Good to see you kept the engine, frame and gas tank.👍🏻
I'm with you, wth
Now that was funny....
What a fucking beast of a bike. Your the man for actually doing what so many of us only fantasize about.
Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing, you are an asset to us AT owners.
I've been binge watching your videos and really really like the quality and content. Great AT set-up. It's obviously not your first rodeo. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate that!, thanks for watching
Best Africa Twin that l have ever seen!Really, really cool looking one!!!Fair play to you pal🔥🤙
You have an awesome bike. The upgrades you did are really cool, thanks for sharing.
Great Video for a person that curious about the dual sport world.
Thanks for sharing your mods! Very nice bike!
seriously awesome vid !!
Cool walkthrough on all your mods. I don't own an AT but I like to watch videos where people have modded functionality into their bike. It gives me a lot of good ideas, thanks!
+Pat Youells no problem. Thanks for watching
This is an awesome mod vid! I just picked up a single owner '17 with 16k miles. There's not one mod on the bike, so I'm starting from stock. Lots of ideas here. I'm subscribed! thanks
Love the bike build! Thanx for sharing 👍🏼
Looks like my kind of channel. You sir, are a great gear tester! Subscribed !!
Loved the Video man! You've made it like a tank and im jealous and drooling over it. You've spend the money but you ride the thing(most people dont ride them).Keep riding , stay safe!
+Konstantinos Sp thanks! I appreciate the compliment. Thanks for checking it out.
Fantastic bike. Ride a GSA myself, but have made similar mods and the bike just keeps on going no matter what gets thrown at it! All the best. 👍
Thanks so much. It really is all personal preference. Bikes today are so capable.
That’s a truly awesome bike dude!
Definitely do the valve video. Great run down of the mods you have done thank you for sharing.
+Shane Ruth will do. Hoping to get that one done sooner than later
Awesome video!👍👍👍
That was epic bro. Nice job.
Wow! Thanks for a great video and all that awesome info.
what an awesome bike!
Great video!
AWESOME setup dude all mods you've done are very practical and improve the bike even more
+wade rogers thanks, and thanks for checking it out 👍🏻
This is amazing. Extremely helpful to see real mods that stand the test of time on real adventure riding. Gives me great ideas. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, glad to help
Dude awesome video. Literally just picked up my 18 AT today. Love it.
Awesome man congrats!!
Hey Man, Thanks for the awesome vid....learned a lot which is helpful as am entering the adventure sports world of biking. Much Appreciated.
Thank you so much for that video. Just got a AT and that give me some idea.
Glad you did this, was nice to see an over view.. and id defiantly love to see a valve video. now i have to ad some more to my AS
Thank you! Will get a valve video out sometime for sure
Been looking into getting one of these bikes I have a Mt10sp but starting to head to adventure bikes an it seems its never let you down mechanically
love how scratched up the guards are, blinkers taped with gorilla tape. He actually rides this thing! I thought I was dropping my versys a lot... Ya. shows you what protection you really need. Be proud of the battle scars!
This is exactly what I had envisioned for my AT. I got most of the way there and eventually sold it and got a KTM 990 Adv R, which I prefer. The AT however, is one of the best motorcycles I have ever owned. Great job!
Thanks! Ive always loved the 990s as well. Almost got one before the AT.
Love your Videos. Very informative. Great source of Adventure Riding Information.
Much appreciated! Im trying to put more videos out for everyone right now with the COVID and all. Helping to keep the sanity. Be looking for videos Mondays and Thursdays
Beauty set-up, man! Love it!
Thanks!, And thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe for more to come soon
Great vid. Mine is 2017, but I bought it in 2018 and am still figuring out everything I want to put on it. This video helps a lot. I have the touratech crash bars, so matching skid plate is my option, but all the other stuff you have looks great. Thanks for making this vid.
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped
Awesome changes and the exhaust is a must,it sounds like a beast, enjoy your ride
Sweet mods bud. Very nice.
