Yes after nearly a year, I'm finally getting another when the right one pops up.

I'm NEVER selling mine. I've owned it 6 months now and of the 18 bikes i've ever owned it is EASILY the BEST bike I have had the pleasure of owning.

NEVER!!!!!

Mine will be on the market in a couple weeks when my new one turns up

Yep, understand, after my brief time on my 990 last year, there was simply no comparison, well maybe the new one....

I have had mine on for over 5 years. They are awesome Aussie pipes.

I didnt mean an 1190

Looking for some pannier racks, I want ones that sit forward, are the Dalby ones the best (and still available?), or what else is recommended? Don't want the SWMotech ones.

Wilmo - I have Dalby moto racks and Andy Strapz bags. They are a really good combination. Give Laurie (at DM) a call on 07 46606666 to enquire.

Is there any more news on availability of the uni-filters for the 990. Does any one have an opinion on the suitability of these items? They look alright to me

Thanks 2up !!

I like to give the local gear a run $$ first.

My understanding is that you can order direct from uni - or from your local KTM dealer. About $100 IIRC. ....and soon to be 950 specific as well!!

Ill be trying one to see how it stacks up against my current paper/prefilter arrangement. If its good I'll be modifying the airbox to let more in than the snorkel will allow.

well Gee1 I'm sure everyone will have a different opinion to me but my thoughts are that by using a unifilter as well as the std filter isn't the ideal situation. A unifilter has a reasonably dense foam and so offers a certain amount of airflow restriction on top of the flow restriction of the std filter.
Another problem I see with the unifilter is that it lowers the air-intake height which can be a problem fording rivers. I actually use a self made sock from fuel tank foam which is very open and has very little restriction, I soak the sock in waterproof filter oil then ziptie it onto the original KTM rear facing snout. In my experience using this method, the original stays cleaner for a lot longer as the dust is trapped in the sock which is open enough that it doesn't any additional restriction to the engine.

well obviously I haven't been following this thread closely enough, i was under the impression you were asking about just adding a vertical foam sock in addition to the std filter setup so my comments aren't really relative.
