Hi. I've just bought a 790 duke and was looking to customise a little. Nothing too mad, seat cowl, tail tidy, slip on exhaust, bar end mirrors and maybe some graphics. I was looking any suggestions, recommendations and suppliers. Thank you in advance

I'm trying to find the best looking and functional crash cage.

I'm running a Mivv slip on I bought from Italy. Mustard tail tidy on the way from Tasmania. KTM LED signals on the way from Germany. KTM seat cowl gets here tomorrow from KTM parts. KTM Superduke mirrors, Puig short levers, R&G sliders, and a few other odds and ends.

Hey Zimm all those trick after market pieces sound nice. I had a MIVV pipe on my 390 Duke and let me say if you haven't seen their slip ons - they are gorgeous !!!! Well made and very nice looking - Just out of curiously how much money are you spending for these mods -

At one time I was just like you - needed to make the bike look "mine" - since I don't keep bikes all that long I found that I'd spend a bundle on the trinkets ( call me pathetically superficial ) and give that stuff away when I'd sell the bike - no more -!!! Now I stick to a few performance only mods like a PCV or in this case a Coober ecu device from Austria, their open air box cover and a Wings slip on - 1000$ US including shipping - and I'/m happy - I'm sure your bike and the bike of our newest member JaidenThomas will look great

I really don't know if you're serious or joking.

No he wasn't. Flat-track it :grin:

Actually, the 790 is light enough to do slight off-roading. I have 20 acres of flat trails with no rocks, and I was able to mess around on the 790 without crashing. I rode in "Rain Mode". I think with dual-sport street oriented tires, the 790 can do a little bit of fire-road trails.

That is what the Adventure is for. Different forum!

I've had my wheels powder coated, I've wrapped my tank, I'm in the process of having a custom graphics kit made up EvoTech tail tidy, Leo Vince LV10 Stainless dual exhausts, Power Bronze headlight covers, I've got a speedo cover on it's way and Hepco and Becker bars and I'm sure I'll end up doing a fair bit more to it but I've only ridden it for the first time today so need to figure out what I want next

Where did you get the radiator guard?
Let's see the graphics kit.

By the way, why are you keeping the GSXR now that you have the 790? I sold my GSXR and two Ducatis. I don't need them anymore. I can't stand them now, compare to how comfortable the 790 is.

You're probably right. I'm probably too old for bikes that hurt my wrists and back after every ride. Suzuki for some unknown reason tend to have the hardest clutch pull pressure.
The only GSXR I've ever loved was the 1990 GSXR-750R.

 

[crashtestkatie]

I've had a K6 and have a K9 now, I've got pins, plates and nerve damage to my clutch arm but still find it enjoyable to ride 😊
