them. My friend has the system on his 1200 and said it went on without issue. My concern is even if I could muscle them enough to flex (which as you know would be hard due to how robust they are)…there would be such force on the bolts that an impact could potentially sheer the bolts and that especially makes me nervous about that front lower which is threaded into the engine case. Anyway sorry for the long winded detail. Just curious if you ended up challenges, sweating, swearing like me on the install. Thank you for your time.

Hi is there any video instruction on fitting the R 1300 GS Front Wheel Cover Extension (aka "Beak") please ?

Just what I need to see! Thank you!!! Love how you explain it.

Great vid - only comment is prior to tightening the hex bolts up fully - if possible take the bike carefully down the street to get the handlebars the most comfortable you want - then final screw down 👍🏻👍🏻

Awesomeness!

For the life of me i cannot screw the screws into the rubber. Go halfway then any firce damages the plastic nuts! Bad design by touratech in my opinion no need to be that stiff!

I know this is old but I just got this and remembered your video. So easy to install after watching your video. Thanks!!

Shaft protector

Just finished installing this on my 23 GSA. Thanks for the video. It helped a lot.

Can anyone help me with the upper OEM screws size on the Cowl ( minute 4:10) I need to remove the Puig Headlight Guard on my 1250 GS and put back the OEM srcews and I can't find them. I know these were T24 flanged screws but I need to size ( M5? M6? and what length) if someone knows please.

Hi I need to remove my Puig Light guard and I can't find the OEM screws I know they are T24. I am talking about the screws that fix the upper brackets on your video to the Cowl over the Headlight. Would you know what are the sizes of those 2 screws ?

Without the slider, the foot peg would protect the axle as well.

You need a new blade man lol. I got one fitted to my GS 1250. Looks good.

some extenders don't fit on some bikes, plz explain........

The oem spacer is aluminum not plastic.

Thanks!!

That was pretty easy to do.!! Thanks for showing...

$120 for this is way too expensive... As it is a sacrificial item, just buy one in China for a tenth of the price.

Nice explanation, thanks.

You don’t tell where the longer bolts go

It'll be a cold day in Thermal, CA before I punch holes in my $2,000 hard bags, ESPECIALLY for that measly amount of water! I admit the mount itself is pretty okay, but the method of securing the bottles (those dippy straps) is down right CRIMINAL! As for the bottles, they'd be about the right size for carrying extra FUEL (although I'd always worry about being rear-ended). Speaking of carrying liquids, seems Roto-Pack might have been better option (assuming one has come to terms with drilling holes in their cases). All in all, yet another example of Canadians being far too accommodating/polite. Your neighbors to the south would have a few choice words for those TourTech boys!

Well done, thank you.

If you look at tourtech brief video on it he is Turing it to the right ! You are correctly turning it to the left which makes sense since the hole size on the bracket decreases in diameter.. something is not right here, this should be the easiest part of this installation only taking 2 seconds and few other GSA owners are puzzled Just as I am.. we can’t line up or lock the bracket on the adaptor. The only difference is your have 3 holders on each side and I have the two ( smaller size).. any advice would be appreciate it

Having an awful time putting the bracket on the adaptor or holes not lining up and won’t turn to the right to lock.

I found using the original bolt was too difficult and not long enough. My printed instructions said to use only the washer so I used new, longer bolts that came with the lense. I think they changed their mind or had too many complaints so started to furnish all new bolts. I have the the GSA maybe that's a difference with the headlamp assembly but the lense and bracket is just fine.

Used this video together with the Altrider provided installation manual and it couldnt have been easier to mount the crashbars to the bike!

Great video. Dropped my 22 gs into a.mud pit. Dragged it put. Ofcourse the drive shaft has some character. Never knew this thing existed . Ordering one .

does it work though

*Three hand job* 😂😂🤣 nice video man love it

Do you have a solution for s1000rr?

You guys are awesome 🎉

Nice video, I would have preferred you included the video portions that were skipped. You mentioned you needed help for some of the difficult connections.

looks like the same product i had in boot camp??? after a week, na, not good on the plumbing

thx a lot for this excellent video. It helped me very much! Thx

Mantap Om

I didn’t see the spacers installed on the switch guart

I added a simple bicycle water bottle cage to my crash bars on my r1250gs.

Thank you for the video. How tight should the bolt studs be tightened?

Imagine trying to grab a bottle while driving

..just a question, why you didn't select the ezCan system?

Hi, noticed you have R&G the spindle protector too, did you take off the original cap to fit?? Looks like it leaves the seal and white stuff exposed to ingress by doing so?? I left mine in but it melted, can you let me know what you’ve done, cheers

Some info on tightening sequence and torque values would have been useful. This video has limited info and potential

Great video! I think this is exactly what my BMW 850 GS needs!

Are those bottles Thermo insulated by any chance?

Hi What is the torq of that screw the one in the side stand switch protection? Thanks

Alloy isn’t magnetic…

Well done... Just ordered one

Is it true these will void BMW’s engine warranty in case of any over-heating issues?
