Superb video! I have just purchased the exact same RT and have been fretting over whether to fit the Wunderlich bars. Some reviewers point to YT for videos on how to fit them and yours is spot on. Happy riding!
Great tutorial compliment to the sparse instructions from Wunderlich. I'll be watching again while installing mine guards. Many thanks from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Thank you for the very detailed instructions. My Wunderlich bars are arriving today and, with your help, I plan to install them without any hesitation or complications. I especially like your heads-up with the R & R of the plastic parts. Greg from Sacramento.
Brilliant video/instruction. I just installed these on my 2022 R1250RT, and while not a exact match I was able to figure out the minor differences. Thanks very much!!!
Excellent video, thank you very much. I managed to put them on by removing only the first plastic cover, you will have to screw the upper part of the bar from the front of the bike, but it is done without problems.
I'm a little late, but nicely done! Your filming was excellent showing detail up close and your dialog was clear and concise. I have a 2024 model with my name on it coming in February. Hopefully sooner, because it's really hard waiting for it, haha. They are pretty expensive, but I do plan on fitting the Wunderlich bars as I prefer their mounting and aesthetics to the Ilium Works version, even though Ilium's headquarters is just down the street from me.
Finally got around to fitting mine. Excellent video, really helpful, especially the bodywork advice! Took me about three hours all told, goodness knows how long it would have taken!
Very good video.. I have some Givi bars to fit to mine and whilst I am sure they will be a bit different to fit, to these, this is a very useful video so that I have some idea of what to do/expect. The instructions that come with the Givi Bars is absolute rubbish. I cant find a video for fitting them on an R1250RT 19/20 with fog lights. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I have this one saved!
I wanted to install the front GIVI bars on my 2020 R1250RT; however, the issue is that my motorbike is equipped with fog lights, and the GIVI Bars do not have a place to mount the bracket.
Excellent video thanks. Just installed the same one on my R1250 rt 2021. I have hard time with the positioning of the bottom bolt the hole was not straight with the mounting bar. I had to unscrewed the first 2 bolts but even that was not able to aligned easily the bottom bolt. I finally succeeded but I was scared to screwed cross tread. Not sure why that bottom bolt was off maybe my mistake or a production problem.
Excellent video ! One Q though what’s the nM tension for the lower front and the top front I got the 54nM for rear but want to get the others right … cheers
Great video, very helpful. My only issue is the left side fog light wire harness is an inch too short. I haven’t figured out how to create relief in the harness to allow it to connect. I’ve removed a couple zip ties to no avail.
I just installed the bars on my 2022 RT and I have the SAME issue! Left side fog light wire is too short to reach the new position of the light! Did you find a solution for this issue?
@@adferrao4040 I guess we know it’s a design flaw. I order a set of fog light brackets, but they’re coming from China and won’t be here for another 2 weeks. I went to my dealer and they didn’t have any brackets and didn’t find anything I thought would work with a quicker delivery time. Here’s the description “2 Pcs Motorcycle Driving Aux Light Fog Lamp Bracket For 25mm Mounting Diameter”
Same issue here. The left side fog light wire is about an inch too short also, 2020 RT. Unless somebody finds a resolution to this design flaw, all I can think of is to extend it by splicing and adding two inches of wire.
I didn’t like how far forward the fog light was pushed using then OEM mount, plus i didn’t want to splice the original wire harness. I found mounts, from a company in China, which clamp to the crash bars. The wire harness is just long enough to connect to the fog light.
On the new 2021 RT these bars don’t fit without some modifications if transferring the engine bars from a 2019 1250 RT to a 2021 RT Good video helped me make the swop with help of a trolly Jack to modify the fit of the bars 👍
Can you send me a small description of your modification a how to cause I had hard time fitting the bottom screw was off the engine center screw hole. Thanks for your help
Hi Richard , all it needs it to be opened up , I did this with a car Jack which spread the bracket by about 5 MM or a bit less , just gentle pressure needed to spread the tubing , nothing dramatic just took a bit of setting up and alignment check , under rather than over stretch I decided as easier to open the gap than close it if over opened if you follow Hope that helps Stu
Many thanks - No these bars are different to the versions that fit the (R1200RT 2018: WUN-20380-101) R1250RT (WUN-20381-001) - This is according to the Nippy Normans Website here in the UK, but its worth checking with Wunderlich. - Good luck with the fitting!
Excellent video thanks. Waiting for my 2021 RT and waiting to see if the present Wunderlich bars will fit the 2021? Also looking to fit cameras, but unsure about how/where to pick up a switched live. Have you done a video like this on a RT or are you able at some time? Many Thanks Keep Safe
@@themotorcycleshed380 Hi thanks for answering. Wunderlich are still waiting for a bike to check. Hopefully they will know before the bike arrives so that I can order them ready. Looking to fit VIOFO MT1 cameras, also sold by the seller of the INNOVV K2 cameras and recommended by them. They say that they will fit the same as the K2 and are similar quality. Someone has suggested picking up a switched live at the front power socket, but this may be a problem as I use that plug for my Optimate?
@@SP-ek2qz there is a switched supply that runs the sat nav, it’s just behind the headlamp. It terminates on the in built multi contact garmin mounting point. If you are not running the Garmin sat nav then this would be an ideal take off point. Nippy normans in the uk sell a cable assembly that replaces the section from the connector to the multi contact mount. It’s designed to power ‘ignition on’ accessories. You have to take the screen and top section of central dash board off to get at it...
@@themotorcycleshed380 Thanks again. The cameras also have to be connected to the battery, so I wondering if there is somewhere under the seat to pick up a switched live please? Someone has suggested the rear light cable which is supposedly under the rear seat, or the rear power socket which although I haven't got, the cable should still be there? Keep Safe Steve P
I've not done the valve adjustment on the bike yet, will be post warranty when I start servicing it - but the forums suggest you can remove the covers without removing the bars - does not impede full service, but do please double check this.
do you loose much clearance? would the foot pegs still hit first? I'm not into racing around corners but I am concerned about clearance when adding bars. thanks for the vid.
I did some fast twisties here in the UK Peak District recently on the RT and didn’t have a problem with the bars grounding. Like you I’m not into the racing around corners but as the bike goes round corners so well I have certainly explored this side of its nature. I can’t say if the pegs hit first. I think the bars are worth fitting.
@@themotorcycleshed380 thanks for the reply and for the vid. I will be saving it. I will wait until march (not much riding now)but I am leaning toward installing them.
@@Davan514 Yes is the answer - there is a specific mounting point on the crash bar for the OEM Fog lamps - details are at about 3/4 of the way through the video

