Put a cool cover kind of thing mesh on the seat, is a mesh that can let pass air under your bumb and removes the heat and if rains will displace the water so you don’t soak your pants and because has a mesh has a cushion too. In hot days you can put a bit of water and will refresh a lot as soon as you start to ride too.

You should rattle can the crash bar gold like the rims

If you get the Mosko Moto Reckless 80, it will flop around and you can get rid of the extra weight. NiceCNC makes a great mount for the front tie down that lets you get rid of the passenger pegs.

Old thumbnails were fine. The AI ones come off low quality but these videos aren’t!

Add a CarPlay/Android auto wireless adapter now they are some so small that can go inside the rubber cover, and you will have maps, music, etc. around $20

Is that the 21 inch front wheel, or 19 inch?

What about less euro 5 crap and letting the machine breathe? Anyone knows a good remap with a full exhaust?

Where are you filming at? That’s a cool fire road with a creek crossing right off the main road. I’m in Acworth GA.

What's your map device, is it hard wired?

Excellent and informative video! Curious how the Carpuride screen is mounted. I have the same on my Transalp but currently mounted to the handle bar.

Happu 4th! Will you buy and or get a 2026 transalp with E clutch to review? Another video idea for those with a single bike, keep a dualsport or sell and get a midweight adv

Please let me know the locations and routes you use to create these videos—I live in northern Georgia and would appreciate seeing the places you’ve visited, or perhaps a video highlighting various routes you’ve taken. Thank you.

What handguards are those? Barkbusters?

I was looking at a new Africa Twin today at mountain motorsports in Marietta today, my brother and I stopped by to see if they had any of the new T7 World Raids. He has a 25 T7 he is wanting to trade in towards it. I ride a 24’ KTM500EXCF. I like that AT for more road comfort and off-road as well, my KTM 500 is great but suffers on the highway.
