Turned My 1200xe Into A Proper Adventure Bike

[bjtid]

I was pretty disappointed is the parts for the 1200xe. So I had some custom bag mounts made.

Picked up a cheap wind deflector from Amazon along with a trunk. Got some decent large metal saddle bags.

So very happy with the finished product. Can truly go anywhere.

Looks mighty fine to me!

Awesome. That windshield looks fantastic. I have the Triumph 'large' screen. Large? Are you kidding me?

I think that 1 was 40 on Amazon. Had to use some small spacers for it to fit the headlight. Nothing drastic

Looks pretty darn good to me as well.
Great job kitting it out.

Wow very nice setup. I have ordered the large screen that I believe is for the street scrambler which I've been told will fit our bikes as well. Love your luggage setup and i'm guessing you had a local welder make panier mounts for you?

More photos please!

That windscreen looks nice! Do you have a link to it? I am looking for one to throw on in winter just to stop the arctic blast..

That is the exact top case setup I want! So my pillion can have a little back rest and we can throw our stuff in it. Do you know what rack and case you have? Thanks!

Great stuff Bjtid, I’ve also got a 1200XE and I believe that our bikes are severely underrated as adventure bikes, i ride mine every day including weekend’s, and on my holidays my wife and I tour on it, we love this bike. On weekends I ride it on dirt almost every weekend with a couple of mates, one has a F800GS and the other has an 800 tiger.
I have removed the side exhaust and I’ve replaced it with a twin system just like my Thruxton, a reverse cone muffler on each side, the reason why is simply for luggage because now I can carry my throw over panniers and load up the rack with tents, sleeping bags and everything else including food it’s a rippa of a bike

The exhaust looks great - is it a simple bolt-on from another model?

Looks nice, I'm afraid I'd have some creases in those cases from making my way thru the woods..
