@@TrooperTed thank you. I've been facing some problems in finding a tankbag that fits in my Africa twins because of the risers. I will try this one. Thank you my friend 💪🏼
The blue liquid is called “threadlock” and is a type of glue that stops nuts & bolts coming undone. When under vibration and other forces. Also there are two strengths - a mild one, coloured blue, as shown in the video which can be undone using normal tools and a stronger one which has a red colour. This needs heat from a blow torch to melt it and then the fasteners can be undone - don’t use red on things like this.
Ah, but the actual petrol cap itself, once you've turned the key & unlocked it, which way does it lift up? Depending on the answer I hop to be able to tell you which tank ring you'll need
@@BillDougherty-v1g then I believe you'll need the Pro tank ring (part # TRT.00.787.17000/B) for your 2024 790, but best to confirm that with the reseller so you're 100% confident you're getting the right parts. Don't forget, its rotated 180 degreees compared to most bike tank rings to allow the petrol cap open fully 👍
You are the best of all videos around explaining this process!
Thank you Pedro, glad it helped! 👍
Do you have raisers installed on your handlebars?
Hi Pedro, yes I have a set of SW Motech 28mm risers fitted to help when I'm standing up on the pegs

I taugh it was to lube it so if there is dirt in the thred it doesent brake as fast
Tanks fpr the explanation!
I have a 2024 KTM 790 adventure does this bag require a special adapter?
When you open the fuel cap, does it pivot towards the front of the bike, or the rear of the bike?
I actually don’t have it yet. P/U next week
But if your sitting on the bike it flips towards you to acces the key portion

@@TrooperTed ok the hinge is at 12 o’clock so it opens toward the handlebars
