Well folks it's already brought to my attention that I've put the panniers are on backwards, how embarrassing🤦‍♂️😂😂😂 Easy fix though, just to swap the rear bobbin with the front one, left pannier becomes the right one and so on. The locking mechanism should be at the front. Apologies school boy error, and I didn't even notice, too much beer obviously!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@SW-MOTECH]

😂 well, you´ve just changed the design a little 🤷🏼‍♂️ Definitely entertaining though 😉

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Sorry about that😂😂

[@SW-MOTECH]

😄 don´t worry about it. Thanks for the review!

I like how these look on the bike and as you say you do what you do to get to touring. Fitted backwards or properly looking forward to wherever your travels take you.

[@andrewgibbs5135]

Very neat installation.......I’ve just had another look at the ‘on backwards’ thing. Didn’t notice initially and it still doesn’t look that obvious ! Keep them coming👍

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Well if you like the backwards look then at least you know it works👍

[@scottc3]

Maybe a stupid question, but can SW Motech not provide quick release frames like they do for other bikes? Then you can take the bags and the frames off when you get to your destination...

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yes I've had the Evo quick lock frames on other bikes, not sure why this isn't the case for this bike🤷‍♂️

[@asnedaigas]

all fine and dandy, I just miss an overlook shots with removed cases - I wonder if the support left hanging ruins the looks or not much

[@thelikeablerider8800]

If you go over to my Instagram page, there are some shots without the panniers fitted👍😜

Thinking of doing them on my 2015 SDR. Can you put a textile riding jacket in one?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yeah it reckon it would fit👍

[@episode04]

Nice bike, when riding at around 140-150 km per hour, would it be a problem with these bags? Are they rated for such speed?

[@davyboycolon530]

Love the setup... I love my Duke n plan on doing the same thing

[@scottyuk]

Great to see luggage options in the SDR but the absence of quick release is really missing a trick. Having the lock inside is a pain - a faff to take them into your hotel at the end if we ach days tour. I'm gonna wait to see the gen3 GT before making a decision on my current GT"s replacement.

[@777Zubi]

Very nice setup ! How long time/ miles can you ride with this bike and still feeling comfortable ?

[@traviscarter9300]

Can't wait to get my setup from swmotech. 2021 cb1000r slc carriers and abs urban cases. Gonna be rad. They aren't available for the 2021 yet. Upcoming months I was told.

[@geraldperry7779]

Those i got get. Just question do you ever use 6th gear? Ive purchased the 2020 1290 SDR. Never use have used it runs smoother in 5th. Turning out be one beautiful machine! Is it true that European models have LED Blinkers? Cheers from Canada

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hi I've rarely used 6th, not really any need under 120kph as 5th is fairly long. Yes mine has LED indicators, I was unaware that was only included for us Europeans.

[@horror89000]

Hi! What brake and clutch levers are you using? PP? How is the feeling? Thanks, and good wheelies with the beast 😁

[@thelikeablerider8800]

They're from Raximo! Had a few sets, really like them.

[@stuontwo677]

Can you answer me a question on your superduke gt? I had heard the front on earlier models was a bit.... wishy washy and not much feel. Then I heard the suspension got some upgrade on newer models. Was the just on the SD or the SDGT? Also what year did the suspension upgrades happen. I rode an several years ago and honestly the front felt horrible.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Hi My GT was from 2017 and I got the software upgrade on the suspension (I think in 2019) but I couldn't tell the difference🤷‍♂️ front end on mine was great beforehand.

[@l_speed8797]

If nothing else, these are great because they work with the tail tidy (i have the same one). I want to get some bags and was looking at the KTM ones, but was pretty sure the tail tidy would interfere with mounting them.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It definitely fits no problem, although a couple have brought it to my attention that perhaps the indicators aren't visible from the side, everything is fine from the rear, but will have to check that. For those that don't use a tail tidy, then everything is fine.

[@dougie1325]

Look pretty good and easy enough to remove when not using them, only 6 bolts. How much space is used up for two weeks worth of Y-fronts?

