Did I pay too much for SE2 at auction?..Lets find out..?

#BMWGS #AdventureBikes #bmwmotorrad After months of working on this crashed BMW GS, I finally finished the mechanical repairs, but the cost, nearly broke me as you will see in this video. Also how everything comes together and the fails I had. From the first start-up to the final touches before bodywork, I push this GS further than I ever thought I could… but the real question is: Was it worth it? In this episode: • Cost breakdown of each repair • First engine start after rebuild • Wheel truing attempt (and fail) • New parts, second-hand finds and costing of each part, and a lot of patience • The real emotional cost of saving this GS If you missed Special Edition 1:    • Rebuilding my first Auction GS..did I make...   This bike started as a broken auction find, but instead of just flipping it, I’ve been pouring time, effort, and passion into making it my dream adventure machine. In this episode, I take you through the cost tracker of what’s been done so far, attempt my very first wheel truing (it didn’t go as planned), fix cracked plastics, and dig into the BMW repair manual to get things right. From small wins to big laughs, this is one step closer to seeing SE2 fully finished and ready for an overland adventure. If you’re into motorcycle rebuilds and or BMW GS adventures, then I hope you subscribe. Please let me know your thoughts because even my mind is not made up about this: "Would you trust a bike you build up yourself like i did here with SE2 to go on an proper overland challenge or would you rather buy or finance a new bike from the shop and have it worked on by others which mabe don't give you as much know how to handle unexspected damage on your trips, but gives you way more pease of mind when you start the journey because you know it has a clean title and a service plan from the agents? Either way, I get it, but I would like to hear your take on this? ________________________________________ Support the channel: Use the coupon code HERON@OVERLANDGARAGE to get 30% discount when you use this link https://carpuride.com/?ref=OverlandGa... to buy a Carpuride W702B CarPlay & Android Auto screen specifically designed for BMW motorcycles, which can be directly mounted on the original BMW bracket Use the coupon code HERON22 to get 18% - 22% discount when you use this link https://aoocci.com/?ref=yczivmtu to buy a Aoci BM6 CarPlay & Android Auto screen specifically designed for BMW motorcycles, which can be directly mounted on the original BMW bracket ________________________________________ 📖 Chapters: 00:00 How much I paid at auction for this 2018 BMW R1200GS, and the value of the bike 00:45 Damage 04:17 New Parts and Service kit and Fitting Handle bar - R1967 05:39 Fitting new Indicators - R1967 06:02 Fitting new Radiator - R1500 06:30 Fitting new Airbox and fuel mixture intake rubber - R1967 07:40 Fitting new Screen adjustor - R1420 07:50 Fitting new Lifting Hands - R200 08:13 Fitting new Clutch Assembly - R2250 08:20 Fitting new Multi Control Wheel - R1380 08:44 Fitting new Combi Unit Left with Cruise Control - R1380 8:50 Fitting new Break Master - R2513 09:07 Fitting new Heated Throttle Grip - R1500 09:11 Fitting new Combi Unit Right - R862 09:19 Fitting new Mirrors - R656+R656 09:26 Fitting new Hand Guards - R234 & Fitting new Battery and first start 10:50 Fitting new Steering Stabilizer Shock bolt on my BMW GS 10:50 Fitting new Front Mudguard - R575 11:25 Fitting new Exhaust - R1500 1:50 Fitting new Mudguard - R575 15:10 BMW R1200GS Service DYI kit - R2948 15:20 Bleed the Hydraulic clutch on 2018 BMW R1200GS 16:10 Bleed Breaks and ABS System with GS911 on my 2018 BMW R1200GS 17:55 Clear fault codes on 2018 BMW R1200GS with GS911 19:03 Refurbish BMW Tappet Covers 19:40 Wheel balance and Trueing on a BMW R1200GS - R800 20:04 Coolant on a BMW R1200GS 22:45 Oil and Sparkplugs 24:45 Engine Tappet covers on a BMW R1200GS 24:56 Sparkplug covers R287 and Wiring Covers R273 25:20 Carrier bracket and Carrier Rack R1311 25:40 Closure & What’s Next? ________________________________________ 🎯 What’s next?
