2014 KTM 500 EXC

Bags

  • Altrider Hemisphere, makes two types, one kinda horseshoe and another closer to a standard double bag. Scope both.
  • GiantLoop ZigZag Handlebar Bag $55 at KTM Twins. Looks like a solid bag and would be nice to cover the bars and store some basics for quick access.
  • Ortlieb Moto Speed Bags $240, thinking these might be the way to go for the enduro but gotta figure out how to shield them from the exhaust sufficiently.

More Detail and ramblings:

  • HEATED GRIPS:
    • Look into KTM options.
  • HANDGUARDS PLUS... damper, bar lift, blinkers, fairing, lights...? heated grips, heated vest plug, GPS/Phone charging, computer mount, GPS/Phone mount, ?
    • HDB: black handguards and black ano supports.
    • Highway Dirtbikes has some nice hand guards, windshield, possibly light mounts and blinkers... nice button switches as well... may want to do a fully integrated unit w/ a Scotts Damper.ADVRIDER01 at checkout to get 10% off purchase.
    • Pic of HDB's setup w/ a GPR damper.
  • LIGHTS:
  • DAMPER:
  • FUELING:
    • Fuel filter sock, put in tank cap area as a pre-filter.
  • RECLUSE:
    • Recluse Core EXP: $900 retail, SBM? + about 90min to install. Do at an oil change.

SKID PLATE:

    • RTE Skid Plate $140 made of carbon/fiber/epoxy. It is also apparently so tight to the covers that dirt gets between the plate and moto parts and wears on the moto... bike inner-tube between those points prevents the wear.
    • TM Designs skid plate at $119. Plastic but sounds solid. Try this one if the RTE I have needs replacing.

Fuel Filter

  • Golan Fuel Filter $60 for filter and clamps. Use this to replace the small stock inline filters which tend to clog and stall the bike.

MISC:

TANK:

Tank: Liquid bladder

TIRES:

WHEELS:

    • Rad Racing in Utah has nice stuff and some good prices...
    • Woody's Wheels... ends up around $1900 for a "best" supermoto set of wheels... and may not include a rotor or sprocket.
    • Warp9 around $1K for a full setup including rotors and caliper spacer. These sound like they're a good bang/buck but might not hold up to extreme abuse.
    • DNA Wheels, similar to the Warp9's.
  • TUBLESS:
    • Tubliss sounds like the way to go, Phreaner digs'm as does his mechanic buddy Scott. $85@Slavens
    • Mousse/Bibs for going "airless", need to research pros/cons of this more. Sounds like they're heavier, do wear out, can generate heat...
