Bradley Johnson It is such a great feeling to be out there with a herd TWs! Everyone is just as infatuated with the little Dual-Sport as I am! Very refreshing to see and hear! The home baked mods, aftermarket mods, and stories of how they came to be are priceless 😀
Dang man! Highly appreciate the video. I've been neglecting my Tdub lately because of that new Himalayan I bought. Because of your video I gave Bruiser (my black-n-blue Tdub) some much loved riding today. Thanks again!!
@@TillDeathDualUsSport Let me know if this campground would be a good staging area for Big Bear area. I don’t know where any of the trails are but it would be nice if they are nearby. www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232295 Thanks!
Yup! It was Alex! That was my first time meeting and riding with him. He manhandled that Ural all day! 💪🏼 Haha! Too funny man. I have zero interest in trying any of that gnarly black diamond Gold Mountain stuff! More power to the people who get off on that kind of crap!😆
@@TillDeathDualUsSport I was just texting him. I had no idea he had that bike. Gonna need to ride it! Lol. Easy ride at 6:45 tonight if you're interested.
Y'all are deep as fuck. I live in Riverside and the only TW200 I've ever seen was in a dealership. I cream my pants whenever I see another dual sport bike on the road and thats VERY rare.
Looks a lot like Penrose Commons in Colorado. It's cool to see so many TW's on the trail together on a ride. I just might have to organize a TW group ride here in Colorado when it warms up a bit and some of the snow is gone.
@@TillDeathDualUsSport I mentioned it to him a while back. We live only about 90 miles from each other. I have a couple of short clips from Penrose on my channel but most are on my girlfriends channel...ZenADVLady
Thank you!! This was my first "real" ride with the upgraded suspension! I'm bathing in new fork oil, and loving it 😆 It's a pretty dramatic difference, especially considering this is the only motorcycle I've ever owned and have nothing else to compare it to. It might as well be a KTM now in my eyes, hahaha.
Thank you! It was a great day! When it comes to the TW, anything to kill/dampen the vibration is a plus. The 714's do a much better job of that. I'm also starting to notice that I'm getting arm-pump again with these pillow tops. Probably going to sacrifice them and slice em off!
Great video! I just picked up a 1987 Tw200. Was a bit worried about taking it out Riding, but after watching your video not so much now. The bike is in pretty good condition, needs just a couple of things, simple things. But I would sure like to know what handlebars you put on and what do you did to your suspension cuz I'd like to do that to this one too. I am new to the TW. I do ride a 2015 CB500x too, but I wanted something a little smaller so I could touch the ground riding off road and the technical areas.
Being able to touch the ground was one of the main reason I opted for the TW 😁 It has been a HUGE confidence booster here in my first 2 years of riding! I’m using ProTaper ATV High bars. Link here. procycle.us/product/1443 For front suspension I’m using this kit in the .60 kg/mm variation. Link here procycle.us/product/1482 For the rear I went with 15 kg/mm spring. Link here. procycle.us/product/1475
Never seen one with a sidecar, nor am I aware of any aftermarket solutions. Might be nice for hauling a dog, or extra camping gear, but the poor little T-Dub will certainly struggle with 2 adults on board. Good luck finding one!🍀
@@TillDeathDualUsSport Thanks!! My bike's in the shop right now getting new gears/bars/risers/tach/grips, so I'll see about adding these, or maybe more beefy goodies in a couple of months. Snow's just started to melt around here, so no riding yet.
Forgot to mention that I also have heavy duty springs in the front. I bought the kit from ProCycle. Anywho, hope you’re back in the saddle, enjoying the upgrades, ASAP!
BeardedRancher No sweat! Suspension, A different front tire, and higher handlebars are some of the best upgrades for the TW. A beefier skid plate and LED headlight are great upgrades as well😀
You should have 80k subscribers for the quality of videos you put out. Keep it up man!
🤩🤩🤩 Thank you! 80k would be nice! Hopefully I can get to 1k soon 😆 Thanks for watching!
Great vid as always & caint wait fer tha suspension vid. Good job! & great riding! 😀.
That was awesome seeing all of those TW200s. I would love to see a video and walk around of all of the mods and upgrades to each of those bikes

Please add another trip to this area. Looks awesome and you did an excellent job with this video.
It’s mountain season now, so I’ll be back in this area within the next few weeks, and all through summer🤠

@@coldbay2005 Just scoped it on my Gaia maps. I’ve never been to that campground. I would recommend Holcomb Valley Campground.
Glad the suspension and bars worked out for ya. Big difference
Huge difference! Loving it 🍻
Nice , very nice👍 that looked like a lot of fun 😎
ride safe and keep well mate😉👍
It was a great day! Day 2 of the ride was even more adventurous, but that’s another upload 😉
@@TillDeathDualUsSport 😉👍
I want an 87! Great editing
The 87 was awesome looking!
TDub group ride, madlad brings a Ural, haha.
Invidious Ignoramus Lol, everyone was surprised when he pulled up!
amazing edit bro!!!!
😁Thank you! Braaaap!
Wait what?!?!? Was that Alex? He bought a Ural? This looked like a much more enjoyable ride then the crap my buddy dragged me out to!

MISS & CHERISH OUR OUTINGS TOGETHER!!!!!
The good ol’ days!😄
I would like to connect with you guys and go riding. I am a mountain and trail rider and I love my TDub! I am from the Coachella Valley.
Let's make it happen! We would be more than happy to have you join us next ride! I'm willing to venture out your way as well!

ThePhotofred Awesome! 90 miles is a nice little cruise on the Tdub 😁 I’ll scope those videos out👍🏼
good good
Fantastic video! When did you do the suspension upgrade? I remember you gettin' new tires but not the suspension.
Thank you!! This was my first "real" ride with the upgraded suspension!

@@TillDeathDualUsSport what did ya end up doing to the suspension?
@@ChromeArty Stiffer fork springs, cartridge emulators, and new straight rate rear spring. I will do a more in depth vid soon 😃
Great edit and what a fun looking ride! I'm curious as I have only used the pillow top grips, how are the 714's better?
Thank you! It was a great day! When it comes to the TW, anything to kill/dampen the vibration is a plus. The 714's do a much better job of that. I'm also starting to notice that I'm getting arm-pump again with these pillow tops. Probably going to sacrifice them and slice em off!
i want one so bad ! They are hard to find
Where are you based out of my dude
I'm in Corona.
This looks fun! Any groups up in northern California?
It's a blast! Not sure about NorCal. Best place to check is www.tw200forum.com
Has anyone’s TW’s bolts vibrated off? My footpeg and exhaust mid bolt have vibrated off
I lost an exhaust bolt as well! I noticed it while washing the bike. I always inspect and wash now😄

The maximum load on this bike how many kilograms?
I think it's somewhere around 180kg.
Does anyone know where I can get a side car for a tw200?
Never seen one with a sidecar, nor am I aware of any aftermarket solutions.

What were your suspension mods? I probably could use better suspension on mine, at 6-2 and 240lbs!!
I have RaceTech Gold Emulators in the front and a stiffer spring in rear.
I’m 5’5" 150 lbs. You should definitely upgrade at your size!

I bought the kit from ProCycle.

For the most part, music, good or bad, is an unpleasant distraction.
Jealous on the East Coast
What suspension do you have
BeardedRancher I have this installed. The .60 version. procycle.us/product/1482
BeardedRancher I also have the 15kg spring in the rear. procycle.us/product/1475
@@TillDeathDualUsSport thank you!!! It's good info for when I get mine next spring

@@TillDeathDualUsSport awesome! I'm sure I'll tweak it in time. Probably gonna buy one brand new, but who knows.
