I droped my yaw. Never imagined that, this can be done. Have to handle good in corners. I dont like it, but you did nice mod. My gs is mud dirt gravel .
No, it has to metal since the sensor is magnetic. If you can find a decent machine shop it's not hard at all for them to fabricate it. They charged me 40 bucks for mine.
@@3rdaxis649 no, I had to have it made because the ring size is directly correlated to how the bike reads its wheel speed. Which ties into everything else. Traction, cruise, fuel range, speedometer. So with the new wheel size and the original ring the electronics would fail and the bike go into limp mode. So I had to make a new ring with a ring pattern that was adjusted for the higher amount of rotations on a smaller wheel.
@@gonzo221 Yea i get what your saying. As someone that works in a machine shop I'm now wondering if it's something I should make available to people that are doing the same thing to their 850...
The wheels indeed look amazing in that colorway with the rest of the bike. I was wondering why the hearts of the wheels were not chosen to be re-used with other outer rims. Also curious on the costs of the wheels if you don’t mind sharing.
If it was out when I bought this maybe. Though the discount I got on this motorcycle was pretty steep. I bought this before the 900XR was even announced.
why you pointing at the rear speed sensor? The rear wheels are pretty much identical

Super!!! Realy cool!
Um... I wonder if a 3d printed version of the ABS ring would work?

@@gonzo221 Yea I work at a machine shop. That's a great price.
So you had to have that made because the bolt hole pattern on the hub was different?

Once that front fender is sorted it'll look pretty damn good.
Look forward to seeing how it turns out.
The front looks so funny with the massive mud guard, haha! Nice one mate! Post a video of you riding

Seriously no ride videos!!???
It's on the way!! We just got back from a short vermont trip on the bikes so I have a lot of points on it. I should be recording a ride tomorrow.
you can 3D print a new fender i think. 3D scan the original, modify the CAD and print it
dam i really dig this thing looks pretty badass, i think bmw should have done more of a dirtbike fender up front would look even crazier
Bmw f900xr?

Interesting the abs ring needs to be changes how dis it work have you got all the electronics back ?
Yeah, all the electronics work 100% after making a custom ring.
Cool 😎
No power. No brakes. No suspension.
