Thank you guys.
The Viaterra Fly is good but the Rynox Optimus S looks to be good option as well especially since the capacity is 30 litres?
My only apprehension is that the suction may not be strong enough when sudden and heavy front brakes are applied. Read somewhere that it does come off in rare cases. Do we have additional straps or something other then the suction caps to secure it to the tank/frame better?
This seems to be out of stock with most online retailers.

Also approximately how much can be squeezed in the Viaterra Fly after a DSLR has already gone in. Can a Jeans/one or two T shirts and some other stuff(Deo etc) can go in as well?

Also what's the view on the Dirtsacs?

I know Motozone in Pune install dampers. I doubt you'd find many places in Kolkata

if you get a chance, do check out the viaterra raptor.. yes, its the office bag but it has quiet some capacity.. you can try to load it up as a front tank bag (not intended for but a try) since it has hooks and loops, you can hook them up to your frame and front handle bar and over it down back to frame.. for rear, you can use the claw or the saddle bags.. I use the raptor daily and it's amazing for office and short trips.. a day or two days trip can be covered with the raptor's capacity.. for more, I would suggest you go clean for the claw..

Why did you leave her without rides for two and a half months?

Good to hear about her firing right up on first crank...she really missed you...and the road!!!

Had a bad accident. :P broke my heel bone. I'm still recovering now to be honest.

Does anyone have any idea of any good tyre dealers in Pune for this? I'd rather go to a shop which has done this before, than going to someone who has no experience with dukes.

Thanks again!

Where do you live? Even I am from pune. PM me if you wanna meet. I own a duke 390.

Duke 200 - Mod ideas...

Enjoy the ride

Alternate Mudguard for Duke 200

1. Does anyone did any mod in the tyre hugger to avoid getting sprayed while riding in the rain?

2. Is there anyway to lower the angle of rear brake lever?

Brake from a distance. Always see & calculate things coming from the sides. These two things should hold you in gud stead. Don't take chances on indian roads.
But, the safest way to ride is with horns!

Thanks. I am. Unfortunately, I had ruptured my Achilles Tendon. Which is a bummer. It takes more time to heal than the bone. Even more time to regain it's strength. So even though my bone has healed, I can't put pressure on my toes yet. But I'm getting there. It's all in the mind. As for the riding safe part, I'm going to be the safest rider on the road from now on. By the way, my baby just came back. Went for a ride, still feel the same way I felt about her when I first saw her [emoji7]

Re: KTM 200 Duke

Added the 390's stock hand guard and end weights. Vibrations reduced significantly and riding her is even more fun

1. I've seen a couple of bikes that had a second hugger screwed on to the stock hugger so as to cover the entire rear wheel(something like the r15v2), an eyesore to look at and i dont think it serves the purpose of avoiding back spray.

2. No, you cant lower the brake lever (its possible only with the gear lever). You can only adjust the free play on the rear brake lever.

[MENTION=5909]sid[/MENTION] Wrong, again

Both the gear lever and the rear brake pedal can be tweaked, The rear brake pedal can be adjusted via a small nut behind the piston which an lower or extend (slightly upwards) the brake lever. The only gripe is the adjustment is not as visible for the rear brake pedal as opposed to the gear level.

I will try to put up a picture.

Cheers!

Yes please, add a picture, i took the bike to the service center, even the service center guy said that it cant be tweaked but he will increase the free play.

New front disc for duke 200

Hey, I want to ask if it's possible to retrofit the 300 mm front disc of the Duke 390 to my Duke 200?
Duke 200s are the only ones getting a 280mm front disc, and since the RC200 uses a 300mm front disc it should fit my Duke 200 too.
Is it a simple case of changing the discs or additional changes are required?

2007 - 2010	Kinetic Nova
2010 - 2015	Honda Unicorn
2014 - 2019	KTM RC 200
2017 - Today	KTM Duke 390
