Vario Madness - Review, Repair, and Modifications

April 12, 2015/ Mosey Levy

Or, Everything you ever wanted to know about Vario cases, but were afraid to ask.

One of the beautiful things about BMW's Vario cases is that they can be repaired part by part. My case was recently damaged while parked. I ordered the one part that broke and replaced it. It wasn't easy, i made a bunch of mistakes, but I now know how to take apart the entire case and put it back together. On top of that, I also added Bungie Buddies to the top of them. This post is going in to good detail on how to repair them, and touch on modifications you can add to them.

Bash Plate

April 11, 2015/ Mosey Levy

This is a boring post. Just a simple bash plate bolted on with 3 screws. The only bit of valuable information that you can get here is that the bottom of the bike has three pre threaded screw holes just waiting for a bash plate. So nothing needs to be unscrewed to install this.

SENA Prism - Bluetooth Action Cam - First Impressions

December 06, 2014/ Mosey Levy

SENA announced a great looking camera a while back, and I've been anxiously awaiting its release ever since. It was finally released a few weeks back, i quickly put my Sony action cam on ebay, and the second it sold I went to order the SENA PRISM. I'm not going to do a full review here, after all I've barely had it a day. But i will give my initial impression along with some photos and video.

LED Headlight Replacement

December 06, 2014/ Mosey Levy

I'm not bright enough on the road. Its becoming more obvious to me this winter as its dark out early, and because my friend Yoshi has an R1200GSA with LED headlight and aux lights, he's bright as hell on the road and i want that. It feels like a safety issue.

F700GS Gerbing Heat Controller Installation

October 21, 2014/ Mosey Levy

I wanted to get this installed while it was still above 60 degrees out. Its about to get cold in NY. This is the same controller i installed last year on my G650 GS. I pulled it off the bike before i sold it, but last years installation worked out really well. This years came out better. It was simpler, and quicker then last year, mostly because it almost identical.

New givi wind screen and spot trace gps tracker.
Got the windscreen last week. Still waiting to get more experience with it before I write up my thoughts on it.
Got the spot trace just a few hours ago. Pretty cool so far. Will write up more on that after my first road trip with it. So far works as expected.

Vario Side Cases - Install

June 20, 2014/ Mosey Levy

Ok so this one isn’t much of an install, since the bike came pre-installed with the mounts. Thats usually the install portion of it, but to my surprise, the cases had brackets that needed to be installed on them.
