So far this week I got the engine back into the frame and some pieces bolted up. also realized i didnt have a good photo of the seat frame... Unfortunately these super annoying fuel lines kinked on me over multiple times moving the fuel tank so I've got a 2023 set coming, the newer models use...

Right on man, ride safe and have fun!

Today i stripped everything down again and gave the frame a half assed paint job along with tabs i extended on the fuel tank... There's a lot more that i just haven't written as I'm tired right now and just want to get out the updates. Lots of photos too.. ill probably proceed in this way of...

SEAT FRAME CONTINUED Ive never welded aluminum before or fabricated a piece like this but i went for it. Still need to finish a few spots in the tight angle tube intersections and add tabs for mounts/smooth some edges but I'm stoked how its come together... ive wanted to do this for years. I...

FOAM MOCKUP Will probably take me one or 2 more tries to get this seat foam shaped correctly...

MOST CURRENT EXAMPLES OF FAIRING/TAIL DESIGN

Once I got to this point I moved onto doing something ive wanted to do for a very long time. In 2018 i had the idea to make the seat frame a sperate subframe. I was unaware at the time that KTM did this in 2017 with the duke 390 and 2019 with the rc390. It would be much easier to buy one of...

My bike march 5th 2024: After selling another project i pulled the bike into my shop and got to work. This will be a track riding/race only bike. Inspired by the KTM moto 3's/ rc8 / various racing bikes i like. I pulled the engine for a clutch plate change and valve adjustments and relieved...

It's been awhile guys... Id like to be even farther with my build right now before sharing but i have some time to write a bit so here we go! 2024 Update: In 2018 I decided to go back to school, it put riding the RC390 at the track on hold for 3 years but was worth it as i got my degree aimed...

Big help to me right now, this was the last item i was trying to identify while reworking my harness to be race only. thank you!

Ill be trimming my harness up this week, will be sharing a build post with results. I've previously cut out the rear section for the tail lighting because its a track only bike. I will note that when i cut one of the ALARM wires (purple) the bike would not start, i had to resolder the connection...

For $2900 i think u scored dude. Nice, def post around the tech forum for electricals and stuff, figure out exactly what was changed. Enjoy, have fun ride safe!

Missed that Gray Area KTM carries the Fiberglass piece. Thanks, will order one through them today/tomorrow!

In case anyone is interested for the future: As i thought the fuel pump bolt patterns are the same from 2017/2023 model years but the mounting plate for the 2017 places the fuel line assembly in a different position and thus you would need a 2023 plate. The unit itself also fits within the tank...

Hey all, I'm looking for a rear tank cover for a 22-23 rc390. I see that MotoXpricambi sells a fiberglass piece: https://www.motoxpricambi.com/us/racing-unpainted-fairing-bodywork/14310-tank-cover-ktm-rc390-2022-2024-mxpcrd14310.html but I don't want to cough up the $80 shipping on top of the...
