I don't get why people leave them on. It's like leaving the protective film on your phone. It's the first thing I pulled off on my 1290!v8-powered wrote: Tue May 10, 2022 12:46 pm KTM still not capable of fitting the Motorex sticker correctly?
I had this discussion with Paul last night, I don't have luggage options, there's no subframe on the back. I also don't think a 690 going to cochem the day after picking it up is a great plan.scottyuk wrote: Thu May 12, 2022 9:03 am Weeksy,
You either need to give the Yam a fitting farewell or the 690 a decent run in.
I'm on the trip in a room on my own and would share it with you if it meant I saw you ragging a 690 again.
More than I can carry in the luggage I don't haveSupermofo wrote: Thu May 12, 2022 9:37 am Yeah cos at that point you won't know how much oil you'll need to take with you
About £400 tooKungFooBob wrote: Thu May 12, 2022 9:44 am I'm sure one of the others would have room for a some oil and a change of y-fronts. What more do you need?
I use an MX helmet on my 690 duke.... but i iz ded ard an thatweeksy wrote: Wed May 11, 2022 10:06 am I guess the other question is now whether i go full Supermoto gimp and throw the MX and goggles into the discussion.
I'm slightly restricted by the fact i need to wear specs to improve my vision, it's not 'essential' but it's certainly better than not in terms of vision.
I've now found out you can get OTG goggles (over the glasses) which potentially opens up the options a little. But i worry it's still a bit overly gimpy and sad.. lol. However, it's also pretty damn cool at the same time.

I think fogging up would be the biggest issue though, i get that enough on the standard helmets with the glasses so i reckon it would even increase the fogging issues.
for some reason your link didn't show on my screenajlog wrote: Wed May 11, 2022 12:39 pm Back when I had a few Supermotos, I used those little car blind spot mirrors clamped to the handguard.
They weren't great but at least you had an idea of what was happening behind / alongside you, plus they are cheap.
Something like this clamped to the top edge of the handguard.
Spotted an 690 R yesterday and it had the Power parts seat, it did look more comfortable than standard!weeksy wrote: Wed May 11, 2022 5:45 pm Yeah I can't see it at the moment. There's too many things I need in the world, the nxr in white will suite the bike well, plus I'm not 22.
I may pick up the ergo/comfort seat before anything else.

If I really want an SM I can just get some road wheels and up the gearing.
Yeah, but not quite enough to buy one outright.weeksy wrote: Thu May 12, 2022 1:23 pm100%Yorick wrote: Thu May 12, 2022 1:19 pm I've just nipped into town on the Husky and that sort of bike is fun.

They're just totally different to a sportsbike, but as you know I'm very much into this sort of thing already
I'm getting impatient now
