This is the most beautiful KTM Adventure bike EVER!!!!! I mean, KTM should pay you to be their chief esthetics designer because they would triple their sales for sure! Absolutely love it!!!!! And kudos for adding the front Rally fender, The bike sort of looks noseless without it, I will do the same when I buy one of those!👍🏻 Blows out of the water the whole competition. By the way, what brand is the front fender you added? Thanks.
Cool bike! Regarding your hand guards. Great looking also with the orange color. I have tried looking for similar with no luck. Can you send a link to where to get those?
Just picked up a 19 KTM 1290 SAR...liked and subscribed 👍 I love the graphics and I hope you don't mind another bike running around that looks like yours!
Hey mate, what foot pegs are you running please? I’m a tall guy and thinking of putting lower larger pegs on and looking for ideas/suggestions. Cheers Awesome channel by the way. 👍🏽
Great bike. Great mods. KTM should offer some of their ADV models without mirrors, pegs, levers or exhausts since most owners tend to change those components almost straight away.
That is the best looking 1290 on the planet. Dead sexy looking, sounding, and running. Thanks for the info on the mods. I recently picked up a 2018 1290 SAR it has some mods but there is always more to be done. lol
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad I retired in October and still it can still be a challenge to find time to ride. Today I’m gearing up to take mine on a lil 500 mile run. New tires,chain, sprockets, and an oil change. All I have to compare the bike to is the Alan America that I had but in my initial around town rides, I’m impressed.
Nice setup. I just picked up a 2015 1190 with only 700 miles on it. Just has a touratech skid plate and Akrapović slip on exhaust. Pretty much a blank canvas. Have a Rottweiler stage 3 intake and stage 3 sas delete on the way. I’m gonna give that cat delete you did a go! Maybe order a tusk tang bag 😎✌🏼
Hey brother. Awesome channel! Happily SUBSCRBED. I have a 2017 KTM 1290, and I'm currently in Central America on a Round the World tour. Heading to South American a few months. Let me know where you were located, and if you want to collaborate on some TH-cam videos together. I have some ideas that might interest you. Thanks. All the best. Ascanio
I don’t know the exact seat height on mine, but I’m 5’11” and I can only tip toe on each side. Or put one foot down. That is with the KTM power parts seat in low position. Hopefully this helps!
Looking great! I will suggest Quadlock Phone case and the wireless charging mount. Keeps my Note 20 fully charged and frees up a USB port. I solved Action Camera battery issues by running hard lines to the camera. I'm not using go pro but other makes and for a nominal cost (11.00) I got an extra water housing, cut a hole in the side of the water housing where the MicroUSB port is and plug and run all day. Bugs hit the housing lens and a little water cures that. Hi fender kit looks great! Your camping setup shows that "team orange" is adding to your factory look. Not that you planned it (or maybe you did!), you managed on the ride to Hull Mountain to include the new 2021 color scheem of orange blue and white via the packaging of the Chili Mac!! Love your trip to Hull Mountain, ride looks amazing... I gotta get out of this concrete toilet of SoCal!
Hey Dale, thanks for your comment! I actually am using a quad lock case and mount in the Hull Mountain Video, I just don’t use the wireless charger. Either way, you have to use a usb cable for the wireless charging pad, or to plug the phone in, so I opted to just plug it in. I’ll keep that in mind about plugging in the GoPro though, I just don’t particularly like the idea of being “tethered” to the bike, if you know what I mean. I actually didn’t plan that with the tent surprisingly, I’ve had that tent a good bit longer than I’ve had the bike, but it worked out well! And I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Hope you can get out and adventure soon!
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad You are welcome. I'm glad the orange comment was viewed as positive cuz I LOVE the color and whether you planned it or not, it all just looks so stylish. And why not look cool too! I really like my wireless charging setup for the phone especially when I am getting on an off all time (short rides to work etc.) As for being "teathered"... In my instance, the cam is mounted to the bike. But I've thought about that an on-body mounting consideration and the easy solution is a "Powerbank" stuffed into a pocket then the wire out a sleeve (somewhere). If you had an "Antigravity" battery I bet it would power an action cam for a week 24-7! The other upside of the powerbank inside your jacket, you keep the battery warm and though the GP/Acton Cam's battery is cold the remote power is still flowing. If I say that real fast, maybe I can convince myself it will work! With cold weather in the area I may have to test this theroy.
When you buy the lights it will come with a wiring harness, just route it through the frame and connect it to the battery. Everything else on the harness is plug and play. 🤙
cool bro, cant wait to get mine.. still managing negotiations

Upshift will no longer sell the graphics kit for the 2019.
Hello. Is possible graphics kit for Ducati Multistrada Enduro ?? Thank's
I’m not sure honestly. I got this kit from upshift.com I would check there and see what they have.
Hey mate, what foot pegs are you running please? I’m a tall guy and thinking of putting lower larger pegs on and looking for ideas/suggestions. Cheers
Awesome channel by the way. 👍🏽
Hey man! These pegs are IMS adv 2 pegs. And thank you!
Awesome. I was looking at IMS 👍🏽. Thanks
Great bike. Great mods. KTM should offer some of their ADV models without mirrors, pegs, levers or exhausts since most owners tend to change those components almost straight away.
Interesting thought! Knock a few thousand off and let people put that into mods. 🤔 glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

Thanks for the info on the mods. I recently picked up a 2018 1290 SAR it has some mods but there is always more to be done. lol
Thank you! I love the bike. Wish I had more time to ride recently. But it’s a wonderful machine.

You forgot the high front fender.
Really debating swapping my 1250 GSA for a KTM 1290 SAR. They look like fun, aggressive bikes.
Wow you threw the book at it👍🏻
Sweet looking bike!
How’s the KTM GPS mount performing?
Any thoughts on KTM GPS mount please?
Are you referring to the one up above the screen?
Yes mate

Nice specs and bike 🚀🚀🚀
Anybody has problem with TFT Display? If so how did you fix it?
Amazing bike, great mods dude!! Keep going.
Hey buddy, do your clutch levers work with the quick shifter?? Thanks
Yep! Everything functions normally. And the clutch safety switch works so you can pull the clutch while it’s in gear and start it still.
Hi, how tall you are? i have 1190adv S whit this ergo in high position. i have 183cm. and i want buy 1290R and swap seats. can i put leg on ground? :D

very nice bike 👍
Hey man what about the high front mudguard? Awesome bike👍🏻
Good point! I forgot to mention that in the video. It’s a tusk high fender kit, modified slightly with spacers to work with the upper crash bars.
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad Cheers!

Good call on the smaller tank bag. More room.
SBF
More room for my belly!
@@EpicAdventuresOffroad amen.
Up front are the lights and the front wheel, the motor is in the middle, and out back we have more lights and another wheel!
More or less!
could you tell me where the conection goes for the water lights?
When you buy the lights it will come with a wiring harness, just route it through the frame and connect it to the battery. Everything else on the harness is plug and play. 🤙
hello ...beautiful motorcycle.. you can tell me the brand of the mirrors...thank you
Thank you! The mirrors are - Rottweiler Bar End Mirrors
What’s your front fender?
It’s a tusk high fender kit, modified slightly with spacers to work with the upper crash bars.
