Hello ! Been a Ktm Super duke owner for 8 months. Got back from working at the mines, had $5000 to spend on a bike to get me around. So of I went in search for a new bike. My lovely lady did not see me for 2 days. When i finally came home I had no money $10000 debt and a new bike. Oops !
I test rode so many bikes it was silly. Nearly bought a Yamaha FZ1, which i rode back to back with the Ktm, the yamaha just felt lardy next to the Ktm. So i signed my life away and have been happy ever since.
Mods so far had the suspension set up, removed the gear limiter on 2nd and 3rd gear, Dna air filter. Also taken every bolt out and put silver grease on and torqued.
Planned mods, black seat, rearsets, decent levers and Akrapovic cans. Not too keen on the Ktm Akrapovic cans so may mod a pair of carbon kawasaki Zx10 cans to fit. I'm a boilermaker by trade so should not be too hard.
Look foward to meeting you all Adrian

Hey Adrian, one of the guys (Millar) did the zx10 thing to his bike - don't know if it'll help but I found these threads about it;
http://www.superduke.net/forum/viewtopi ... light=zx10
and
http://www.superduke.net/forum/viewtopi ... 2&start=20

The second one has pics about 2/3rds down... Good luck with the install!
