This video is gold. I mean, you usually see some videos on mods and all but not detailed like this. Specially on small parts like the fog lights protection.

I currently have Quadlock mount on my bike and absolutely love it. You can purchase a separate vibration dampener to it to eliminate the possibility of vibration damage to your phone. They also sell wireless charging pads to be attached to the mount. I'm currently considering buying it because of the hassle of charging with cables like you mentioned in the video. The only negative that comes to mind (not for me, but maybe for some people) is that you either have to buy a model specific phone case or a universal mounting piece (which you would have to glue or somehow attach to the back of the phone). My phone was on the list of specific cases and I use a protective case anyway, so it was not an issue for me. Also, the case and the mount itself is pretty sturdy and sleek looking in my opinion.

The Quadlock vibration damper is certainly worth a look - my current phone does transfer a good amount of vibration to the phone. Not sure how bad that is but I over time it will likely have an impact.

I also had scuffed crash bars. A grinder and some matte black spray paint made it look alost like new. Took 15 minutes.

That is a good tip - also for other parts of the bike that wear over time - the center stand is a good candidate ;-)

Great video! I settled for SW-Motech tank bag for my 1290S. The shape of it makes it much less in the way. From the same manufacturer I got the upper bar extension. Tipping over in Sestriere last year I realized that I had no protection there. The most significant "hacks" for me has been offset risers, and the Danish Boosterplug. Latter completely transforms engine responsiveness and behavior on low RPM. They don't make it for the 2021-22 model, down to Euro 5 compliance and electronics. I got it installed by a KTM dealer. It can be a DIY job, and good gudes exist. Highly recommend it to any 1290S/R owners! Cheers :)

Thank you very much - the Regina chain has about 16k km on it and it’s a mixed bag. I had to get the tension adjusted during my last 2 week tour. It did get some lubrication during the tune up. So far it’s still working fine overall

Good hacks. Questions- Does the Tour Tech provide vibration damping? My phone was damaged from a different mount having no damping. Second- Zip ties seem to not do well from UV sun rays. I found they tend to break down, becoming weak and brittle. Have you found some UV-resistant ties? Eric

The phone mount provides very little vibration dampening - good point about the zip ties. Probably good to keep an eye on them. There just stand zip ties I had laying around 😉

Thank you very much - I currently ride a 2020 1290 SAR - I am aware of the engine heat issue - though it’s rare that I even notice - it is most noticeable when going slow at high ambient temperatures with light pants like Jeans. I rarely find myself in situations like this 98% I ride with my baggy Klim Goretex pants and do not notice the heat. Also I avoid city traffic and do not commute with this bike 😉

Another good video! Just an off-topic question (sorry): What Oakley model (and lenses) ae you using? 😄 I need to buy sunglasses for using when i'm riding and i saw the Oakley Portal X. I'm a little (read: "a lot" 😆) undecided regarding lenses since i live in Portugal and, fortunately, we have really bright days here. I was considering going with "Prizm Ruby Polarized Lenses" but i don't know if they are good for riding (slow and fast) motorcycles in bright days, and also if the polarized lenses causes issues with the KTM dashboard and my Garmin XT. Thanks

Thank you very much Kurt - not sure what the model is called but the lenses are polarized. It is a love hate relationship. It makes the world look a little nicer - especially around water. However, like you said some screen are hard to read. I can read the KTM dash and the Garmin but cannot read the screen on my Sony ZV-1 (it is completely black). Also, if I wear the sunglasses and close the clear visor (not often that I use the clear one) I get moire effects. But the Oakleys are descent for riding as the wrap around the face and protect the eyes well - there are riding glasses that also have a foam cushing aroudn the frame which is even better (I have a pair from Harley Davidson with self-tinting glasses)

@@MotoVibes Great feedback; i was forgetting that situation regarding the visor. I can look to my OnePlus 7 Pro screen without issues with my "more casual" polarized sunglasses but if i'm not using a tempered glass protector. When i was using it, i couldn't see well and i always had to take my sunglasses out but now that i had to remove it (it had 3 years and was cracked on one corner), i can see. Probably it's the same situations as with the visor (even being different materials). Thanks, and sorry for the off-topic.
