My mentioning of KTM clamps is just because I've a KTM CC front end with PHDS clamps on my CRE500, and I was doing some work on the old Beastie, so the Kayaba front end on the Varg was overridden in my Bear brain.

Cripes, they come out as Black (blacker than the Frame , Phone Cradle, BB mounts shown etc) on my Monitor! The Greenies I've got mounted now, are real Kermits. I find them a bit too soft, giving a bit too much 'see sawing' of the bars, yet the Yellows, are a bit too hard. I was hoping, what I...

Hey Magoo69, a question: What softness / hardness are (what looks to me) those Black Elastomers? I've long used PHDS's on my CRE500, but I've either the Yellow or Green Elastomers to use.

I moved a mates phone to another area. He too has PHDS / top triple clamp. Not sure if it was a special clamp, or he was able to use a KTM one? Repositioning he wanted was behind and below the bars. With the Stark there's really nothing in that area to stop you. So, longer Rear PHDS bolts, a...

I, and others, are referring to earlier model pegs - I think finishing somewhere around the 2016 year, depending on the model.

Oh, another option with the older KTM pegs to consider is getting a set of standard 'take offs' from one of your mates - every man and his dog seems to 'bling' their bikes - and fit some Zip Ty 'Adventure' peg extensions. Makes them around 125mm from the mount bolt center to the outside of the...

If indeed the earlier KTM Footpegs fit, for those Tall blokes / blokettes, The 450RR pegs are a fair bit lower than the std KTM pegs of that time, and, much longer (outwards) and a bit wider (front to back). I'm pretty sure an Ankle Saver version of the 450RR pegs is available, too. Of...

Yup, the recent lines from KTM about them Not being interested in a full sized, full performance E bike, I regard as Utter Bulls**t. CFMoto and KTM are quite intertwined. Perhaps the CFMoto E MXer / Enduro, will be used by KTM in the way Honda have used Mugen in their E bike early ventures -...

In a way I'm surprised that Varg have not given thought to this problem. They could provide a power outlet, and a suitable horn, from std. To avoid potential for someone to jury rig their own, tapping into the Varg system, and, potentially royally buggering things up. Me, as I'm a electrical...

You can't get the Countershaft Center closer to the Swingarm Pivot Center? A 'rough' C to C nowadays is around the 70 / 60mm (or less) C to C on bikes with LTR. Your positioning looks Hugely longer. Look to the original CC to SA distance and Height to have the rear suspension work as it is...

Not with such bad Countershaft placement, it's not. Countershaft placement has a Huge effect on Suspension. Not only does that go back to a large CS center to Swingarm center distance of the type that was gotten rid of decades ago, the height of the CS center really would induce a lot of Squat...

It's a logical / practical placement of a radiator. Using the space vacated by (the vast majority of) ICE dirt bike airboxes. It's a far cleaner, less damage prone area for a radiator than the now standard fitment of radiators, on either side of the frame, very exposed to damage and dirt of...

Well, that 'solution' would guarantee failure.

You are a Very Lucky man, in your bad luck. (y)

I suggested a group buy, as this is where Alta owners congregate. If I owned one - I had intended to get an Alta, but they closed up just as I was going to order one - after seeing this, I'd be having a new shaft made myself. It's a quite simple shaft, compared to other main and countershafts...

So 'they' - whoever designed the shaft etc, perhaps Not Alta - put an O'ring groove into a shaft, instead of into the collar, as the vast majority of MC makers do with relation to the countershaft sealing. For a bike with, generally, such intelligent design, this ranks as base foolishness...
