Thank you Guy's, Yes I have fitted Rally Raid racks to them both but even though I had read how hot the silencer gets nothing prepares you for the reality of close to red hot and was concerned that even with the air gap the straps are going to be cooking, time will tell when the salt disappears off the roads. The ktm's are a first for us having sold a Varadero with 50000 miles on it, a 650gs and 2 Crf 250's to get them, a test ride was not likely and so we bought them blind only having read articles. So far 1x 70 mile run is all we have done and they seem fine although I think the gearbox ratio's quite odd but I'm sure we will get used to them, a lower first gear would have been nice.
