Well the fun and games continues with fitting the additional fuel tank kit
I've had missing parts , incorrect parts and what at best is a poor set of instructions
After numerous calls and emails I eventually got everything and the additional tank was fitted , plumbed and wired in and all of the covers bolted on
Last job was to pop the seat on , except it doesnt fit !
After a message exchange with Martin to get some photos and part numbers off his 2020 LR is became apparent that the 2021 model bike uses a different ECU which is physically larger and has three multi plug connectors rather than the two on the 2020 model
To accommodate this larger ECU it has been moved to sit above the relay holder and the 2021 model has a different battery holder and retaining bracket
This means the seat support posts on the seat base from the kit foul with the battery and do not allow the seat to be fitted
This information has been sent to the Dealer and on to KTM but unless they already have a seat to suit this new arrangement I can't what they will do
I can't really see KTM making a bespoke seat for me so my only option may be to modify the seat pan which does look a possibility
If I am going to modify the seat I want some sort of recompense though as they sold the kit as being suitable for my bike - we will have to see what response I get

Difference in seat bases 2021 to seat from kit :
Resulting in a non fitting seat !
