I probably haven't seen you in 5 years.
I like the Altrider Rack and Givi top case on the 790 alot! I like them so much I went ahead and ordered the Altrider rack for my 1290 Adv also. The OEM luggage I have on my 1290 is so heavy and wastes a so much storage space. Neither is true of the Givi top case. It will be nice to share them between the bikes. ...and just to accomodate more needs I went ahead and ordered the GIVI 42L Outback top case. That one will fit a helmet unlike my Dolomiti.

I think these are the best racks made for KTM Adventure bikes!!! They are designed to fit most boxes. You just order the mounting hardware. I have one on my 790 with my Givi top box on it.

Spending too much time on Advrider?
Lol, rarely.
I decided to take them off. Everything I have read is that KTM designed these tanks and guards to be dropped so I am just going to do without.
Suspension goal? Bang for the buck, sprung for my weight with some to spare for gear. Stock photos below. The goodies should be in in just a few weeks.

I wish I would have seen this earlier. I might have been able to keep my hand grabs if I had gone this route on my 1290.I think these are the best racks made for KTM Adventure bikes!!!

That one really looks nice!
If you're going to do much off-roading, you better replace that factory skid plate soon!
Definitely part of the plan. It at least has a Touratech reinforcement kit installed. I still isn’t that sturdy.
I hadn’t planned to but I went ahead and installed a center stand. Because I park my 790 between my trailer and my garage door for east access I really need it to stand straight up to maximize space. I could store the 790 on the trailer with my DRZ but it is just more work every time I want to ride.

Bought a Mosko Backcountry 30L duffle.
Getting ready for my first camping trip off the 790 next weekend. I spent the morning trying to figure out how I want to pack on the 790 for camping. I managed to get 98% of my camping and cooking gear in the 30L Mosko duffle. I am just going to leave my camping gear in the duffle for grab and go in the future. Tools in the smaller right pannier. Clothes and rain gear in left. Cameras and other tech in my lockable Givi hard top case along with extra space for any trip souvenirs.

Are you sponsored by Klim and Altrider?
DUH....why else would he have the stickers???
Lol, The Klim and Altrider decals are there from the previous owner. I removed a few decals already. “Protected by Pitbull” is mine. if I recal the Klim sticker is covering up a scratch on the swing arm
I did buy the first bit of Klim gear in my life a few months ago. Summer gloves. I ride enough that most of the gloves I have been buying have to be replaced every year. I am hoping the Klim gloves hold up to their reputation.

Below is a photo of the Vanasche Billet 890/790/390 GPS Mount from MotoMinded.com. I like the fact that it already has a pathway for the power cable. The mount places any GPS at the same angle as the LCD. I will have to determine later whether I wish it were adjustable or not. MotoPumps makes a similar mount that is adjustable but at a higher price point.
This one has a pathway for the cables also but it's a lot cheaper than the Vanasche. It's the one I used.
It won’t work with the ZumoXT. At least that is what I read. … unless you use ram mounts. I will be able to confirm soon because I accidentally ordered your mount with the Vanasche. For some reason i thought i needed both.
So…. It may or may not be up for sale soon.
