Jules's 690R It has begun!

[MaxThePanda]

Hey Jules... what's the verdict on the KTM screen you've been using? How does it handle on high speed highway sections?

My 690 has Alfie Cox's fairing but no front tanks:


I fitted the rear tank, but it's just not quite enough (total 17l) for the riding we do, so I need to stick on some front tanks. While fairings are very nice on highway and high speed dirt, they really don't add much under 80kph and it is quite a bit of extra weight sitting high up on the slow technical stuff.

Option is to either get the EVO1 tanks, which work with this fairing (with a new front panel) or the much nicer looking and slimmer EVO2 tanks and go back to original lights and add the little KTM screen.... hmmm.... decisions, decisions!

It works great, Just enough protection to keep the wind of your chest, Only negative is in strong winds and at speed it tends to cause a bit of head shake,
Something your set-up wont do,

Hi Jules

What did you do to your airbox? I am runnig an open airbox with the foam filter, but find it quite noisy.

Cheers
