    Nice, I got to ride one around a little (with 17" street tires) this summer. It's a nice piece of kit.

    From what I understand there is a kit to set up the turn signals and stuff. I have a break light switch I think. This bike will be plated for the street.

    The brake light switch is simple, it's a KTM part and it plugs in directly to the harness.

    The turn signals are pretty simple as well to make yourself and all you have to do is pull 2 small wires for the rear signals through the stock KTM harness, add a flasher and a switch and you're done
    I used a basic switch, signals, horn and lights on and off with high and low beams.

    Let me know if you have any questions

    What did you use for a break light switch (i.e. where did you get it and who makes it) and how did you mount it?

    I got the switch from the place I bought the bike (dealer) and it's a KTM part. I'll see if I can dig up the part number for ya.

    All you do is replace the rear banjo bolt in the brake line with a pressure switch, then run the wires up into the factory harness and just plug it in

    The banjo bolt switches work fine.

    The KTM's already have the wires and the light bulb for the high beam, you just have to add a switch, then wire it like the diagram that comes with the switch says to, and I used the one I posted above

    The KTM I bought is set up for enduro not MX. The minute I put my ass on the Ducati I got the Dirty Bug. The way I look at it is the only thing the Ducati lacks over the 950 KTM is ground clearance. But given the roads I would typically go on with the 950 KTM I don't think I really need the clearance.

    Anyway's I road the KTM for the first time on Sunday around my yard and it was kinda funny. I swung my leg over the seat and found that I could only touch the ground with my toes. I took it for the first spin and got use to the controls. I took it for the second spin and when I got off of the grass onto my dirt driveway, I sparked it up a bit and did a 25-30 foot hole shot from a 15mph roll. I took it for the third spin and did the same thing but this time I lofted the front end at the same time. I had a freakin woody. If I hadn't planned a street ride on Sunday with friends I wooda taken the KTM for an orientation ride. This sucks. I think I am in love.

    The Video was awsome Tim. But it would have been more convincing for me to buy it if they did the video in an off road enviroment. I could do the same type of rideing as in the video on the Ducati.

    I think I will be more off road than on next year.

    Wayne, I'm not sure that the trails in NH are open. I went to Clough this past weekend hoping to tear up some muddy trails and the entrances were closed. I wonder if that was because there may have been some flooding.....

    Anyway, I would love to hit it this weekend if there are any open trails.