Amazing job brother, thanks for shared all items
No problem 👍
Ultimate Mod , It`s About 3 Years Mate, WOW
Really nice and well build bike, which looks like a tank and can go anywhere.
Nice review and great looking setup
Amazing bike ❤️
Great, honest video. Love to see those BDR stickers.
Glad you like it, more videos like this to come.
Great video, thanks for posting it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Solid review!
Thanks for watching
Glad i came 'Across' your Video! Very Extensive Mods..on you 'TWIN'! Great Advice on Your 'Experiences'! ..would 'Love' to Have an African Twin someday!! Cheers Canada!
Extensive mods. I don't have an Africa Twin, but it was still a very interesting video. I wish Honda made a smaller Africa Single. 😎
CB500X with Rally Raid mods.
Watch for Trans Alp news also.
@@479_adv I've been reading for a couple of months that the Trans Alp is returning. It'll probably be a competitor to the Tenere 700. I'm thinking smaller, lighter, simpler, less expensive.
This deserves more views. I own the new 2020 dct electronic suspension adventure sports and have modded mine out a little. So many great ideas In this. Great work thanks for sharing. I love these bikes !
Your bike has some stories to tell. !!
I have the same bike. A lot of the mods aren't necessary. Take a good off road riding class and enjoy the adventure
@@ericpiotrowski2148 to you perhaps. Personal taste.
Cheers man... Awesome mods and very practical...
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching
@@backcountryadvmoto like??? I love them... Take care
Nice video. Great mods.
Good mods. Gave some great ideas on the KTM as well. No comments allowed from me on the weak hands - 22 years with the USMC/USN combo and you''d kick my butt all over those twisty dirt roads. Good vid. Thanks.
Great video thanks!
You're welcome!
Your very passionate person. All the best for feature
Well done everything great look. More adventure potential.
GW-catalyst more to come for sure! Thanks for watching
!!!! Solid Gold Review! !!! Congrats buddy!!!!!! Hugs!!!!
+Jose Aguirre thanks! Thanks for watching
Great video. Thanks
You are welcome!
Awesome set-up... 👍
sick set up!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Do you have a video about your exhaust mod and power tuning to match? Love the content! Always entertaining and informative.
I like your bike, I,m going to buy one too.
The best bike so far.
Greatings form Holland, Amsterdam
Superb, thank.
Thank you too!
I own a 2016 silver AT, so now I have an idea on some additional mods! Yours is well done, especially the Olins plushness! I’d enjoy watching you perform a lash adjustment, if it’s necessary...it may not be, Honda baby!! Enjoying your content bud!! ✌🏼
Thanks for checking it out. thats the main reason Im on the fence about checking the valves, because im pretty confident they are perfect still lol. Glad to help with the ideas. more content rolling out soon
Great Video .I also have a 2016 AT DCT. with so many after market mods I Can't Count.
+Michael Sloan hahaha yeah it adds up quick. There is a point where you just don’t care anymore haha
That's quite possibly the most absorbing and original ADV bike build overview I've seen! I like that it's not a Dakar clone. Highlights for me: the terrific handlebars, the centre stand linkage shield, wheels and suspenders plus the clutch upgrades. Is this the only comprehensive AT build on YT?
Great review
I’m gonna buy me one
That is one Wikkud setup, really enjoy your content man, I have only just recently bought a pre owned but solid AT and my list of gear to get for my 2016 AT is growing significantly longer after discovering your channel..... and thats great, its one of the greatest pleasures is building something strong that you can use and enjoy fiercly!!
I am very thankful to you re shock and fork intel, as I had a suspension 'expert' nearly convince me to go Nitron (tagging their 'lifetime warranty' clause which I must admit was a good hook) over Ohlins, but lets face it, I only listen to you when it comes to all things Africa!!
