Good Afternoon,
I just sort of stumbled on this site. It's just the sort of
thing I was looking for. I'm on ADVRider and KTMTalk. But often
you need to sort through a bunch of stuff to find anything about
the 690. Thanks for the site.
I owned a 2004 KTM 950 ADV for about 2 years. It was a wonderful
bike but too big for the sort of riding I like to do. In January
of this year I traded that in on a new 2015 KTM 690R. WOW! This
bike is awesome!
I'm still running stock intake and exhaust. I have added the
following touches to the bike:
Tourtech side racks to support my soft luggage.
A Nomadic rear rack with a 1 gallon Rotopax mounted to it.
A Flat Land Racing skid plate.
The KTM ABS Dongle.
The KTM radiator guards.
A Tool Tube behind the right side of the Tourtech rack to carry
some tire irons and the associated stuff.
I put a Rally Raid tool box on the bike to carry the standard
tool kit in.
So, no big changes - just enough to get along well in the back
country for a while.
I just received some Enduro Engineering bar risers but haven't
gotten them installed yet. Maybe this weekend.
I'm looking forward to reading the tips and issues that we all
go through with our bikes. If you are anywhere around the SE
Kansas area give me a shout. Maybe we can get together for a
ride.
I really like the bike specific forum. Thanks again.
Kingrider

Welcome Kingrider. I was thinking about adding the Tool Tube to
my Touratech rack can you post a pic of it? Which size did you
go with? The regular or large?
