Well ok, a bike is never "done"

I'll always add to it, but its ready for Moab, Death Valley, Mohave, and Baja.  Then Blue Ridge/TAT this summer.

I'm forgetting stuff, but here's whats I recall I've done

stator upgraded, converted to DC rectifier (for heated gear, auxiliary night lighting, fan, etc), radiator thermostat and OEM fan, 6.3 gal acerbis tank, Spot Satellite Locator Gen3, Promoto billet kickstand, "stevewfl" tugger strap, Scott's damper/billet submount, ironman sprockets - 14/49 gear ratio,  KTM hardparts skidplate, wired (heated gear, tire pump, USB, GPS, Android), SeatConcepts seat, HDB handguards, mirrors, billet topmount bar with RAM and electrical switches,  TM KTM chainguard, grips, headlight upgrade, Giant Loop luggage.  I also opened it up and checked valve lash clearances. These silver Excel rims are the "spare" set.











Teressa is trying to turn me into a KTM fan-boi!  Some of the Valentine's Day gifts


My usual outtake, the light upfront is ProFoto brand, there is another light hidden behind the bike firing into the wall for the bright contrast in the shots

That is a great looking bike Steve, but I think you should paint it green or maybe red. Ah who knows what other colors are in the crayon box?

Send it to ZG and let him decide.

But then i'd have to detail it instead of abuse it going forward!

Yes... Send it to me Steve! 


Nicely done bro! 

Great!!!  So, enough bling pics, I/we want to see some pics in action

Does look sweet, just seems a shame you will be hauling it all over the US, I vote you do your ride and then drop it off at my place for safe keeping.  I'll fire it up weekly to keep the fluids flowing, make sure you leave the spare rims with fresh tires and spare tubes.  I'd hate to see you pick it up with gum drop tires
