Hello from Switzerland!

[Wohali]

New here—figured it was time to stop lurking and say hi. I’m based in Switzerland and ride a 2022 FTR 1200 S, aka my favorite money pit on two wheels.

This morning’s ride took me across Sustenpass, Grimselpass, Furkapass, and Gotthardpass—basically the FTR’s idea of a spa day. I’ve added a few pics below in case anyone needs a dose of mountain envy.

Can’t wait to see what everyone’s riding, wrenching, or breaking. Always up for bike chat, mod ideas, or just admiring other people's questionable financial decisions (in the best way possible).

Cheers and ride safe!

Beautiful photos and scenery! Welcome to the Forum!
I snagged a 2024 FTR 1200 last month and have been riding and modding it.

What are your first changes. I'm looking at replacing the mirrors with motogadget ones and updating the license plate to a side mount a la https://www.tankmachine.fr/en/licen...license-plate-holder-kit-indian-ftr-1200.html. I'll soon look at signal lights as well.

Hey! I've installed bar end mirrors, a Puig windscreen, Indian Rally foot pegs, Comfort plus seat, passenger grab rail.
I have a set of risers on the way from German as well!

Welcome! Nice bike, nice pictures

I originally installed Motogadget Mo-View glass less mirrors on my FTR, but I didn't get on with them, they were too small and just didn't suit the bike IMO



So I then installed Oxford Shield 360 bar end mirrors, which were way cheaper but much better looking with better visibility too

Those look good! I ordered similar ones from Amazon, and they are VERY nice quality for a great price. I just flipped them to the inside rather than out past the bar ends.

And this is the Puig screen that I purchased

Excellent fit and finish. The mounts use existing bolts and it protects the front of the speedo.

Switzerland is a good country to be a biker. Welcome!
