Well, where to begin? I can't remember what I may have posted up previously, humble apologies if I repeat anything....
I collected the 1290 new nearly a year ago now, cherry-picked a few bits from the PP catalogue; Akrapovic silencer, rider's seat, tail tidy, plus the track pack bundle of ones and zeros to allow me to deactivate the Anti-Wheelie.
Premier Bikes were offering the QuickShifter as a freebie and I can't say I don't like it - have to be quick and positive with the shifts though, it grumbles if you're a bit slow.
Add-ons so far have been:
1. A set of R&G crash bungs and case protectors - regarding the bungs, they offered two levels so I chose the cheaper ones, for which you get a teardrop profile bung that bolts directly into the upper Engine mount. In use I found that these were only just ahead of my knees, close enough to be irritating, so I ended up separately buying the bits that made up the more expensive kit, namely brackets to relocate the bungs further forwards and away from my knees.
2. A radiator guard from our very own SuperDan - I ordered one for me and one for my wife's 790 and they were up to Dan's usual high standard and prompt delivery. Fitting to the 790 was simplicity itself, but the 1290 was more difficult due to the fan shrouds so I wasn't able to feed the mini cable ties through the corners of the rad elements as I'd have preferred. This is no reflection on Dan's guards, just KTM making fitment to the 1290 a bit fiddlier than it needed to be.

3. (Not directly for the bike, but related, sort of) - Since 2010 my road helmet was a limited edition Steve Hislop replica Arai (for those unaware, Hizzy was a top superbike racer a bit along the lines of Jorge Lorenzo, super tidy and smooth, and devastatingly quick when everything was as he wanted it, but struggled with issues when they weren't to his liking. In 2003, while reigning British Superbike Champion, he sadly lost his life when his helicopter crashed). The Hizzy lid was bubblegum pink, stood out very clearly and people said that when I was leading a ride-out it was super easy to spot and follow. I decided to retire it last year as it was into its 10th year of service. To replace it I wanted something similarly vivid, but there was nothing that really floated my boat, so I bought another Arai and had it painted orange (natch) with a design layout slightly reminiscent of the Hizzy lid. It was delivered at 08:30 on the morning of a weekend ride-out that I was leading....

4. While in Wales over the Easter break I spotted another 1290 with a fairly tidy looking little screen on it so I accosted the owner and asked where he found it - turns out it's a genuine KTM screen from a 690 I think, and an enterprising guy in Slovakia laser cuts, folds, and powder coats brackets in stainless steel for both gen 1290 SDRs and others. The guy's name is Frane Pavic I think and he does his business through Facebook (which I don't use) - if you search FS-CNC you should find him. Prices posted are about £138 or $150 US. The kit arrived promptly and fitting isn't difficult - as an engineer I've suggested an improvement to fitting by cutting Ø9.6mm holes in the bracket to properly locate the M5 Wellnuts supplied with the kit - hopefully he'll adopt my suggestion. When riding at speed along straight roads I've noticed very slight buffeting on the lid but it isn't bad. I have to admit that I found the 1290 very good for wind blast considering it's a naked bike.

5. Again, not directly for the bike, but very influenced by it - my rear tyre is about shot now with approximately 3800 on the odometer - a run up to Scotland and back last weekend saw it just about down to the wear markers. A new Metz ME7 RR would have been £195 from my supplier, but I got a Conti Road Attack 3 for £169. Then came the joyful bit of removing the rear wheel for the first time - or at least trying to... I dutifully removed the silencer and assembled by specially-purchased 60mm socket, ¾" to ½" adapter and 750mm breaker bar, Chicky (my wiff) dutifully standing on the rear brake... nothing... added a tube to the end of the breaker bar and put some weight behind it, the breaker bar bending like a twig... nothing. Today I took the plunge and found a place selling the DeWalt DCF899 Rattle Gun kit cheaper than anywhere else so I bought one via eBay - a mate has one and raves about it, so hopefully it will do the business.

Wheelies - they ARE big, and they ARE clever....
