Lighting & Electrical / Re: Which turn signals work best?

What about this?



It's the European-style fender and rear LED light.  I imagine you could reuse your stock signals if you wanted to.  I'm considering one myself.  Here's another pic:



Nice eh?  The signals themselves may not be any more durable, but if you hit signals placed that high you've got bigger problems.

They sell them here (pretty cheap too): http://www.ktmtwins.com/ktm-690-parts/ktm-690-enduro-parts/lighting-headlight?product_category=538

Check out how much bigger the stocker is!



There's another tail tidy by R&G, but I've read some nasty reviews for that version.

Do I have to wear sandals while I swap the tires?  Thanks for the info!  Does the ABS on the 2014 complicate things?

Hi Tumbleweed!

I looked at the site; my compliments to your daughter!  I'm a bit nervous about the idea of messing with my fuel lines.  I was hoping to read the installation instructions and saw that they were still in development.  Could you post an update when this is done?  I'd like to see what I'm getting into before I make a decision to buy.

Thanks

"I just ordered a fmf carbon apex and a k&n filter last night."

Hi Auzzy!  Welcome!  Be sure to post a write-up on your installation (with loads of pics!)

Oh, and Rusty:  I think your auto-correct might have messed you up; no one likes being called "Fuzzy". :-*

"I've named her "Lorna," after my grandma, who turned 94 last week, and whose favorite color (and hair) is orange."

That's sweet, and funny.  I imagine her in a matching orange moo moo.  Congratulations.

I love the look of that pipe!  Did you have to modify the fuel map?  Did you modify the intake at all?

 Thanks in advance!

Hi Dave,

What was the answer?  I've been watching too.  Perhaps you could post a new go-by for everyone? ;)

Welcome to the Forum RJ!

Rusty Shovel runs the forum, I think.  He's done a great job and won't accept donations (I know 'cause I asked).

Hi Jly51,

They're in stock now.  Er...well, I should say that those of us who put money down are beginning to get them.  You may have a hard time finding one that's sitting around a showroom floor.

I just got word that mine is gonna be here tomorrow.  ;D

Welcome to the forum!

Is it this one?

For $86.40 it almost seems too good to be true.