[@thelikeablerider8800]

They are smaller so pants have to be minimal

[@DanceMusic1957]

Well shaun the Bike is looking awesome hahaha just see your comment on the panniers Fxxxxxxx awesome . have a good weekend Mate. Regards Glenn

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Well at least you know they can be fitted both ways.....if you like the backwards look🤷‍♂️😂

[@nootch5880]

Great video as always! Just curious, I’ve been thinking about doing the same to mine. Wondering what made you go with these over the KTM branded cases and mounting?

I've always been a fan of SWMOTECH, I like to stay with what I know👍😜

[@nootch5880]

@@thelikeablerider8800 Makes sense 🤔😂

[@yvesgeorges]

Honestely, if one can tour on it, one is a happy man. Looks is secondary (at least for the touring time). After the tour, you still can re-establish the looks of the beast... ;-)

[@thelikeablerider8800]

My thoughts exactly👍😜

[@whittlad]

Hi Sean and Happy New Year, I just wanted to ask you a quick question if you knew (or do any viewers know) if the tail tidy is compatible with the official KTM PowerParts pannier system for the KTM 1290 SuperDuke GT. My only concern is the clearance and does the tail tidy inhibit this? Otherwise I may be looking at this pannier system.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Happy new year! Could tell you for sure, but on my bike with the panniers on the indicators aren't visible from the side, so probably illegal. All pannier systems including the from SWMOTECH are designed around the original back end, so you could have problems.

[@mrcintheuk5596]

Why not the Blaze system to avoid having the permanent pannier frame? AMC went the same route - is it because of them being sent to you? I've absolutely no issue with that, just wondering you'd want the scaffolding. The panniers looked fine to me the wrong way round! 😁

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yes the framing is subjective, but if you don't like the look while the panniers are not in use, then its 3 bolts off either side and your back to normal🤷‍♂️

[@huntsville9094]

Have you seen the new version of the sw motech blaze bags? They look better than the old version.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yes I have, I've got them coming soon to try out👍😜

[@f1hotrod527]

Those saddle backs look good, or at least as good as saddlebags are going to look on a bike like that. I also would like to get a super naked and tour on it.

[@pandaSL]

Just one question can passenger sit in back with only that side bags is it hard to sit and keep the legs or is it ok 🤔

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Might not be a lot of room, but I always ride alone🤷‍♂️

[@bbouchan1]

Yes the 1290 gen 3 is also the best bike I have ever had & I've already had 2 gen 1s & 2 gen 2s.....but this one is on another level.....so powerful but so usable. But could you tell me where you got that decal kit?...Cheers.

I'd take the Super Duke R over the GT for touring any day. Being able to ride a lightweight bike is more enjoyable than the big GT, especially since I mostly avoid open freeways and prefer the twisty's.

[@mattmutane5502]

Shaun, nice! :) LOL @ 05:41 - "Inner proof water bag" - if that was deliberate then have a congratulatory beer (whilst you still have two left ;) :D ). I agree BTW with the "confusion" over the "anti-luggage on a sporty bike" hate thing - I also keep hearing how you can't tour on an MT10, but like you, I want a sporty bike that is a blast to ride, and take that touring - therefore, you need luggage for that sporty bike!! (getting a touring bike for touring, defeats the primary objective! ;) ) I'd fit the racks for a trip, and remove them again after. Like you said, it's only 3 bolts per side..

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Think I was pissed😂😂 Yeah you can tour on any bike, sure if I was conquering continents I'd probably go for an adventure bike, but for a large trip once or twice a year with a handful of week enders, I'd rather slap some bags on the beast where the looks aren't so important, more so the practicality. Although I think SWMOTECH have nailed it with the stylish looks of their luggage.

