I had to ride to Bedford, PA from Baltimore, MD yesterday. Instead of doing the 150mi of highway that Google Maps suggested, I opted for 250mi of perfect back roads.

When I bought it

As of now

My new UGS. Pretty much stock. Still sorting out the shock settings.


Mounted the Unit Garage rear rack , top case and bar risers. I installed the top case key unification kit so you can install the BMW tumbler, so one key fits everything.

I dont recall the mfr of the engine bars. I was going for the old school look on those.

Love this thread. Sadly, all that I can add is that I have ordered a 2022 UGS but it won't likely arrive before March. But I am researching and scheming for accessories that I want, so this thread (and the forum in general) are a great resource.

custom seat for my UGS. done at the local shop. cost me RM250 (around USD60). feels much better than the stock one. i think darker color looks better on rninet. never liked the orange cover 😂

Picked this beauty up in early November and I haven’t been able to ride it much, but the little I did, it’s been amazing!
Have crash bars I need to install and I’m doing my diligent research about a suspension upgrade...the only thing I don’t like about this bike is the low rear end, it needs to come up a little...

This one is mine now. Thanks to the previous owner, I’m well sorted out for mods and improvements.

Yesterday, my second day with the bike and I stopped after practicing in a parking lot for a pic. (Not my skid marks! )

@Better By Cab - nice one, you have me drooling for the UnitGarage fuel tank

Had this pic of me taken by the boys at #Bikerpics last weekend. Love it and a shot from a perspective I rarely get to see…

Thanks!

I don’t have a good feel for the range of the larger Unit Garage tank just yet, but more gas is more gas.

I did read over on ADVRider that the reserve “light will come on at 165 and it is empty at 256”.
Any comments on the standard tank range?

 

[blbace]

well, they are going to be metric, I'm afraid Regular TUrban tank holds 17 litres, UnitGarage Pars Dakar is supposed to have 22,5 l capacitiy . With my 17 litres I always get at least 200 km before the counter starts going backwards (i.e. reserve) but usually I am at around 230 to 250 km before that happens. On road, that is....

Thanks for the conversion practice! Looks like somewhere between 50-60 US MPG roughly, so many another 50 miles is the difference from the standard tank range.

Thanks for the information! Danke!

Very nice!, if i may ask; which lock is that? and how did you mount it on the bike with what bracket?
Been looking at solution to take a lock with me..

TKC80s on and what a transformation!
I wanted to go up Mt. Lemmon today but I'm not feeling great...but I'll try during the week and test tires and bike on some of the rough roads up there

I got this 4 months ago.
Started taking it off-road a few weeks ago.

I feel for you. I just picked up my UGS two days ago, now the weather forecast is rain and snow for at least a week.
