Great job Nat and Josh

[@brucefleming1743]

That is some super great quality products,very impressive and looked nice and easy to fit . Well done guys 👍🇦🇺

[@gc1862de]

Nice vid, always great when parts for your bikes arrive. Great seeing Nat back on the tools.

[@MVDBR]

🙌

[@marks938]

I agree with you guys total, SRC stuff is well made & fits perfectly plus the service from Tony is Top Notch. I'm still waiting for it to stop bloody raining here in Vic it's been three weeks now & the bike still has only 1km on it, it will stop one day. Enjoy!

[@MVDBR]

He goes alright for a lousy Saffa 😅👌 Cheers mate yeah the weather lately leaves a lot to be desired, even qld been decidedly ordinary 😣

[@magnusconsul]

Hello Josh and Nat, so good to see the Vid on how to put all the sexy gear on the bike, well done Nat on the tools, all good fun. Enjoy! David...Adelaide SA Tiger 900GT...

[@TheKernables]

We shoulda waiting just a little longer. That headlight guard looks way better than the one we went with🤙

[@MVDBR]

Which one was that?

[@TheKernables]

@@MVDBR ADV Tribe. Doesn’t look much different but the quick detach is so much better.

[@2WheelFreak]

Nice, all that gear looks rock solid, really like the rack with the grab handles!

[@JustTex]

That torque wrench was hilarious haha, cripes!

[@MVDBR]

Steady on mate 😅

[@BikerBits]

WOW... that's the best looking KTM ever Nat! Really love that rear rack too... Looks bloody Awesome. Well done guys or should I say Bloody Ripper Job! Cheers... Mark

[@MVDBR]

Bloody Ripper indeed 😁 Cheers Mark

[@ianferrier235]

Time to go test it out Nat .looking good 👍🏻👍🏻

[@390advmotochick7]

Stay turned for that 😜

[@adventuristtv]

That rack is a quality piece of kit!

[@matt_kelly]

I went with the AXP rear rack after seeing it in your channel. It definitely has some flex to it, but works for me since it has more areas to strap on to. The slots on the side are well spaced and don't slip backwards or forwards with my net thing on them as they would with this rack or the stock hand rails since nothing is holding them fore or aft.

[@MVDBR]

Yeah the AXP does the job that's for sure. Have yet to test out the SRC but I think it will be fine 👌

[@matt_kelly]

@@MVDBR It looks like it will do the job handily. I might have to get the headlight guard next, it looks like a nice piece of kit.

[@Vet6970]

Nice job. I got to get that kick stand large foot print, always worried about falling over in dirt.

[@MVDBR]

The only problem is how straight up the bike stands as it is, don't know if yours is the same but this one doesn't lean much at all on the stand and adding more height to the stand itself makes it a little worse. Luckily it's only a couple of mm

[@seekadv8066]

Just purchased a bunch of parts for my CRF300L that still hasn't shown up yet :') Cheers for the code guys, saved me the cost of shipping pretty much! Uploaded my little box of goodies!

[@Galvoflysoz]

These crash bars look the best ive seen. I havnt got my bike tet but these items are hot on the list. Have subbed you guys as loving your vids. And that your in Oz as well.

[@MattG2684]

After watching your video I just got the src rear rack and crash bars. Can say one thing its easier to fit the crash bars if you have a 2nd set of hands.

[@MVDBR]

Yeh everything is easier with a bit of help. They were a lot easier than other crash bars I've fitted though!

[@alexmorton8659]

Love the channel guys, took Mark's recomendation from Biker Bits! Great stuff!

[@mrwill1969]

Pfft you don't need a torque wrench when you've got T bar spanners . That little 390 is the shizzle solid effort guys . 👍

[@MVDBR]

I don't think my actual torque wrench has even seen the light of day since I bought it back in 1994 or something like that 😅 Thanks for watching mate

[@geoffhowse3591]

Hey guy's...nice gear you got from SRCMoto, and I hate to be picky, but not too impressed with the 4 bolts that hold the main rack to the frame :(...would have been nice if they were flush with the rack, instead of sticking up a few mm.

[@MVDBR]

The ones that hold the luggage plate on? Yeah you're right it would be nice if they were countersunk or something but that would mean the plate would have to be thicker material, but that wouldn't be a terribly bad thing 🤷‍♂️ thanks for the comment Geoff 🤙

[@geoffhowse3591]

@@MVDBR Hey Josh, yes, sorry the luggage plate....I've noticed that the majority of SRC's racks have this mounting system, which in my opinion kinda limits what you can strap to it. for example a small jerry can. I'd also be concerned that if you had some "luggage" or soft pack's, that those raised screws could wear a hole in them. I have a B & B rack, and the holding bolts (which are countersunk bolts), are countersunk into the luggage plate itself, which is 4mm thick. I would very much doubt that if you decided to countersink Nat's, it would look a lot neater, and I doubt that it would compromise it's strength. Just looking at the clip as I'm writing, it's NOT going to crack....might even see if you could not use those little spacers underneath. Anyway M8, that's my 10 cents....maybe a job for an upcoming Batcave Friday !!! Cheers.

