      I'm a little familiar with the Honda Shadows, it had carburators right? Nowadays with the ethanol fuels that can be problematic for bikes with carburators. The K100RTs were beautiful machines but some in were buzzy and got a little hot on the clutch side riding in town. The only thing to really be careful on the BMW 1100 GSs is has the plastic tank been replaced by a metal one . The plastic tanks were replaced by BMW under warranty because the paint would bubble and crack again because of the ethanol fuels . Thanks for watching

    This was a terrific video. I have a really nice Zard exhaust on mine, and have been thinking about de-cat and maybe a cam. Have a question about the ECU: I'm ignorant on this, so if this is dumb, my apologies. The bike has an auto remap program, as you know. Wondering why an aftermarket ECU would be necessary. If it is, would it benefit from a power commander? Would the difference between those options be worth it, performance-wise? Really liking this channel and hope you don't mind me picking your brain.

      The zard is a great choice. If you go with a to cam you will definitely need either a power commander with a Dyno tune or a dnktune for the ECU. I tried both and think the DNKtune for the ECU is better.

    Wouldn't a chest mount be the answer, I know you'll be tucking into the tank but it's just a case of angling it and setting the field of view correctly. Also try white balance and exposure settings and frame rate changes to avoid flickering.

      Michael changing the white balance and frame rate....😆😆 I might as well try calculus. I'll look at the chest mount but realistically I'm tucked head down most of the way. I will be experimenting with a mount I made later. If it flickers I'll touch base with you on some tips. I'll be using a Hero 8.

      Setting cameras is a real pain. I'm not sure how you can do it with this set up. It's almost like you need a sun screen perhaps over the top. If you have a old cell phone, it could be better than a go pro I think because of its "dynamic range" It's all a pain to set up.. Goodluck and will done to your friend for sorting the back nuts. What a fiddle!

    Great to see it comming along Jerry.And nice to see your getting the feel of the bike. Regarding the display camera, when it's mounted on right hand handlebar. Can you put the camera in spot metering mode and place the spot on the centre of the instrument. It may be that the camera has set exposure to average of all the surrounding image. In addition possibly shroud off external light a bit around the left hand side of instruments. But I know you are very detailed and have probably tried every possible option. Keep up the good work Jerry. Cheers

    Lots of prep and safety lock wire going on. Honestly that Triumph TFT display is awful. It was a complaint when I tested a Rocket. If it had the tablet like screen BMW uses there would be no issue recording the screen. Can you not run a data logger under the seat and just overlay the data on the video later? Sorry but the jousting pole looks super dangerous 😮

    • @flatcapcaferacer
      @flatcapcaferacer Před 16 dny

      Just experimenting with the pole and no intention of using it . The TFT is a little hard to read for sure . We probably will run a dongle for recording purposes but I'd prefer getting the sound and markers references from the camera.

    My tiger also had the same fault, 2023 gt pro. First they changed my tes sensor from warranty, after 3-4 months same fault appeared from time to time (especially after vibration for example taking the bike from main stand) . Last time my mechanic saw that the wires connected to tes sensor can easily move out the socket, he fixed them with silicone, the fault is totally gone. Maybe the info can help you guys.
