Nope. Sit tight. It'll be a few more weeks.

Well you can put me first in line, as a vendor, you are top notch.
You bet. I'll probably be flying some of the new parts in via air FedEx, and the rest surface mail (AKA slow boat) for some of the initial orders... I've got to be careful with shipping costs tho!

There really isn't much of any way to do it. KTM just didn't provide much of any provision for that.

I store my stuff in the battery compartment, got a lithium battery to make room

Yeah I have that stuffed full also but when you're trying to carry a few tools tire repair kit, pump etc. there's just not enough room on this toy.
Sounds like you need a tank bag, or a AAA membership. You aren't touring on it... And it's not an off-road back country adventure. With the extended coverage one would think the 100 mile tow distance would get you home, or at least close enough to get somebody to then fetch you with a truck if you ran into serious enough issues to need to be brought in.

5CS$! for sure! I've been searching and searching for a carbon solo seat cowl! I never ride 2up anyway.
Parts should be available soon. Stay tuned!

Excellent, Smithers! No prices posted yet, right? Also, what are the weight savings?
No prices as of yet. There will be a full announcement when I've got them in hand, not to worry. For weight savings, with most replacement of plastic with carbon, "a lot." For specific numbers, that won't be something I can answer until they are out of production and I've got some in hand which I can weigh. If you consider the difference between the foam padded seat (with heavy plastic seat pan) and the new tails tho, it'll be a decent percentage between the two tho.

That's actually really good news! I was under the impression that the stock pillion seat was pretty bulky and therefore heavy. I'm estimating an 80% weight difference from the foam seat and CF cowl.

Plus replacing heavy and high (passenger seat) with light is potentially something you'll feel.

I can't imagine how much better the bike will feel with a lower CG with this cowl and a light weight battery. Pocket rocket for sure.

Is it bright and visible enough to be safe for street use?
