Touratech Throttle Valve Cover

Heyya..

One of the Must Have accessories to be installed on the GS Adventure is the Throttle Butterfly Valve Cover..

It protects the Throttle Butterfly Valve on the left side of the air intake manifold, which is made of plastic.. if the bike falls on the left side, falls onto a big rock and smashes the throttle valve, that will be the end of the day for riding..

I bought the Touratech Throttle Valve Cover for RM180.00 from Sunny Cycle, who is Touratech distributor in Malaysia..

The installation is pretty straight forward.. Simply remove the original screws on the throttle valve..

Then place the Touratech’s Throttle Valve Cover.. and put the longer screws on.. The longer screws are provided by Touratech..

Now I don’t have to be worried if the my GS Adventure crashes on the left side and hits a big rock..

Also, it adds the bling-bling on the bike..

Touratech Crash Bar Pouch / Bags

Heyya..

Speaking of luggage on my 30 Years Anniversary GS Adventure, previously, the luggage set up were only a Hepco & Becker Top Box and a Motorrad Tank Bag.. These two luggage are waterproof and dustproof..

Obviously, i am not a side-panniers rider as i don't feel comfortable riding with side-panniers, although i have tried using them.. also, the longest duration i went riding previously for 30 days, having a Top Box and a Tank Bag is good enough..

Recently, I added another luggage to the R1200 GS Adventure.. they are Crash Bar bags.. they come in a pair (for both left and right tank guard) and made by Touratech and costs on RM350.00 at Sunny Cycle, who is now a distributor of Touratech in Malaysia..

I can keep additional road maps, spare gloves, a small mineral bottle in each of the bag.. it’s very handy and useful..

Installation is extremely easy.. Each bag comes with a strap and a pocket so the crash bar loop (D-shaped bar) can be inserted and secured properly.. Fasten and tighten the strap to secure the bag..

I have used them in heavy thunderstorm rain and they are 100% waterproof.. I have ridden at the top speed of 180 km/h and the bags hold the crash bar steadily.. No worries at all..
Now, my GS Adventure 30 Years Anniversary has 3 different brands for luggage bags; Hepco & Becker, BMW Motorrad and Touratech..

Touratech Camel Toe (Big Foot) for GS1200 Adventure

Heyya..

There few accessories upgrades I’ve done to my BMW 30 Years Anniversary R1200 GS Adventure and one of them is Camel Toe.. it is also known as Big Foot but I would prefer to call it Camel Toe..

Now, Sunny Cycle is a distributor of Touratech and sells the Camel Toe for RM180.00 plus installation..

Sometimes, when i park my GS Adventure at soft tarmac or gravel or sand, the standard stand would be sunk into the soft soil.. Hence the solution is to have a bigger surface area of the foot stand, thus, by installing the Camel Toe to increase the foot stand’s surface area..

The installation is pretty straight forward..

• Place the foot stand in between of bottom and upper plates of the Camel Toe
• Tighten all the 5 bolts and nuts, provided by Touratech

BMW Motorrad Tank Bag

Heyya,

Today, i have bought a BMW Motorrad's Tank Bag which costs RM 1,100.00 from Wunderlich shop... I need to have a tank bag because it is so convenient to have my PEN E-P1 camera, iPod, Passport, Wallet, etc in the tank bag... it also has a large Map holder, very convenient and the map won't get any damaged...

Good thing about this tank bag; it is waterproof and dust-proof... there is a plastic seal on the zipper so water nor dust cannot slip through the zipper...

Also, i can placed a full face helmet inside of it... Yes, it is a BIG tank bag...

HooRahh!!

Hepco & Becker Top Box

Heyya...

i went to Sunny Cycle last week to purchase a Hepco & Becker Xplorer top box... it is 45-liter capacity of top box and it is made of Aluminum.. it is super light and yet strong..

I've been waiting for the Top Case to be arrived at Sunny for almost 1 week as the last unit was taken few days before i got my GS Adventure 30 Years Anniversary... It can be seen all the boxes have just arrived at the shop...

The Xplorer line is a new and modern design of the latest Hepco & Becker case line... It is 'dust-resistant' and 'water-resistant'... and i bought it at Sunny Cycle for RM 2,000 for the top box and its plate (bracket holder).. the bracket holder can be seen on the top left photo..

I really like the design and shape of the Xplorer top case... it is lower, wider and more compact compare with Touratech top case.. Also, it looks gorgeous on my GS Adventure 30 Years Anniversary..

Wunderlich Handle Bar Pouch

Heyya..

I just came back from Wunderlich accessories shop at Jalan Sri Tanjung, Bandar Sri Damansara Kuala Lumpur... the shop specializes in Wunderlich, few other BMW aftermarket products and Garmin accessories.. most of the accessories being sold are meant for GS1200 Adventure, GS1200 and F800 GS...

Hence, i bought a Wunderlich's Handle Bar Pouch, which costs RM 180.00..  the purpose of having the pouch is to substitute the pouch around the waist.. The pouch can carry wallet, sunglasses, passport, travel documents, iPod, Blackberry handphone and etc.. Plus, it is waterproof so my iPod wont get soaked in the rain again.. Hahaaa

Some goodies i received for free from the Wunderlich shop... very helpful and friendly staff they have there.. Cheers Bro Hairi!! I shall go there again to get more Wunderlich accessories..

Apart of the pouch, i was eyeing on the BMW Motorrad's Tank Bag.. it is huge and gorgeous; can even put a small helmet inside of the tank bag.. The tank bad is very useful to keep my PEN E-P1 camera, Road Map and even few clothes... and it is Waterproof and the quality built is excellent but it costs RM 1,100.00 ... For GS1200 Adventure, the fuel tank is made of Aluminum, so none of the tank bags (with magnets) in the market cannot be used on BMW GS Adventure.. Definitely i will get this tank bag soon!!
