Perfect timing

You’re living the dream man!

[@cchief249]

Thanks man, trying to!

Funny you mentioned your Race bolts, I was making a couple clips today for a new video and talked about mine. Almost word for word what you said. 😅 Bike is looking good! I like these KTM’s.

[@cchief249]

Haha they’re awesome! In 3 years of racing I’ve broken so many bits, probably more money than just buying bolts like that lol. Thanks! It turned out great.

Couldn't quite make it out watching the video, but did you undo or reroute the brake line bracket to get the front stand in place? I was about to buy a similar stand but noticed the bracket sits right underneath the hole where it would fit. Good luck in super hooligans! Cheers!

[@cchief249]

I did! I think I briefly show it in Part I video. One bolt and you can push it aside. You could easily fashion it to the triple clamp in a spot out of the way, I didn't because I knew I was putting new lines on this build, which you'll see in a future video. Hope that helps! And thanks!

[@iainhutchinson345]

sorry if I have over looked the specific video,. Have you done a front ABS delete? where do you cover it? Thanks

[@cchief249]

I’ve deleted the ABS entirely. I removed the stock lines and ran direct lines from master cylinder to caliper front & rear. I then plugged the ABS pump with bolts and installed the 790 ABS delete dongle in the tail section. Hope that helps!

Thank you

Get some GB Racing covers on, a lot more protection. What sort of height are you, I’ve tried a 890 R as replacement for my 2020 Superduke, but it’s too small for me, waiting to try a 990 Duke.

[@cchief249]

I definitely like the GB covers, just grabbed what was discounted for me on this one. Protected enough but will get GB if needed in the future! I’m 5’10”, it’s definitely a smaller bike than I’m used to but not bad. I’d love to try the new 990, too!

[@bryansuperduke1290r]

@@cchief249I’m 6ft and it’s just too compact for me, mate has one but he is a lot shorter and it’s suits his size. Been waiting 2 years since the first 990 spy shots came out, I believe we finally know the 990 is a bigger platform than the 890. My Superduke is in dealer for recall work on the 6th and hope the 1390 and 990 demo bike’s are there buy then. I have the GB Racing covers on bolt my bikes, got ex forces discount as former Royal Marine. Semper Fi

[@cchief249]

@@bryansuperduke1290r Well I hope you get your hands on one of those new platforms, they both sound awesome. And sweet! Known a couple Royal Marines in my time, much respect man.

[@iainhutchinson345]

You probably know this, swap out the OEM battery for an Antigravity ATZ 10 and save 2.5kgs in weight.

[@cchief249]

Oh I have one, unfortunately the MotoAmerica Hooligan class has a minimum weight of 377 lbs so I have to make the bike heavy where I can. Good looking out though!
