Same mount where the horn is, just reversed the horn to the inside and made another bracket from the horn mount to the motor brace/mount.
Mind shooting a photo of what you did and going into a little more detail? Really like that angle and want to copy your notion

I don't like the bulk for riding supermoto and as you mentioned, sauna.
That's why I like the mesh coat and am thinking of jeans for when I'm riding 6-7/10
I have these mesh pants:

Only use them for hot summer rides and they vent pretty well. Better than jeans, but I don't know how much more...

So apparently KTMs have stealth properties. Was out with a couple buddies and buddy #1 (lead bike) got pegged by a sheriff for speed (though we really were behaving). During buddy 1s chat with the deputy he said that he tried to, but couldn't get a lock on either of the other bikes, which were me on the KTM, riding 2nd and buddy 2 on a new type monster in the rear. Wonder if the plastic nature of the Enduro/SMC/SuMos make for a weak radar sig. Kinda wish I had a radar gun to give it a try... Though the radar speed 'signs' I've come across don't seem to have issue

hey Dan I figured out a mount - I've still got the evap canister and used that. I watched your vid again, and at 0:40 there's a side shot that shows the mount you made. The evap can is pretty damn close and I placed a flat stick mount on it.
It needs some tweaking, but going pretty well so far.
I also found that the handlebar mount wraps around the narrow portion of my slider/stand spools perfectly for a rear faced set up.

Yeah thats it!
Question, anyone else have a leaking gas cap on the 690? Ive been noticing shit milage and gas on the sides of the rear plastics. Thinking i just put too much fuel and it has a few drops falling down. But now realized the gasket on the cap is not sealing. Soo.. took the gasket from the oil filter cover (the old one) and put it under the gasket on the cap to give it some more pressure and seal. Seems to have worked. Other option was $100 for aftermarket billet filler and cap (reznaco and rally raid made).
Clutch slave also seems to be giving out, leaking fluid. I started using ATF (automatic transmission fluid) in place of the "Mineral oil" in the clutch. Working just fine, but still leaking. No rebuild kits looks like i need the after market from ktmtwins.com

Mine will leak if I over fill as the breather hose connection broke off. Otherwise it seems fine
And in reading around the clutch slaves seem to be hit or mîss. Looks like you got a miss.

don't forget to prep your camera and mount set-up with some safety wiring...there have been a few track orgs who lay the hammer down on that stuff unless it is safety wired due to the debris from them when a machine crashes that is equipped with one...

Well thanks for jinxing me!
the Roger Lyle track days don't have any listed reqs for wiring. Though bike must pass tech - not sure if a camera mount would be on their hit list.

better safe than sorry...rig it now so as to beat the tech inspection guys from doinking you and slowing you down in the whole process...also...FWIW...check the date in your helmet you plan to wear at the track!
and most of all...HAVE FUN DAMNIT!

And at the track! Early session where I hadn't figured things out and was being a bit over timid, especially in the last two lefts before the big straight where I loose my buddy on the 1100S - no passing in the turns during these sessions
So here's a taste until I loose Frank
Later in the day I was catching a little, little air coming into the banking seen at 1:28

I opened up the exhaust on the 450 and man does it run better now!
I've found that I can now throttle the front up in third. Used to only do it in second. A noticeable amount of extra torque is available.
I really like this bike
