Upgrades for the KTM SuperDuke
The Advanced Riding Course at AIA (Portimão) is litle more than a month away, so it’s time to get Karen some upgrades and crash protection (wich hopefully won’t be needed).
To help with the wind blast, I ordered KTMs Touring windshield, the standard wind deflector looks good but it’s useless at speeds above 170km/h, so hopefully this will help a litle.
The Touring Windshield costed 59€ and I’ve already fitted it, altough I haven’t had time to ride the bike to try it out. As soon as I do, I’ll update this post with a my first impressions.
Also from KTMs Power Parts Catalogue came the passenger footpeg sliders, two small pieces of TPU plastic that costed 18,45€ and are suposed to minimize the damage to the rear of the bike in case of a spill. Fiting them required the use of a hammer to remove the pin that holds the footpeg. Even with the help of WD40, the pins was insisting it didn’t want to leave it’s place, so I had to hammer it out.
I’ve also ordered a full set of crash bobbins (front axle, rear axle, Upper front frame sliders and lower front frame sliders) from Coyote Moto, wich costed around 170€. Still waiting for them to arrive, when they do, I’ll post the fitting process.
