what kit did you get chop? i need to do this. i canst stand the giant arm stock lights... and the one that sits right in front of the pipe got melted off anyway.

Ktm Off Road Taillight Kit by Enduro Engineering.

Started out by pulling off the stock taillight kit. Pulled the seat off. Loosen the side plastic. Drilled holes on both sides of the new tail fin for the turn signals. Took a knife and carved a channel in the plastic for the wires that come out of the turn signals so they would nest without getting pinched. A little lock tight and double stick tape and turn signals are secured to the tail fin. Spent a few minutes getting the wires to lay flat in the channels of the tail fin. Once I got them to all sit flat I put some black tape over them to keep them in position. screwed the tail fin to the fender, tucked the wires nice and tight, then zipped tight the excess together under seat. Put everything back together and took it for a spin. :ride:

I looked at pictures of abnormal wear on my valves (on ktmtalk), tired of 4 strokers.

530ktm · Jun 29, 2011

I actually gave it a dusting, started it up and let it run for a few minutes. I have new grips going on this weekend so I will be ready to ride when the time comes. :thinking:

But you have only 2 strokes, where as we have 4, which means, wait for it, we can go twice as fast as youz guyz. :prof:
