The Factory panners have mounts that bolt to the subframe. You remove the plastic covers each side. There are threaded holes under there for it.Originally Posted by Ocean1
So something like this (but better quality) should be a piece of piss to make along with not being stupid wide.

I had the pleasure of inspecting and hearing a Wings slip-on on a big bore KTM yesterday. Very nice pipe. Well priced compared to the big name units too apparently.

You find the Powersports seat much better than the stocker?Yeah they are very nice.
ZZZZZZZZZZ
Short answer would be no. Bit more comfort than stock, but the extra 20mm seat height takes a little getting used to.
I probably wouldn't have bothered, only I picked them up cheap on TM.
Overall it's fairly comfortable and I've managed a 1240km day in the saddle without too much discomfort.

If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

Bugger. I leap on to KB to post a 10 hour old video and....................... Yama haaaaaa. That's the Japanese manufacturer having a renaissance.
Must admit, you would have to be a very good rider, ignorant of the law and picky, not to like any of them. But, where's the Tuoohno?
Oh, like the big fulla said, "wow", brakes. That was a big surprise. What tires are on the MT10?

Here's my opinion of the video.
It's all bollocks.
The are all fantastic bikes performing well beyond most riders ability. Shit I'd never use that much power on the road!
If it was my coin - it would come down to the bike/deal I found suited me best. Even if it comes down to physical appeal of the ride - it's your money, your ride.
Oh wait - that's how I ended up on my DucatiLife is bloody wonderful.
As a side note - physical appeal is subjective - but I could not buy a bike I did not find physically appealing - hey I;m a visual beast, if it down not put a grin on my face as I pass it in the garage I'm not interested.

All bollocks? No, just another opinion. All fantastic bikes? Ohhhhh yes! Bike/deal? Absolutely. Wonderful? Deep joy.
My caveat is that I prefer performance and good design over looks. When I think of how my bikes look I visualise what I see sitting on it. Is it cleanable, how easy to change the oil etc? That's what I would start thinking about after the shocking test ride. We all have separate priority's for bikes.
Having said all that. Me and my bud were talking about a bike to keep in the shed next to the practical ones last night. Something to stick an evil grin on your face starting it, a bit hooligan but lowish seat height, power wheelies, temporarily tourable. hairpin and fast sweeper friendly.
His bike of choice for Northland? Ducati Hyperstrada. I'd never heard of it but reckon he does have a good case for best sub sonic, all rounder, hooligan bike.

He has a point. I seriously looked at the Hyper last year compared to the Streetfighter. Strada is a hyper that tours well! Fun! Me - I've one of those motorcyle based backpacks - figure that will do me for a overnight 450/450 km spin from Christchurch to Nelson or Wanaka. Hmm may need another night north to enjoy the Takaka hill ............
Hyperstrada has a new donk for 2016.