So Its the Ohlins stx46 Adventure rear shock for the WIN!! (I assume you are running the same)
I cant wait to fit it as my stock shock rear SAG is at 85mm dialed right the way out hard with only 90kg (rider plus gear load)....... brutal, I would imagine my springs shot and my oils gone to dishwater.... can you please comment on any specific benefits of the Ohlins Rear shock (when compared to stock or Nitrons?)
Thanks again, I appreciate your valuable intel mate..... oh yeah, how many miles have you put on your machine?
The Ohlins rear is hands down a better shock. Its more reactive and doesnt overhear offroad like the Nitron. Just make sure that the Ohlins is tuned to you and not an off the shelf model if you want to make sure you get all you can out of it.
Hai from Bulgaria.You have a perfect adventure motorcycle.
vasil topalov thank you!
Dude I just saw they make a role cage with integrated trailer hitch!! You’ll be complete!! Just play’n. We all got our vices. Cheers brother!
Captndarty haha! Thanks for watching. That’s about the only thing I could add I’m sure haha
My 2018 Adventure Sports is a very similar build. So far I have the full OUtback Motortek crash bar/Skid plate combo, Altrider headlight, voltage regulator, and clutch guard, Barkbusters, Doubletake mirrors, Camel high fender, and Black Dog pegs, and Giant Loop Fandango tank bag installed. I have the Ohlins Cartridges and rear sock on order at Konflict.
Only have about 40 miles on it so far, snow is just starting to melt here. Can’t wait for the trails to open up here in the UP of Michigan and Northern Wisconsin!
Sounds like an awesome build. I’m waiting for the snow to melt as well.
This is awesome man. I especially appreciate how hard you are on yourself..lol
I appreciate that!
Just stumbled on to this vid by accident and was super impressed! I own a 17 AT and have installed some of the same mod's as you have, but yours are far more extensive. Your testing knowledge is fantastic. I completely agree with the Outback crash bars, by far the best money I've spent so far and a fantastic company too. You've given me some things to think about for the future for sure. I think my wallets going to be crying in the next few months lol. Subscribed!
o7 CMDR
Great vdeo
Great video thanks Mate. Öhlins forks are my dream... Subscribed 👍
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for the shoutout! I'm stoked to hear that our products have done their job thus far.
Our pleasure!
love the vid, got my twin four thousand miles ago.lol last sept, never liked honda but love the twin
Nice set-up dude.
Thanks and thanks for watching. Make sure and git subscribe so you know when new weekly videos are released.
Liked and subscribed! Great video and channel. Im looking to upgrade my AT and this has helped.
Jimmy Meatwhistle glad it could help 👍🏻 thanks for watching and welcome to the community 😁
great video .. than you for making it
You are welcome. Thanks for watching
너무 멋있는 튜닝 바이크입니다. ^^ 저도 2019 아프리카트윈 어드벤쳐 스포츠 타고 있어요
Hey mate. After a while my clutch hand would stop working and that was with a hydraulic clutch. So I got my self a
Clake one light clutch. They are amazing.
Only uses your pointer finger, mine has never clamped again. Fantastic buy.
Jason Fryers hey Jason thanks for the info. So far I’ve had no issues with the hydraulic clutch. I have friends who have the clake on other bikes and they love them as well. At the time I don’t think they were made for the Honda, but good to know they are now
Jesus. This is a dream build
Bought it in 16 new, added skid plate, crash bar and the rear rack for the Honda luggage boxes and many extras... It's one of the best enduros I've ridden.
Agreed. I preordered mine in 2015 and was the first person in the NW to own one. My serial number is 122 😃
great video amazing help my a lot thanks
Glad it helped!
OT1H your Honda AT is now a $30k bike.
OTOH you're now able to give us good info on a whole bunch o' mods, even though most of us would only get a couple of those for our own bikes.
Great vid!
Mark Stach I’m not sure it’s that much, but defiantly ads cost. I’ve been fortunate enough to have most of these sponsored so I can give R&D, and help improve if needed. I ride my AT harder than most and have but these through their paces. Ive had all of these on for months if not years and would not back them if they didn’t work for me. Thanks for watching
@@backcountryadvmoto And I too grok that autoincorrect can be frustrating and often hilarious 😁
That's very impressive what you did here...
