Take it to JM. You're the worst offender now. If your object is to make enemies, you're doing great at it.

Dude...let it go

Crankshaft...what kind of seat are you having done? I've heard great things about the work they've done on the KTM seats.

It seems I am also an asshole and pissed off Slide by calling him "Dude". In the spirit of keeping this thread friendly and informative, I publicly apologize and retract my statement.

Slide is not a dude.

Will someone page me please when this thread is back to usual business?

Just got back from the dealer and now I have a whopping 27 miles on the challenge!!!!

He a new list of stuff coming out for the X-series but no prices yet.....should be out soon........most of it looked like the touratech stuff...with a few different items as well

Oni · 08-16-2007, 12:26 PM

Congrats on the new bike.

Might I suggest the first mod you do be a set of bark buster type guards. Acerbis and Cycra seem to be poplular with the group here. I have Cycra Pro Bend myself...saved my levers at least once so far.

watch the rear fender too. Lot of weight back there and the fender snaps off. I got a replacement one, was going to put my TT fender back on but took the stock one apart and threw a bunch of unneeded crap away. It's a bunch lighter now. Probably still put my TT one on...was just to lazy to rig up the turn signals last weekend.

I picked mine up a little over a week ago and am really digging it. We have probably 7 or 8 more all loaded,up for sale at our New York Store.

I like the decals!

Anyway, I took the plunge guys, I'm going to participate in the 2008 Eastern Europe Rally. Signed up tonight. I decided right at the same time I want to have full fairing and a rear side fuel tank on the Xchallenge by then.

I want the next fairing on my bike. It's light, offers just enough protection and I like the simplicity. It's being made by an enthousiast over here as a "universal" rally fairing. It's made as a rough, unfinished fairing, that you make fit to your bike yourself.

9 months to go!!

Congrats Max, keep us posted on your progress with the bike.

I had one made for my 640ADV before the Alcan rally and it made the difference for me without a doubt. The seat easily added another 300+ miles to my day compared to the stock seat. We did a 780 mile day and my rear end was sore, but with the stock seat I would be in the ER

I'll probably get black suede and just keep it simple. I'm not a big farkle guy, but the Renazco is essential.

Cool,good for you man

Max Kool · 08-16-2007, 02:19 PM

Of course I'll keep you all posted on the progress. (as if I needed encouraging in posting the mods I try tpo make?)

I already found a guy who will help me building a subframe for the roadbook, IMO, headlamp and the fairing of course. So that's a first step.

Wish me good luck in Spain first. (only six weeks to go)

Oni · 08-16-2007, 02:28 PM

Alright Max! Cheering for you...and looking forward to seeing/hearing about your mods!

Side fuel tank sounds promising!

Looks like they are running the Touratech tank.
