Yeah, I was trying to mount it to the bike instead of me! Less wind baffling on my head and neck.

Trying not to bruise my "neck meat".

TIA

Sorry, I can't be much help about the lights and mounts........the previous owner had them installed.

I just picked up the bike last week, so I do not know too much about it either.

I do know I will have to do the rear suspension linkage bearing that is in the frame.

Other than that the bike looks good so far.

Thanks for posting the photo's.

Cheers

So I have done some changes to my beloved 640
Some changes on the electrical system
Pictures before and after.
Wiring that is how it looks now.
Removed the following items on the schedule.
39 Roadbook power, If I need it i'll get it from my 12v terminal
40 clutch switch
43 TPS
48 Diode
49 3th gear
50 2th gear
Neutral

Two separate 12 volts is routed to the terminal. Here I pick out a little extra to handle the heated grips and later HID.

New paint for glory's sake, new electrical system, according to previous posts, new plastic that was required, new turn signals else there is nothing new under the sun

While I am eagerly awaiting the return of my suspension from Stillwell Performance, I figured I'd tackle a throttle lock and Hyde Racing Windscreen. Both mods I've been wanting to tackle since I bought the bike. While I like to spend as little time on the tarmac as possible, I figure I might as well make myself as comfortable as I can be when pavement is the only option.

Wasn't a huge fan of the clear screen, so I had a buddy who owns a vinyl shop cover it for me. Not an exact match, but at 75mph or covered in dirt, who'll be the wiser!!

I'll let you know what I think of it's performance next weekend when the 640 is back together and ready to roll...

I pm'd the seller of a bike that looked just like yours. It's a custom light mount that attaches to the lower triple clamp. If you get a chance can you take some pics and post em up? BTW nice bike!

I just painted mine all white. You beat me to posting the pics. I have a Cycra front fender that is orange with white vented at the rear. But it doesn't match the stock orange side panels/fender. So I was thinking the early 98-99 white fender off the RXC would probally look sweet. You just confirmed my thoughts. It looks dam good. So I am gonna steal your look from ya. But I do have some orange so we wont look like total twinks if we ever ride together.Did you order it thru KTM? Mine is a 01. Yours looks like a 01 also.