[@tassieadventurerider4815]

When you tension something, just make a click noise…. Works for me…. Or tighten until it strips then back it off a turn 😂😂🍻

[@GS2wheels]

Awesome guys. 390 Looking the goods Nat 👌

[@dannysdirtbikeadventures2606]

Beefy looking crash bars and rear rack. Looks like some good quality solid gear and the side stand bigger foot things are really handy too. Shame they don't make anything to suit my 1090

[@MVDBR]

Oh true mate I thought they'd be all over the 1090 gear, does kinda seem like they do a lot more Japanese bike stuff though

[@soupysocksenduro]

top notch job guys, looking great and functional

[@hails.h9000]

[@fenner-g6088]

Have added up what the cost to build the 390 to this stage would be, bet its scary, might be worth a video on both bikes 🤔

[@johnscott9829]

Close to 5K USD

[@MVDBR]

It would be a fair bit, but the only thing extra that the 390 really needs over any other bike is the wheels. Granted they are a big cost though 😬

[@mototechsam3051]

Again just watched you on the big screen .your both great .I installed SRC stainless crash bars on my 22 T7 and Wednesday put the SRC rear rack yes it looks great pretty simple to install and Nats bike looks awesome and one thing you did mention the little joint pipes that go in there yes I noticed those little 4 mm button Head Allen's not very deep for the Allen wrench I left mine in but I will put stainless Allen heads in mine when I take them off or if I have to and know have the Kriega 9 back pack. Awesome. !

[@MVDBR]

Yeah man those supplied fasteners aren't the best 😬

Great 👍 job Josh and Nat , that was a good torque wrench 🔧😂😂😂. I’m the same never 👎 one ☝️ my brother in law ALWAYS does for just about every bolt - painful 😖 to watch 😂. He is heavy handed he wreckens . I’m installing new crash 💥 bars today ( SM- Motech ) for my Yamaha 660.

Good video, a bit of protection is always a good thing 😁 I'm going crazy protecting the 790, with upper and lower protections but a lower one has come to me wrong and I've spent many hours to not be able to mount it, let's see if they solve it although they are taking it too slowly 😩

I was sitting here feel in sorry for me self started watchin you meddilin with the 390, and I thought "fuck it get yer act together ya wussy" (I had a tripple by pass 3 weeks ago) and one week ago I dived on a 21 tenere "like hens teeth over here (Ireland) so me bark busters came today and cross brace for the bar's so off I went to the cave and fitted the lot, not that easy when yer waitin on yer chest ta crack open again, but I got it done, ya gave me the get up and go to attack, and lucky for me when I ordered the stickers off ya,s I ordered two sets so now I have the only T7 in Ireland with mvdbr stickers ( woo hoo) took a few pics but can't put them up here ?. Keep up the good work love the bikes and yer sence of humour not feel in sorry for me self any more. (Ps the names Christy last time ya thought I was a girl) have a good one Josh/ natt) I'll stick up a few pic for ya,s when I figure out how even the gory hospital one's all I have ta do is wait another 3 weeks before they,'ll let me drive the T7, good luck "and may the wind at yer back always be yer own" Christy (male)🤒

The crash guard will make a perfect place to mount nitrous oxide bottles. One on each side. I've never seen a KTM 390 Adventure with nitrous. Yours could be the first on earth!

[@pmg8504]

Hey Nat, that headlight protector makes the ugly KTM headlight look OK!!!

[@tomcharles7755]

Nice job. Off topic question when you replaced the 10 lbs of muffler with a short mid pipe to connect exhaust together did that have much effect on bike performance??

[@MVDBR]

I'm surprised Nat didn't answer this but maybe she'll chime in with her thoughts. I don't ride it enough to know really but I did ride it before and after and I didn't notice any difference other than it being obnoxiously loud after 😅

[@islanddreaming8591]

Dont make my mistake, as you will end up losing that sidestand foot like I did. Put some RED loctite on those bolts even though they are probably nylon lock nuts, as I had blue loctite on mine and they still came undone on a long ride and i then had to buy another replacement foot. I made sure I used Red the second time around.

[@MVDBR]

Aye, thanks for the tip!

[@israeladventureriding8505]

Hey Guys Love your work - quick question - did the crash bars create any vibrations or change the dynamics of the engine

Depends if you're comfortable, if you're riding on road you probably won't be standing up much so I don't think you'd need risers 🤷‍♂️

[@ravenfix]

Looks like you might be running an AXP Racing skid plate... i wasn't aware they made one for the 390. Did you retrofit/ was it meant for another bike, or does AXP offer that now?

[@MVDBR]

No they used to have them listed on the website, don't know why they stopped. Although it wasn't very good, melted onto the exhaust header going over obstacles because it wasn't very well mounted. Ended up replacing it with a better alloy one from B&B bboffroad.com.au/product/bash-plate-ktm-390-adventure-r-2020-2022/

Nice video and workshop. But a bench grinder on top of your workbench? Near the bike and clean workbench, seems not very well thought in my opinion? Bench grinder should never be in a clean workshop, possibly contaminating your nice and clean work. Besides that after using this bench grinder, cleaning consumes precious KTM driving time for NAT.
