2013 BMW R1200GS

Twisted Project Build

You don’t always have to buy a brand new bike to have a great adventure. Below is the parts outline for our 2013 Twisted BMW R1200GS. We outfitted this bike with plenty of auxiliary lighting, protection parts, luggage, and ergonomic pieces to make the bike more comfortable and safer on the road.

Lighting

Utilizing the Denali CANsmart plug-n-play accessory controller for BMW R1200GS, we outfitted 3 pairs of auxiliary lighting. The Denali D2’s were mounted on the crash bars, the D4’s were mounted in the standard auxiliary light position, and the DM’s were mounted just under the headlight. In addition to these very bright auxiliary lights we added a pair of the DRL Daytime Running Lights to the lower front forks to spread the light evenly throughout the front of the machine, making it easier for other drivers to notice you in traffic. As if they won’t notice you with all these lights on! We finished off our lighting setup with the B6 tail light in the rear.
