Yet wasn’t Wapping telling us how to get power into a tank bag only recently ?
now that made me smile more than the rocket launcher on the side and the beige bag ...... classic
Must have missed that one.When was that said ?
The beige bag is made by Kaoko and is at least a decade old.Great quality.
Make that at least 13 years old .
Here it is in 2009
Only playing , it’s good some kit travels the time line of reliability, I still have a pair of gloves that are + 15 years old but always go on tour , and give me a smile when I wear then , even tho they are like 1980s driving gloves ��

It was . Best ever . Eats PP for breakfast
Worth noting that the KTM Power parts tank bag is actually made by SW Motech and uses the latest magnetic tank ring and so will also take any other compatible SW Motech tank bag. The KTM one follows the line of the tank better but then is not as versatile if you wanted to use it on other bikes. The micro bag is very useful when you do not need the extra capacity
Essential mod for not going off-road !!

Ta but never had an issue on any other bike with them.And I prefer the grip as they are.
I love the look of these bikes and with Chester Motorrad closing and becoming a KTM dealer, I’d be quite tempted.
But I ride a factory lowered GSA and, whilst I believe you can various bits of kit to alter the height, does anyone know if you could actually lower one of these to a similar height ?
I can’t seem to get a definitive answer anywhere.

The 21 onwards 1290's sit quite low, as do the 790 / 890 models.
The R isn't low. It's quite a bit taller than my old 1190. And, probably not much point in getting an R and lowering, better off with the S which is lower.
I had the factory lowered GSA. A 2014. You won't have an issue with the S.
Don't worry....you can still fit a set of Pivot Pegz.

Good mate of mine who is shorter than me (I am 5’9” and 29” inside leg) rides a 2021 SAS - I ride both a new 1290 SAR and a 790 Adv R and manage ok with the KTM low seat on both
S version on both the 1290 and 790/890 are def lower than the R versions as they all have upwards of extra 40mm of travel