Thank you for watching
I've got maybe 1/2 the stuff on my '17 than you and I thought I had a problem. LOL. Nice farkling overall and all very practical and useful for a guy that appears to beat on his machine (as God and Honda truly intended!)
The valve check would be great have a 2017 myself throttlelock was greatalso
Nice setup! I have mostly alt-rider. It came with lower crash bars so I figured I'd stay with that brand. Don't ride like you do by any means. This is my goal though. Did dent my skid plate enough to dent the oil filter. Guess it did its job. Thanks for the video.
Nice AT Build . One of my Best Mods to my AT DCT was EBC HH pads and Galfer Steel Braided Brake Lines They make all the Difference in the World.
+Michael Sloan same! They really help with the breaking for sure
@@backcountryadvmoto I have been interested in getting some Galfer Brake Lines. They seem to only come in unfinished steel color. I'm hoping to find black ones to better match the bike. I see yours are black though they don't look braided in the video so maybe you put them on after the video was made. If you were able to find black braided lines, can you point me to them? Thanks again!
First vid I've seen. Subbed. Hoping to get an AT Sunday
I got it. Damn. Mods are expensive.
so much money in this bike!! i love the setup
Moto Sly thanks for watching! Yes there is, but I’ve been fortunate enough that many of the add ons are sponsored so they didn’t cost many anything in trade for R&D and reviews because owned the bike since the week they were released as well as my riding style and abuse I put the bike through.
@@backcountryadvmoto no worries my dude, i subbed after this vid!!
Moto Sly awesome! Thanks and welcome to the community. If I had to add it all up, it would probably be ridiculous lol
Another awesome video. I haven't had any issue with my 2017 AT as well except I just blew a rear wheel bearing and blew both front fork seals last fall....but that is to be expected with 32k+ miles and me not going east on this amazing bike
Thanks for sharing, I went though fork seals on my original forks at 5k miles, but I didnt exactly go easy on them lol. Havent had any issues with bearings yet, but I have about 12k on the wheels so I may be replacing them by the end of summer just as a preventative measure so they dont fail me on a trip.
good review. I am thinking to go from T7 Yamaha in new Honda Africa twin
thanks very much nice bike thanks good luck
Thats one bad ass bike man!
+LoneRider Travel Diaries thanks! And thanks for watching 👍🏻
Backcountry Adventure Motorsports for sure bro!
LoneRider Travel Diaries I just checked out your channel. I’m digging the branding and the thumbnails! I’ll be checking out your videos for sure!
Backcountry Adventure Motorsports thanks a lot man! Means so much! 🤟🏻❤️
Mad max machine
Nicest AT I've ever seen!! I recently installed the Galfer SS lines made a big difference love it. How many miles you have on your bike? Thanks for all the effort and great content
Good bike. I got a 2017. With all the upgrades you had to have doubled the cost of the bike. I got outback motortek guards, racks and skid plate. Dunlop trailmax mission tires. Camel adv foot pegs. Gonna get camel adv peg brace and console brace. Costs add up quick
New AT rider here. Thx for all the info. 2022 model, breaking in the human to a new horse is always a chore. Be safe. Blessings
Aweosme! You are going to love it. I’m here if you have ANY question or if you make it though Idaho let’s ride 👍🏻
@@backcountryadvmoto I’m in the Boise area. Would like to hook up with you and ask a few questions.
@@dydjm I’m in Coeur d Alene
Until you wrote a lot of hours off road no one will truly know how hard the clutch can become thank you for your videos
Exactly! Obviously i'm joking about the weak hands, but when you start to get tired everything starts to slow down and you start making mistakes and thats when the bike or you start to break.
I don’t see any original Honda parts left on your bike 😁😁😁 Nice modes.... Thanks for sharing.
That bike looks like its seen places :)
It has 😉
