Great bags...they come in larger sizes if you need more storage. The XL size has 17L per side. Love how light these bags are and still allow you to carry a pillion if necessary unlike the Mosko Moto R80's.
Hi Codger, Good news I've spoken to my local dealer today after sending them pictures of my second TFT with the misting up. He called KTM and they confirmed that there is a revision coming out in the new year 👏🎺. So based on this information I have decided to wait until after Xmas , then ask for update before putting in another warranty claim. Hopefully this will cheer up follow owners 😁
Hi Gary. You are a star. Even Kevin never brought such good news!!!! I wonder if there will be a recall. I wonder also if I should sit tight then for now, it seems sensible. 👍
Thanks Gary. It is really appreciated. Isolation breeds inaction and it appears there are many riders in the same position. I'm hoping a recall will happen - let's see...
Thanks for doing the vid on these bags. Im still on fence between these and the mosko 80's. Question is, I could see, when you opened up the bags, the dent of that sharp angle of the side plastic panels pushing into the bag. Would these work better with side panels off bike or do you thing they are needed to provide distance away from the bike and wheel for the bags. thanks, zim
You could probably use them either way. There is quite a lot of optional adjustment in the various straps and buckles to suit most bikes/configurations. They are expensive I think, but have proved useful on extended trips.
Hi Codger, what kind of glasses do you wear, I would need a solution couse I have Astigmatism and I mostly ride without glasses and my eyes also do not withstand contact lenses. Bdw nice review! Thanks for reply!... bye
I am lucky in that I have become long-sighted so I do not need glasses to ride. But I like to have my visor open. So I tried those safety glasses you can see on the seat to protect me from insect strikes. I did not like them. So I went back to the internal sun visor inside the helmet. This week I changed my helmet. It has no internal visor, so I am back to thinking about it once more 👍
He’s an absolute star. He’s also tall and young (git!) You have a whole adventure playground right outside your front door (I am so jealous)! Every Moose ride is an adventure. BTW Have you changed your logo?
@@CodgerBiker Aye, he's a right brainy f'er to boot! Worked hard for it though. Seems like a nice fella. I see he put out a new video today looking for sponsors so he can take part in a big enduro along the old Paris/Dakar route. Yeh, I tried a couple of ideas over the last few days and then thought I'd just use the same logo as I have at the start of my Moose vids. Keeps everything familiar.
I think you are gearing up for a thing ending in 8! Ha ha. I wish I had your patience/skill in editing/production. I've always been slapdash and I suppose it is too late to change. Lyndon's shop was the only place that did what they said they would, i.e. deliver the heatshield I had paid for. All you can ask for, it was here the following day. Respect. 👍
@@CodgerBiker Best way to get repeat customers is by offering them prompt delivery, and if you can't for one reason or another, keep them in the loop. I'd rather pay an extra couple of quid for that kind of service any day. GoPro 8 is super tempting but will have to wait until I can convince myself that I really need one. Hopefully this winter is a short one. More free time at this time of year but nothing to edit.
Agree on all points. I’ll wait and see how the ‘media mod’ turns out. I’m happy with the 7. The glitches do happen, as you know (you warned me) but it’s manageable and does the job for my purposes (usually). If you get an 8 then you could do a winter vlogger’s review. I’ll be watching 😉👍✌️
Hi Codger. I took the 790 adventure for a test ride today. I commented on one of your ealier blogs about changing 790 Duke for the adventure. The bike I took out had condensation droplets on top right of tft screen. Whilst waiting for the bike a gentleman came in and said he was there for a tft screen change. When I asked if it was a 790 adventure the ktm dealer said no but wouldn't elaborate. I said to him I'd seen you tube blogs about the screen and he said no one had complained. I took a picture of it but don't know how to upload it to show you.
Hello. Well at least you are forewarned. I’m sure they’ll sort it in time, but it’s not something the dealers can deny. I still love the bike, it just fits me so I shall persevere... 👍
@@CodgerBiker I loved it. They're going to ring me tomorrow with a price for my duke but I think I'll be losing too much money. If the price is right I'll have it.
Hi Anthony. Yes the price difference is BIG. Especially when you consider the Duke comes with QuickShift+and Sport/track modes as standard. Quickshift and Rally modes are extras on the 790adv (I think they are required as well as heated grips). Maybe you could negotiate to get those things thrown in (£600 worth). Just a thought. Good luck, both bikes are superb in any event.
Hey Codger great video! I got the touratech version, do you tie them to your passenger pegs or what looks like tie down points behind the drivers pegs? Thanks!
Nice review. I like the bright, high contrast material on the inside. Looking at going the same route on the Africa Twin. Hard top case and soft saddlebags. Though the straps over the seat are a concern as the Mrs does like to occasionally ride and my youngest is looking forward to riding pillion on his school run when the temps are a bit warmer. Perhaps an Airhawk pad would be in order. Peace!
I like the way they sit on the bike. I did not have them when I had my AT. A pillion might fit, you’d have to see how the ergonomics panned out. Not cheap, but look like they’ll last. 👍
In terms of capacity they can be pinched right up to about half. Widthwise they are adjustable, across the seat, though I found once set I left them alone.
They are adjustable. You’d end up lower on the exhaust, so would definitely need a guard. Also I find that rear seat has to be just perfectly positioned before it engages, so it might not click into place with those straps between it and the subframe.
They changed it for me after a few weeks. There are reports of an updated TFT, so I am waiting for confirmation before asking for another. Not heard anything about 1290. I know there were a few 790 Duke replacements in early days. I had a 790 Duke and it was fine.