Interesting about those bolts; when I removed the rear foot legs I ordered the Powerparts cover kit. Forgetting for a second that it doesn’t fit properly, neither bolt want to go back whatever I did. I love this bike but it’s bloody frustrating!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yeah interesting that the bolts are the same size, but the front ones were a bit if a squeeze! All torque up fine though so all is well👍

No not at all I was very surprised! I even took the R on a short blast on the motorway, just out of interest and it has less turbulence than the GT. Maybe the headlight does a good job of cutting through the air🤷‍♂️

Hallo Rider, Ich stehe kurz davor mir auch die 2020er Superduke r zu kaufen. Man hört immer mal wieder, dass es wohl Probleme gibt mit Verarbeitung, Elektronik usw. Ich selbst habe absolut keine Erfahrungen mit der KTM. Ich bin sie auch selbst noch nie gefahren die 3.0 und hier in der je hat aktuell kein Händler sie als Vorführfahrzeug. Der Händler in Vlotho gibt einem immer das Gefühl, man wäre nicht willkommen. Besteht evtl die Möglichkeit, dass ich mir deine KTM mal anschaue und du mir ein kurzes Feedback zu der Superduke gibst? Ich komme aus Bad Salzuflen und du offensichtlich aus Herford. Das wäre ein Traum, wenn sowas klappen würde. Mir geht es nur mal ums anschauen evtl mal draufsetzen und ein Feedback von jemandem, der das Bike selbst besitzt. Gruß Rafael

🤦‍♂️😂 I suppose you could also fill it with water, but I'd rather put my belongings in them! Excuse my slip of the tongue😝

パニガーレ みたいなダウンマフラーがリリースしてほしいな😅😅😅

[@whynoth]

I think it looks quite ok but your turn signals are covered and I don´t think Police will tolerate that - and of course it´s a major sefety concern.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

That's only because of the tail tidy, with the stick tail everything is as it should be.

[@grenphelps7455]

I think that it's a better solution than strapping loads of bags to the back seat, or wearing a rucksack or having a mahoosive tank bag, oh wait a minute, uve got a mahoosive tank bag 🤔😂😂😜😜

[@thelikeablerider8800]

👍😂

[@xjr13john]

Framework looks shite but free shite and probably not going to be the bike you like once loaded up. Shame really cos SW Motech do so nifty kits where the horrible scaffolding can be quickly released when not in use. As you didn't mention a price is it free for all?? 😜

[@g33keh76]

If your intention is to carry anything more than a rucksack then i don't understand why you wouldn't just buy the GT, there's no ugly rack and you get all the 'touring' extras, 23litre fuel tank etc. @TheLikeableRider, you spent a load of time chopping in your GT for this R and now you're turning it into a GT? i don't get it.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Have you riding the new SDR? If you had then you'd understand why👍😜

[@thelikeablerider8800]

I don't think I toured enough to fully get the use out of a GT.

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It's all comes down to personal preference! The GT is a very capable bike, but I personally would rather ride the SDR all day long as supposed to the GT.

[@Tricky-dj6yw]

G33keh its like having a wife they both more than capable just some are lighter and easier on the eye WTF do you not get 🤷‍♂️

[@stevesherlockrides]

Maybe you should have bought the latest GT lol

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Naaaahh!😜

[@alanwoolley4749]

Not the best but if they allow you to use the bike for touring you have the best of both worlds.

[@chrisbourke528]

“Bobbins?!”

[@motorbiketoureruk]

You nob they’re on backwards, wtf! 😂🤣😂

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Yes yes! I've already had a hammering for that😂😂

[@motorbiketoureruk]

🤭😎😂

A Brit drinking Dutch beer in Germany. I almost stopped watching. And it’s French fan of Belgian beer writing...

[@thelikeablerider8800]

It's a bit backwards I know, but any good good beer will do, where ever its brewed😜

[@fabiena1787]

@@thelikeablerider8800 No problem at all, you know ;-) I just found your channel, wondering what I'll be riding after my current Super Adventure S. Spring itching of some sort I guess. Good job! Very likeable. TLR was the name of a brilliant Suzuki model, but you must know it of course.
