Nice choice to go with the 690 fairing instead of the 450 fairing, this should be awesome!

Sorry mate its not mine to sell.
I just did a few mods to it for a friend to turn it in to an adventure bike instead of a rally bike.

I'm not sure what they are new but i don't believe you would manage to buy it even if you offered twice what it cost, my mate really loves it.

when they were selling the 690RR's new they were running about the same price as the 450RR is now...about $50,000 USD as I recall. Though I think there was a price for just the bike and a price for the bike and the opportunity to buy spares off the KTM truck at Dakar.

I was thinking maybe you could even modify one of the Rally-Raid engine toolbox mounts to hold a tool tube, not sure if there's enough room.

I have been thinking of buying a Rally-Raid engine toolbox, does anyone know if they get in the way at all when you are riding ?

You could always shape up a bit of cardboard and tape it approx where the photo shows and then make a call on it.

Does anyone have any photos or point to a link on the 12v accessories connectors behind the headlight.

As I recall 690RR were 29,000 Euros.

There very easy to find accesorie one and two take headlight off as you look at the front there on the right - the 690 wunderfest thread has loads of usefull information - usually {but not allways } if you type in the google box what your after e.g ktm 690 accesorie plugs you will find most answers will come up pointing you there - I try to research first ask questions later but I have been acused of not doing that in the past but hey I did try ;-}

Thanks for the info, I've certainly been searching, I wouldn't ask if I could find it.

If you pull the headlight off and look to the right handside you will find them - may have to check which is keyed which is constant but very easy to do - I did it so it aint hard it was a while ago but it may even have acc 1 and acc 2 marked on them but cant remember

yep just did some googling they do have acc 1 and acc 2 on a little tag thingo wrapped around the wires

Here's a thread, it's a bit hard to tell what connector it is, I was just trying to get everything ready ahead of time
