They are the Hepco Beckers that have been modified to fit. Need somewhere to mount my D2s, highway pegs and 990 bags ya know!
Are they touratech headlights? I saw your photospread on lights (very good) how do they compare to the euro lights for spread / output? Cheers David
Yes, that is the Touratech headlight assembly. Haven't had the chance to check in the dark yet (only had it running again Thursday evening). I'll see later if I can setup in a similar position to how I did the Euro tests to compare. The TT high is a pencil beam though. Might not work out the same. Suppose I'll throw in the D2s for giggles as well. .
Thanks! It certainly doesn't feel as wide as the GS (I recently rented one for a few days while in Vegas). It is now 28" at its widest point.
Tip: When you ride with your buddies who aren't members of the 10G club... leave one of your tanks at home so that they don't feel so capacity-challenged.
In case anyone's in the market for a used set... <a href="http://www.advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18435280&postcount=56" target="_new">990 Safari tanks for sale</a>
I decided I don't want to go the Safai Tank route since I like the sleeker lines of the OEM tanks and don't want the bulk of the Supertankers since it's also my daily commuter bike. However I do want longer range from time to time on trips so I changed to 2-into-1 and the Adventure tank, 7.2 gal total, pretty good and tucked out of the way. Just right for local offroad rides, or staying within 250 miles round-trip of a gas station. However still not enough range for the long Way Up North stretches that can go 265+ mi with no fuel, and you may have to turn around and go back at times. So... I needed to get into the 10+ gal club Added 3 gal, now I'm at 10.2gal (~350 mi at my worst MPG) With locking hold-down Need to go farther? Add Rotopax extension then add another 2 gal, 12.2gal (~430 mi at my worst MPG) or any combination of Rotopax tanks. Allows using my hard panniers or my soft Wolfman panniers set. If I don't plan to go 2-up I can move the Rotopax mount another 6" father forward for better balance. 10 minute swap to my commuter Givi top case.
Well, I finally got an Australian Post/USPS tracking number from Aqualine on my KTM 990 Adventure Safari Tanks drop-ship order! Want to send a shout-out and big THANK YOU to Ben and Tom (not to mention our buddy CJ!) for helping to stick a white-hot poker under Aqualine's collective butts to make this happen for me.
