guess all of you have been captivated by images like this, in fact, already so, just look at your reviews travel and outings.
I certainly yes, it is very young, the itch of the great road trips and bike trail poisoned me, hit the road in search of unlimited horizons. But as it happens to almost everyone, the list of those that I have left to do is so long that I will not live long enough to carry it out.
For personal circumstances, I have a couple of years without leaving, or at most outlets of one or two days, but I have a desire to do it again, so I go the eye and the heart when I read some of your interesting projects.
As some of you know in September 2005, I could buy it GS, a partner of the forum, with the money I got for the loss of the Transalp.
This photo is from the day you gave me, I went to have a stroll by the Montseny Tourance had mixed wheels, BMW touring bags and a top case Shad 48 and the screen, larger than the adventure.
Here you will see no luggage, and change a little
The first transformation I did, after falling almost standing on was not done absolutely nothing, I decided to put the Touratech cylinder guards and a little fog guard image. Valentina Fazer of motostrail.com and I had been warned of the dangers of looking at this catalog, but the body is weak.
next step and especially for the winter was to put the Continental TKC-80, the image and much more acercádose change the image that I like.
Then he put the engine protection bars, to prevent further falling behind in the mud.
Lately, thanks to the fellow who is all Llull an engineer, and following his sage advice I have launched a series of initiatives and home transformations and useful: KUOTRETECH.
I removed the rear fender, putting a plate
and stand guard ...
The new look of the bike each time I like ...
arrangements This home is a vice ...
few days before having the sprockets with the Transalp had bought a Leo Vince exhaust, I loved how it sounded ...
The box with the newly-built escape was in the car park and the truth for several months did not know what to do with the ... I thought about selling it, even put a post in the forum of the transalps in case anyone wanted to take ... but I felt bad ... when I bought the BMW, not even thought about the escape, but an idea slowly took hold of my mind ... the truth is I thought it was a specific escape the Transalp, but could adapt to the BMW??
I made my inquiries and investigations, even wrote to the factory to make sure and Superbike oval exhaust is the same, the only thing that changes is the size and fixations ... Could it be that the diameter of the tubes do not coincide but the option existed, it was to have a little imagination and time ...
So one Friday afternoon I got to work ...
I took the exhaust pipe of the BMW and pulled out of the box the Leo Vince ... not wanting to actually remove the catalyst and the original silencer task was much easier than I thought, only had to provide me with a piece of tube 50 mm in diameter 4 cm. fit well to input and output tubarro catalyst / silent ..
The result you can see it:
And from the other side:
As you know the bike has not won anything in return, or at least to reduce nearly four kg weight, very little, but in terms of driving enjoyment .. . good is fantastic, the Leo Vince makes no noise, not an escape akrapovich type, or the like, not the sound is much more serious, like a deep purr, very pleasant and the feeling of going on a bike, motorcycle increased ...
Well, I know I need to polish the aesthetic detail of the connection is so homely as it is, but I have to travel to the city to find something to hide that connection, just cut and weld the bearing ... as I found nothing that would satisfy ma, I decided to give some paint heatproof those used in paint charcoal stoves and firewood.
to see what you think ...
the moment we'll leave it to see if I find something better ...
As I could not go on vacation, I could save a Eurolido I've invested to further adapt the bike to my tastes - not requirements - for although the R 1150 GS met all my expectations too well, we always want that something else ...
First I have rally since Touretech footrests, wider and comfortable to drive for long journeys on foot and ...
As you can see also the lift of the brake pedal Wunderlich ...
lever of change (change Koutretech) I have expanded with a piece of steel tube with a cuff which was home I was going to put the Kawasaki, so that the rubber do not dance steel I've put a bridle. Also
a lifting / About MVMotorrad handlebars.
With these ergonomic modifications, the truth is that the riding position and comfort, both circulating standing, will be subjective ... I have a feeling of control over the bike has won several points.
Some - the most Purete-berated me, "but they have not yet taken the stirrup rubbers ??!!", no I have not done yet ... llevava even when mixed and still do a lot more road tracks, when assembling the tacos - September-October - if I can ski outings and is the take away ...
a purely aesthetic transformation has been putting on the caps side Touretech yellow mandarin, have no utility, but in my opinion makes it more beautiful ...
