Sweet. Perfect tires for the bike.
Yes! Now we can get back on the road!
Agreed, I'm loving them on my Strom. Best part is the way I ride I can't tell any difference when on the street!

NICE BIKE!!! Do they just come in blue??? 
One thing these bikes have a history of is a little bit of wobble in the 40-50 mph range. I hope you do not have this problem. But if you do, what I have found that works to fix it, is to raise the forks about 10mm into the triple tree. My buddy installed a Scotts stabilizer. My solution was about $500 cheaper.

Nifty way to ship forks? I did a PIA of boxing mine up when I sent them to Traxxion. When I got them back, I stored away the nice purpose built box Traxxion shipped them in. But I like this idea.

This one came with the bike. Honestly, I haven't had enough seat time on it yet to notice any bad habits it might have. Gonna work on that real soon.

And the test results are...?
I can't speak for the bike but saw the forks the in the gun case....I shoulda shipped mine that way but was afraid someone would see the case and steal it during shipping. The UPS packages here get stolen a lot and UPS was the shipper GoRace preferred, so old skool cardboard box it was.
Anyway, I'm sold on tuning the suspension. It's expensive but gosh dang does it make the bike feel great and easier to ride. Now I'm thinking of doing the same to my TTR just because.

Food for thought here... insure the shipment for way more then it's worth. If they do get stolen, when you get reimbursed go ahead and upgrade to what you can afford with the moola..win win...

I can do that for ya when I get home from the salt mine. I have a complete list of the ktm parts I ordered. The fork protectors needed a weeee bit of field modifications. Not my prettiest work but they are solid.
