Awesome videos. I’m very excited about this series as I too am thinking about getting an 890R and plan on using it half the time as a longer distance touring machine. You’re the only creator showing this side of the 890.
Thanks! I love the 890 so far. I have a few more vids coming soon as well as an epic long haul trip in the works for the Duke ( like over 10,000 miles/16,000 kms) which should produce some interesting content hopefully :) 🤙
I Bought the KTM Powerparts bag It's 5L-9L Expanded, Might need to see if I can find this bag or a similar sized one for Longer trips (Seems this one is discontinued). On another note get the optional Cruise Control I picked it up for my 890 Duke and wouldn't live without it now.
@@pavechaser Nice, I put about 700km on my Bike without it, then about another 4300km with it wouldn't live without it at this point, wish they would have told me that it was an option when I was buying the bike would have just had it installed before I picked up the bike.
very nice setup I almost brought the same setup as yours(saddle bags/crashbars) except for the tank bag in which I brought the KTM powerparts model. how is this bike going with you so far? I want to take it for a tour soon but I'm afraid due to the cams issue, is it working well so far? I have changed the fork seals, thermostat housing, radiator hoses, and waiting for valve cover gasket. so many issues yet it's fun to ride.
Thanks! 🙂 - I believe they usually sell through a distributor/retailer model. If you email them directly (from their website) and ask where you can buy their products in your country, they should be able to point you in the right direction. (I had to email them to get directed to a retailer in Canada to locate and purchase the proper tank ring) - good luck!
I noticed that you have bar end mirrors but have left the original mirror fixing on ? did you know theres a KTM cheap part that deletes the ugly 'stalk '. I have them on my 890GP they look so much better
Yes, I left them there as I actually use them to attach ram mount accessories to such as camera mounts, phone holder and even mug holders for long touring trips!
What type/model of SW Motech tank bag is that? I can not found on SW Motech website, seem discontinued or .. Can you share where I can buy that models?
Thanks for your recommendations. I have the Duke 790 and your advice is very useful.
I've got a 2019 790 Duke that I'm considering turning into a long distance touring bike. Your videos are super helpful and informative. Thank you!!
Thank you. Glad they are helpful!

Yes I do have the cruise control installed already LOL it’s another video coming down the pipe lines once I get past this little busy season I’m in 😁

Thank you. I’ve had absolutely no problems with it so far! 🤞
A very useful video, as usual, question: I cannot find the Tank bike on the SW Motech website, I live in France, is this part available worldwide?

Can you share where I can buy that models?
Yes, unfortunately I believe they have discontinued this tank bag - which is quite unfortunate as it was the perfect shape and design. 😭
@@pavechaser may I know the model/type is? So maybe I can found in the internet who still have this model.. thanks
It is the Evo Engage
Did you get a windshield?
Yes I did! (Sorry for delay, life got really busy for a short bit). I did video on the windshield install as well!
How many litres is that bag rated at?
About 7 litres if I’m not mistaken