You have a best money value. The cilinder protection is important to prevent expensive damages to repair. Great Job guys !

Thankyou very much for good instructions. All done today with success :) /Anders, Sweden.

Thanks for sharing this instruction. Very helpful😊
Thank you very much it has been very useful
Very well done instructional video, hats off to you!
many thanks - the more I ride the 1250 the more I like it!
Finally got around to fitting mine.
Excellent video, really helpful, especially the bodywork advice!
Took me about three hours all told, goodness knows how long it would have taken!
I think the body work is the tricky bit in all of this! - Glad the video was helpful
Thank you for showing us.
Many thanks
Excelente explicación. Muy útil.
Looks very Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!

Do you know if the shown bars wiil fit on a 2018 R1200RT bike?
Many thanks - No these bars are different to the versions that fit the (R1200RT 2018: WUN-20380-101)

Almost certainly the 1250 bars will fit the 2021 version, maybe worth an email to Wunderlich.. what cameras are you thinking of fitting?

Hello how much nm ?7:20 50 or 15??
Great visual, but the audio is low and hard to hear..my phone volume is all the way up..jfyi..it may b my android..
Nice video, well done. What motorcycle lift are you using?
It’s a Clarke CML3, from machinemart here in the uk. Well worth having.. glad you enjoyed the video
What happen if you have OEM fog lights?
The ones in the video are BMW OEM fog lights. I could not say how NON manufacturer fog lamps would fit..
@@themotorcycleshed380 so you did relocated them with the crash bar.
@@Davan514 Yes is the answer - there is a specific mounting point on the crash bar for the OEM Fog lamps - details are at about 3/4 of the way through the video
Because wunderlich instructions were useless
