I have a similar setup on my 2022 KTM SDR. A larger SW Motech tank bag and a Nelson-Rigg on the back. How do you like that tire puncture kit? I don't have much extra room but that looks small enough to be worth taking. I miss the room I had for storage on my Kawasaki with the saddle bags. I was going to get them for the SDR but decided not to. I'll be uploading videos with the new bike soon.
The little compressor works well but slow, maybe 5 mins to get enough pressure to get you to a petrol station to fully pump the tyres. The little rubber plugs are the real deal, I have use mushroom plugs and some metal device that pushes them in but they just dont seal. The rubber bungs I use have lasted the life of a tyre including trackdays etc. I did also use to carry little CO2 canisters which work but tend to be heavy and bouncing around in you tail storage is a bit annoying. Fort Nine did a good review of tyre puncture kits, he had same conclusion.
i’m looking at both those small rear bags, one expands to 16litres and the other 30litres. i don’t have a lot of distance behind me so wondering if they are both same distance front handle to back tip. which bad do you prefer? the original 30 litre one is bigger but is the newer 16litre one better all round?
The one I have is 36 and is still on their website. I would avoid 16 that is a bit too small for touring. If you are just commuting get the really small one. www.ktm.com/en-au/parts---wear/powerparts/products.html?c1=1001509640&product=1002027685
Its from Hare and Forbes (AU equivalent of Harbour Freight) has been very good especially for sand blasting where you need a lot of air, but does not need 3 phase power. Ross V Twin 205 litres/min. I did have a cheap little compressor before which still works so hooked it up in parallel to boost the size of the tanks and it kicks in if the Ross is running out of puff. www.machineryhouse.com.au/Articles/ross-air-compressor.
Thanks for uploading this, dude. I just scored some of these side bags for my gen 1 and I was looking to see how the fitted with a tail pack.
Many thanks for the video! Greetings from Germany! Have a good one!
