You mean it comes with this? http://www.ktm-parts.com/62004912000.html

2011 came with saddle bags. Looking forward to the new tune- hopefully it's retrofittable to the 10-11's.

SMT tank has been 5 gallons at least since 2010. I think for the US, it's just the preload adjuster.

I had to wait about 6 weeks for mine. Really wish it had shown up a week earlier so I could have taken it to Yellowstone. Hang in there!

Yes.

$15,399 -- really

[dougpaw57]

I'm pretty sure the saddlebags have always been standard equipment in the US. Yeah, the $15,399 is tough to swallow seeing that I paid $13,400 out-the-door for a brand new 2010 last November. That's about $11,200 before freight, license, and tax.

[MIghty]

2011s were 1399.00 plus freight tax tag and things. My dealer told me its about 1k. It is a steep price but worth it.

Anyone know where I can get an extended rear hugger in the states? Like the skidmark kind? There are several places online to get them but I don't think they ship to the US.

Thanks

[ultrachrome]

Skidmarx won't ship to the US. They referred me to http://streetfightersbydesign.com their US distributor. I emailed the distributor about pricing and availability but never got a response. However, I later stumbled upon the hugger (superduke) for sale by them on Amazon.

Another option: http://www.simpson-detour.co.uk/Hugg...2-cfc411906c55 And they'll ship to the US. Some find this better looking but installation is trickier than Skidmarx.

I ended up making a fender extender out of ABS plastic for $2. http://www.ktmsmt.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3597

Check the accessories forum at ktmsmt.com for more hugger discussion.

if u r worried about your shocks and want protection..... http://www.dirtskins.com/category_s/39.htm i have these on for 30k on the ohlins shocks on the bmw, and my shocks look like new.... a larger rear hugger will keep the rear end cleaner though, your call... ;)

[Tubulchain]

That sucks I was told the price was $13,999 by the dealer just last week. Maybe he was wrong I hope not.

[MIghty]

I did see the post on the ktm forum and saw the Simpson site. I'll look at streetfighter. Thanks

[zimm]

Forgive the double post- I put this on the "what did you do to your KTM today thread" also, but thought it deserved to be here in the 990 SMT thread.

I installed heated grips under the stockers and put in an HID bi-xenon headlight. I put heat shrink on the left handlebar, then used an extra throttle tube size grip to fit over it. Installed the switch in the dash.

So how much brighter is it?

A lot! I haven't ridden at night yet, but it lit up the garage crazy bright.
