990 Adventure
How hard is it to hack a 990 Adventure or SE? Has anyone here done it?

Never been tried , nor has there been a thread in this forum asking that question.

We get asked several times every year about doing one of these. So far no one has brought us a bike to design off of. I see no real issues doing this bike.

The only difficulty I see with the 990, especially the SE, is the high center of gravity on those right-handers. As long as you can deal with that OK, I think a 990 hack would be a cool backcountry rig! Looks like on those rigs in the pics above, all of them are sitting lower than a solo bike which to me kinda makes good sense. Low profile car tires and leading links.

The biggest downfall would be the engine.

Hi boyd32450
A few years ago i was thinking about fitting a sidecar on to my ktm 950 adv . The 950 adv is gone ,so i will never know how good or bad it would have been  .I went with the bmw 1150 gsa instead. I still think that a 950 - 990 adv with a Leading link front end and the 40lt tanks would make a unreal setup for off road . That photo of the blue Romer outfit still gives me a stiffy    Cheers Ian |
