VIDEO STARS

If you've ever wondered about alternatives to Schuberth's proprietary comm systems, wonder no longer! Mark Barnes decided to put a Cardo PackTalk Black into his Schuberth C4 Pro and thoughtfully took photos of each step along the way ... photos which we've turned into this handy-dandy instructional video. Enjoy Mark's soothing, comforting voice in a walkthrough that's easy to pause and use as a play-by-play accompaniment to your own install.

Please note: This procedure is not sanctioned by Schuberth and may affect the warranty status of your Schuberth helmet. We can offer no tech support if something goes wrong, and Schuberth probably won't either. Undertake this operation at your own risk!

The Cardo Systems PackTalk Black comm unit Mark refers to in this video has been discontinued. Other units in the PackTalk line are available. Cardo Systems PackTalk 2nd Helmet Kit w/Sound by JBL: https://cardosystems.com/products/packtalk-2nd-helmet-kit-with-sound-by-jbl

In addition to being a regular columnist for the BMW Owners News, Mark is also the host of a podcast called "The Ride Inside," available on all major podcast platforms as well as online at https://www.bmwownersnews.com/category/moa-podcasts/.

Klim Krios Pro helmet review by Ron Davis

Welcome to the BMW MOA's Motorcycle Test Kitchen, where we try out gear, accessories and other products for motorcyclists of all kinds.

In this video, BMW Owners News Digital Media Editor (and MOA member, 'natch!) Wes Fleming walks through the install of the SW MOTECH Pro tank bag and mounting ring for the liquid-cooled R 1200 GS models, as well as giving an overview of the features of the bag itself. You can find out more about the Pro tank bag at https://sw-motech.us/products/luggage/tank+bags/PRO+tank+bag/, and don't forget that while the bag is universal, the mounting rings are not - so make sure you get the right one for your bike.
