Great demonstration ! Liked how you had the mirror so we could see how to install and remove . Great job and very professionally done! My husband and I always wanted a bike! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to you both
*I can say this is a great Foot peg, very comfortable. MY foot felt so much better after a long ride. It was a fantastic upgrade* IT still allowed the freedom for the main rider to move the passenger peg out of the way when riding single and not 2 up.
Thanks for the video. We found the standard peg rubbers rotated on the aluminuim part which did cause my wife to fall from the bike when dismounting. These should sort that issue.
Sorry, the code for the footpeg is 7587 on the puig site, but I don't found the code for adapter. On puig site I have read.....footpeg enduro it's no good for passenger because it's more largest. Please, have you correct code for the adapter? Thanks
@@Tim2Wheels I saw the links but for the adapter it goes to revzilla that doesn't put the Puig code. I need the Puig code because I want to buy it here in Europe
@@andreac.8560 - Andrea, the Puig part number for the adapters is 7249N. These are specific to fit this bike. I hope this helps you find the parts in Europe. Good luck with your project.
Hi Mike, I have been getting that question a LOT. I am planning a video to discuss the two bikes and why I made the change, but in the meantime here's a short version. I loved my KLR, it was a simple, rugged machine that would take me just about anywhere if ridden properly (not like a race bike). However, I found that more and more I was riding 2-up for longer distances and that is not where the KLR shines. I don''t think it''s fair to draw a direct comparison between these two bikes as they are really from different ends of the same spectrum. The GSA is a big, comfortable, and complex machine that gobbles up miles with an endless appetite and power to spare. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. The KLR''s economic simplicity has it's limits, while the GSA's complex sophistication is expensive, but worth it so far. It's taking me a while to put together the video because I wanted to get some time & miles on the GSA to form my opinion. I will never speak ill of a KLR, but I also want to be fair. Thanks for the comment and for watching. -stay tuned :)
I agree that you really can’t compare them directly, but I think you can discuss the pros and cons of each and what mission they are each suited to. It is interesting that I just came the other direction. I owned only Kawasaki’s from 1973 to 2004 and then bought a bike BMW K1200LT new in 2007. After 11 years of dealing with the complexity of the BMW and rebuilding the final drive, replacing the clutch, flushing a complex ABS system every other year, and on and on, I was ready for something simple to ride locally. So, I just recently bought a new, left-over, 2017 KLR as the price as right. I haven’t had so much fun since my Kawasaki 100 dirt bike back in the 70s. The LT makes dirt roads something to be avoided whereas the KLR makes you seek out dirt roads. In my case, I kept the LT as it is supremely well suited to our two-up long distance trips. My wife is not a fan of the LT as she feels like she will fall off the back. So, I just ordered a Givi Trekker 52 top case and backrest and the Mo-Tech top plate mount to fit it to the KLR’s rack. Hopefully, this will make her feel more secure for our local back roads rides. And I can pop it off quickly for my solo excursions. I am a big fan of both the LT and the KLR, but for nearly opposite reasons.

Thanks for the very timely and helpful demonstration, Tim. I'm about to source some pegs for my GS so that was useful. 👍
Hey Big Keith, I'm glad it was helpful.
Thank you for the comment and for watching!

@@Tim2Wheels thank you very much. Code is for passenger.....ok?
@@Tim2Wheels Is the same for the pilot?
How do you like the BMW GS 1200 to your klr ?
