Stubby Stock Tail Tidy KTM Duke 390 125 250 200

If you find that the stock rear tail/ fender/ mudguard is too long and you want a tail tidy then it's an easy modification to turn the stock tail into a tail tidy. You can stubby the stock KTM Duke 390 250 200 125 and make your own tail tidy.
Apologies to the headphone listeners for the audio on this one.
I'm showing a really short modification but it would look good a little longer. I've used a welder but it would be easy to bolt together instead.

Thank you so much for this Detailed video, it was very helpful. I opted to cut mine straight off at the square tube to achieve the desired length and welding it back together again.

[@MotoMirius]

Nice. Size and shape of the licence plate will drive the final design. In the UK we have huge plates and it makes it hard to tuck them in (legally anyway!)

[@simon.yourfavorite]

Great video!

[@MotoMirius]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rays9033]

I thought in one of his later videos I noticed at least one welding helmet on a shelf there, and hoped to see some fab/welding work, either making parts or a repair. Looks like he used a MIG this time. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a video making some frame mods with a TIG too! If that was me running that cutoff wheel, and not using gloves, half of my video would need to be deleted to remove the excessive blood spray…😂 The closeup of the final product on the bench has a nice MIG bead run, nice! The metal was thicker than I thought, I was expecting to see some damage where you may have blown-through.

[@MotoMirius]

Thanks, much appreciated. It had been my plan to include some welding in the video, but I do so little welding at the moment that it takes too long to get back up to speed to include it. The main issue with welding this is that being a non structural part it is a very low quality steel and I think recycled so there is a lot of contamination which makes for very messy welds. I try not to get too much blood on the camera ;)

[@samu3398_]

Hi! I know that im late because this video is from 2 years ago but i bought a 2023 ktm duke and discovered your channel recently. It looks like that the bike from this video have a bigger back tire than the stock one, am i wrong? About the tail tidy, 100% that this is the next change for my bike! Amazing video, really helpfull!

[@MotoMirius]

Glad I could help and thank you. That is a stock size rear tyre. The way the manufacturer constructs the tyre can make them look a bit wider - and I agree, the Bridgestone does look wider (I think that is what I had on the back in this video).

[@cpr336]

I love it..is it possible I can buy one off you...if not, do all the duke 125, 200, 250 and 390 have the same mounting for the rear fender ?

[@MotoMirius]

Thanks. I'm not yet at the point of selling stuff but yes all the gen 2 bikes use the same parts for the rear fender.

[@cpr336]

@@MotoMirius well when and if you get to that point i would love to buy !!!!!...went to a machine shop they don't wanna do anything

Watched twice and im now very jealous

[@MotoMirius]

Wanting to be able to make modify stuff like this is why I eventually bought a welder.

[@griffowolfhackmine]

great vid, but i guess you already cut the plastic underside of the tail when you fitted the original aliexpress one?

[@MotoMirius]

The tail tidy was already fitted when I bought the bike, but yes, you would need to modify

[@handcannon9814]

Hi sir, i saw this nice transparent oil filter cover, is it okay to use it in long term? What do you think?

[@MotoMirius]

If it's properly made and it doesn't leak it should be fine - it's just a cover.

[@manishsatose6434]

Great

[@MotoMirius]

[@BhargavaJaisimha]

I bought a tail tidy and am using that but I don't really like it... Also it does not have the number plate light (so kind of not legal).... but I think I'm going to be doing this now!!! looks pretty cool, hope I complete it tho :b

[@MotoMirius]

Go for it, you have nothing to lose. Good luck. David

[@matthiasdaenen325]

Would you suggest the basic tail tidy from rok bagoros? I'm doubting because the cables of the blinkers are exposed. And the price gap for the premium one is pretty big.

[@MotoMirius]

It's not my favourite to be honest. I really like the premium one and I'd choose that if I were looking to buy one - but not cheap!

[@matthiasdaenen325]

@@MotoMirius Yeah so I ordered the premium one! You know, watching your channel is really fun and expensive at the same time! bassically ordered every protection part + tail tidy for my 390 from bagoros now 😁😂

@@matthiasdaenen325 Ha! :D Yes, it can become expensive, but I've never had a hobby where this didn't happen.

I did see this on another video the other day and wondered if and when you was going to post this. Unfortunately, this is way out my skill set! Plus how would I get the aliexpress tail tidy off probably rusted on haha

[@MotoMirius]

Ha! Easier to make than you might think. I did shoot footage of how to do this without welding but I left it out as it wasn't complete enough. Maybe I need to buy another tail and do a non welding version? Did I come over a bit peeved about the existing tail tidy? AliExpress is back on the bike after a bit of rust removal, filing and a coat of paint! Skäl David

Dave! Just asking about on the road security, for bikes, because I just bought another 125 KTM 2022, and nearly got it stolen out side a small walk in Sainsbury's just today, I had a D-Lock on the back sprocket and chain, so that walk the only thing that stopped them and so staff shouting in the store that they were trying to steal my bike, could you suggest any measure that I could take? P.s They got away on a scooter....

[@MotoMirius]

Of course they were on a scooter. Ultimately if someone wants your bike there is nothing you can do to stop it. But what you experienced is common too - you have to strike a balance - there is only so much security you can carry and a D lock is good (if its a good one) but hard to lock a motorbike to anything with one. A proper chain and padlock - say ABBA not Oxford works but then you have something that weighs nearly as much as the bike. I do quite like the KTM disk lock for this reason. Never bought one, but it's always fitted and not so easy to remove with an angle grinder or brute force as your average cheap disk lock. Good to hear that you survived that one. But a couple of years ago there was a 390 Duke got stolen from the high street near me and was ridden around for quite a while by the thieves.

[@ezekielgskeen8607]

@@MotoMirius thanks a million for your insight, I ordered two more D-locks, the one that saved me was a ABUS, That I normally use with my garage lock, one more of them a Kryptonite deck Evo, for the break disk, until my steering lock is fixed Saturday morning, thanks again, salute to always!

[@michaelthomas8097]

How long did it take to build that

[@MotoMirius]

Not all that long - it's hard to say because filming always makes jobs five times longer. Waiting for paint to dry is the longest part, a good fabricator would be able to do the basic work in just a few minutes.