Hi Martin. Yes, here’s hoping. It would be sensible, but then again it is KTM 😉 I’ve resisted guards so far. I want to keep it light. BUT also I am considering the same for light fitting as well as extra protection... so, you never know 👍
You can use it without if you tighten the straps (on the stock exhaust), on that side. It lifts it above. Slightly reduces the capacity. With the Wings it has its own guard so did not need the Enduristan heat shield. I would recommend the heatshield with the stock can.
I think if the TFT is not sealed then that is likely (and good) as ventilation will remove moisture. I think these KTM units are sealed, so there is no where for the moisture to go, it will evaporate in warmth and condense in cold forever - inside the glass - , or until a component fails. They changed mine once already. 👍
Yes I have the cartridge kit and the dynaplug kit. These fit in a tank bag. I just put the compressor in for demo purposes and to mention the fuse issue. 👍
Always best to be prepared. There are 2 holders in the side panels I can use also when travelling light. I was a tyre fitter for a time in my youth, it made me aware of what can happen. Never skimp on tyres and always be prepared . Unfortunately many people are not... 👍😉
You are getting ready for a trip around the world, XD, congratulations on how you are fitting your bike. I like the way it looks.
Cheers for that! I am not sure Mrs Codger would agree, ha ha! But it is a thought 👍
Great bags...they come in larger sizes if you need more storage. The XL size has 17L per side. Love how light these bags are and still allow you to carry a pillion if necessary unlike the Mosko Moto R80's.
Yes they work well for me. I have a top box if I need more, but prefer the bags. NOT cheap! 👍
I'm also looking into getting these bags. Would an XL fit neatly on the 790 ADV as well?
You might need an exhaust guard, such as the Enduristan Inferno.

@@anthonybrowning3652 check out northamptonmoto.co.uk £9799 I think alot of dealers have reduce the S but not the R.
That’s a big saving. I’d still negotiate for extras though. You do not need to be hasty as winter approaches they need to sell stock.
Hey Codger great video! I got the touratech version, do you tie them to your passenger pegs or what looks like tie down points behind the drivers pegs? Thanks!
Cheers. It was more compact that way 👍
Perhaps you told it before, but what brand of top luggage rack do you have? Is it from Perun?
Yes, there's a couple of videos about it. Useful for top box with a simple kit also th-cam.com/video/0rlJYecEQLI/w-d-xo.html

In terms of capacity they can be pinched right up to about half. Widthwise they are adjustable, across the seat, though I found once set I left them alone.
@@CodgerBiker thanks.
Hi. Nice review. Do you think it would work to run the top straps under the seat to allow carrying the wifey?
They are adjustable. You’d end up lower on the exhaust, so would definitely need a guard. Also I find that rear seat has to be just perfectly positioned before it engages, so it might not click into place with those straps between it and the subframe.
@@CodgerBiker That makes sense. Thanks for the response.
No problem 👍
The TFT keeps fogging what are KTM Austria saying, and is this fault found on the 1290 -R
They changed it for me after a few weeks. There are reports of an updated TFT, so I am waiting for confirmation before asking for another. Not heard anything about 1290. I know there were a few 790 Duke replacements in early days. I had a 790 Duke and it was fine.
Good video 👍
Fingers crossed for a recall on the TFT .
Have fitted the tourtech lower tank guard's...good fit and in my opinion look good...😁
Hi Martin. Yes, here’s hoping. It would be sensible, but then again it is KTM 😉 I’ve resisted guards so far. I want to keep it light. BUT also I am considering the same for light fitting as well as extra protection... so, you never know 👍
@@CodgerBiker it hasn't made much difference to the weight..I am also considering lights 👍
Tempting! 😀
What size is on your side bags?
Large 👍
Hi! I’d like to know if you found the heat shield necessary?
You can use it without if you tighten the straps (on the stock exhaust), on that side. It lifts it above. Slightly reduces the capacity. With the Wings it has its own guard so did not need the Enduristan heat shield. I would recommend the heatshield with the stock can.
Codger Biker Thanks very much! Both my husband and I have the standard 790 Adventures and thoroughly enjoy your videos 😁👌🏻👌🏻
IMPRESSIVE 2 x 790 Adv S!!!
Thank you! I enjoy making them and, of course, so does Ludwig 😉👍
Codger Biker 😁👌🏻
I had the same condensation problem in the mt-09 tracer . I did nothing and one day the condensation dessapeared
Yes it disappears above 15 degrees. Unfortunately it is often much lower temperatures around these parts. 👍
@@CodgerBiker what I mean is that it dessapears for ever. I think it was during summer time. The next winter it didn't appear.
I think if the TFT is not sealed then that is likely (and good) as ventilation will remove moisture. I think these KTM units are sealed, so there is no where for the moisture to go, it will evaporate in warmth and condense in cold forever - inside the glass - , or until a component fails. They changed mine once already. 👍
Looks slick on your bike sir. Isnt it easyer to carry a tyre repair set with some gas cartridge in it? Takes a lot of space those tings:)
Yes I have the cartridge kit and the dynaplug kit. These fit in a tank bag. I just put the compressor in for demo purposes and to mention the fuse issue. 👍
@@CodgerBiker si si... Mine fits back behind the tail light... Saved me ones... 😊
Yes it’s a good idea to have it on the bike so we don’t forget. On that day there will be a puncture ! 😀👍
@@CodgerBiker2. time in 24 years of riding i have had a flat tyre😊... lm lucky to have a roomy space under the seat..
Always best to be prepared. There are 2 holders in the side panels I can use also when travelling light. I was a tyre fitter for a time in my youth, it made me aware of what can happen. Never skimp on tyres and always be prepared . Unfortunately many people are not... 👍😉
Will get those bags size L as well, really like them!
Good for short trips, but expensive 👍