Ah! and the most important transformation, as usual, is not seen ... I have placed a sports air filter, brand Blue (Green Filters)
that if that was a surprise ... not all bikes if the change is so remarkable, but in my case, I can say that the bike has become much more cheerful, lap up more easily, I think it accelerates a lot more, not if you've won something power, but the impression given ...
What does the propaganda:
filters for BMW "Blue" have been designed for us by Green, an experienced manufacturer and excellent production methods. They are manufactured to a high standard of quality while ensuring greater airflow. Is the best choice among the other similar products, the low pressure in the factory assembly ensures that there is a small amount of rubber to delve into the cotton sheets (more spillage = less filtering area).
Some features:
• The folds of cotton create a 10-20% increase Air filter. This allows a greater volume of air intake and meets the needs of combustion.
• Use 2 layers of tissue compared to other brands that use 4 layers of gauze. There are 3 benefits to woven cotton: it's thinner, holds oil better and stronger.
• rubber molds Blue filter are almost exact around the folds, maximizing the filtration area. The air flow is better than one of the same characteristics of injection molded.
• Blue filters are coated with oil, creating a positive magnetic charge in the mesh, which attracts particles negatively charged dust. Dust and dirt builds around the mesh to form a tunnel, allowing the cotton to remain cleaner for maximum airflow.
• Maintenance every 50.000km, or once a year. In tough conditions, you must clean after each use.
• design folds, the folds are parallel to the width of the filter. This makes it more rigid, reducing air leaks.
• Stainless steel mesh.
• Adaptive Edge. Boxes, plastic air filter may lose or distort the original symmetry. The contours adaptive focus properly sealing the filter.
• Easy to install, just replace the original with Blue.
• One million miles.
• Adhesive warning not to pull.
I do not know if all the bikes the result is the same, but the filter change I recommend it very much ... There is an over-investment, you have to 1,000,000 km filter, it says the propaganda, at least, if only truth in a 10 part compensates you and annual changes and the change will not say it is spectacular, but at least it's a big surprise really, really nice ...
Well, all pigs dog has his San Martin, we say around here when something seems to be finishing strongly ...
a few days ago I finished the draft of my GS aesthetic transformation, with the addition of two improvements to consider essential view of performance. I located
preowned Ohlins shock absorbers of a colleague who is havia Adventure Canvi his wonderful 1150 for the 1200 Adv. have something else to run about 4 cm. making it more comfortable and safer driving especially in off-road a few miles of use, lifetime warranty, reasonably priced, you know the Ohlins shock absorbers are not the best the world, but ... Showa mine also a source, already had the same kms. the bike, and although they are still well worth saving before it spoiled for tomorrow, who knows if I will follow the example of that I sold them.

Behind:
The more things I make myself to the bike, the more I realize how well thought out is to make everything easily accessible, logical and easy, no wonder she has been so successful among travelers, adventurers seeking make long journeys in places where you need to make some fudge.
And the last change was the placing of the halogen headlights Wunderlich home ...
I have connected to the short with a switch ... If you already know ... is not legal to say ... in any case should be connected with the long, but one of the ore obvious defects of Gs, the light, or rather the lack of light at certain moments when you most need it, ie, gives a powerful light bulb light line, but very narrow so that when entering corners, the sides left in the dark with the consequent danger ... with long light is more than enough but of course dazzle to vehicles moving in opposite directions.
For my part I say that every day in the dark circle in the morning and afternoon one day, so I had to find a solution. if I stop the Mossad or the GC, I explain, they know better than me, and if they are fools, as desmontaré ... and the next day ... assemble them again.
here you can see the light they give, I have focused somewhat lower than the main light to illuminate the ground a few meters of the bike:
far
this is the story of the aesthetic transformation of my GS, I know there are colleagues who do, have done and make changes much better and more radical in their mounts, achievements are obviously much higher than anything I could dream of doing, but you should consider that I had hardly done anything mechanical or motorcycles or cars I've had so far.
the moment I have run the "quarters" no ideas, when I can I remove the front fender, but I have to find ways that water and mud will not discharged directly into the engine and my boots / pants
do you think, I like how it has been? It's been over a year of small changes, to ensure that the aesthetics of the bike is closer to what I wanted ...
As you pick up Eurolido few hundred more, I have designed two changes, a ceramic clutch disc and perhaps the camshaft of the R 1100, but for now this is the history.
As always I hope your comments.
