Just wondering if you own both models and if you're willing to pull the fuel cap off the 1190 or 990 and see if it'll fit on the 1290?

The old 990 fuel cap is smaller!

I can confirm that the 1290 and 1190 adventure are the same, while the 990 is smaller.

Thanks for the quick reply guys! So question is does the ADV cap fit a RC8? not many manufacturers making quick release carbon fiber caps for the ADV lol.

I thought the RC8 and 990 were the same...??
As others have rightly said, the 990 and 1290 are miles different. Which is why I have a qr 990 fuel filler on the shelf in my garage...

Every time I see the word "billet" in the context of an aluminium part - it just makes me laugh. Like it means something really fantastic ...
Your "cap" looks impressively plastic for "billet" piece, but I don't know anyone who runs a sportbike, who is going to want a giant protruding knob for a fuel filler cap ... Maybe "the shit" for the DAKAR poseurs ... Then again, I fail to understand how people ride with some of these giant tank bags ...
Be patient folks - I'm sure Lightech will produce their goodies for the 1290R.

1290 KTM Part is a top quality part...
Better than the 990 one.

I don't want "billet" I want a TWM CF or equivalent, but seeing as the 1190 and 990 won't fit I'll have to practice some patients.
