I like the look of the all black winglets!

[@true-moto-resto]

Thanks Don. I like those too.

I like the winglet idea. It aligns with the restomod theme. Either one works - carbon matches the hugger nicely so ties into that element. The black one looks more like it could have been a factory option to me. Whichever way you go I'm sure it'll be awesome. Great build and video series!

[@true-moto-resto]

Cheers Steve!

Have to say the wider flatter aero wing looks better, failing that, none at all. Its taking shape, loving the videos.

Thanks Jerry

Adding some baking soda to the super glue makes it even stronger and sands smooth.

[@true-moto-resto]

Right ! That works well when you need to fill a bit too!

Will the fairing winglets really be effective while on the track ?

[@true-moto-resto]

Heck no, just for looks

I would run with the standard exhaust; pretty sure KTM knew what they were doing and the standard bike is no slouch. It may be heavy but it’s relative and realistically you’re not going to notice unless you’re some kind of ‘super hero’ on track. Channeling your inner Rossi perhaps 😂👍??

[@true-moto-resto]

Yea the engine isn’t a stock tune, it’s been race ready for years and has an acropovich tune etc. Im sure the custom exhaust is better given the tune, but not as good for clearance now that the tip is on there But your right, no way I’d ever notice the difference even channeling my inner Rossi ! LOL
