KTM 990 Adventure
My 1190 after 5000 miles in the Colorado high country
- Raised front fender: fender from KTM 950, fabricated mount.  Fork tube protectors made from original front fender.
- Custom Garmin Montana 600 GPS mount + plug-in DIN connection
- Scotts Steering Damper adapted to 1190R by BRP Moto in Colorado Springs, Colorado USA.  Stock steering damper is still installed.
- Two handlebar risers for 3” additional height; great for standing.  2” by ROX riser
- KTM tank bag
- New electrical connections:
          DIN (BMW) connector on ‘dash’ for GPS
          SAE connector for wiring in Tank Bag
          In Tank Bag is wired 2 cigarette lighter sockets, 2 USB sockets to charge GoPro Camera directly, GoPro additional batteries, camera batteries, iPhone, etc.
          SAE connector on left side of seat for either trickle charger connect or charging laptop in rear luggage
          50A large connector behind rear shock to connect 2000 lb winch occasionally bolted onto left side of bike
          Forward/Reverse winch switch on handlebars
          Two 3300 lumen driving lights on either side of raised front fender.
- Removed the
          Passenger grab handles
          The two bungy attachment rails below grab handles
          Passenger footpegs
- Where passenger footpegs used to be, fabricated two small plates as attachment points for Giant Loop Great Basin luggage (way better in tough off-road exploring than panniers)
- Installed 2 ‘tool tubes’, one on each side where passenger grab handles used to be.  They carry all tools, all tire fix stuff (21” tube, CO2 cartridges, tubeless plugs, etc) light weight tire irons with built-in bead breakers by Motion Pro, all winch related accessories.
- KTM crash bars
- KTM skid plate
- KTC 80 tires (I’m on my 2nd set).  Best off road tire bar none.  Work well on pavement too.
- Barkbuster hand guards
- KTM special clutch and brake levers, articulated in the middle to twist instead of break.
- Dropped one tooth on front sprocket for lower gearing in the woods.  Have not noticed any downside.  Still nice, smooth and quiet to cruise at 90 mph.
- Modified steering stops below bottom triple clamp to allow considerably tighter turning radius.  Now max’ed by front forks hitting the gas tank.
