Indicators
I know in the UK you don't need them fitted to pass a Mot, I am thinking of not fitting them and just folding back and tapping the wires up neatly to the frame. They usually don't last long anyway
Is it legal requirement to have them fitted in Europe, I mean could you get stopped for not having them?

Re: KTM 640 Adventure Rally Build
I prefer having them anyway, they just make riding the bike on busy roads a bit easier, get a few sets of cheap LED ones off your favorite supplier and you'll be fine, don't forget to fit diodes into the dash light if it's a single.
You can also get the ones that unplug from a socket, looks like a 1/4" guitar amp plug/socket.

Re: KTM 640 Adventure Rally Build
Been real busy so slow progress, subframe is finished. Will get it powder coated this week.
Here it is compared to a old 640 adventure frame

Re: KTM 640 Adventure Rally Build
Put it loosely together, never had a stud long enough to hold the left side tank on hence why is laying down.
Well that's its basically done
Ready for spray job on subframe, front fairing and front tank side protectors this Saturday.
I found a site that does decals also so will fit a set
http://www.hyena-mx.com/en/categorie?id=4682
While I'm waiting for the parts to be sprayed will clean it up
Once back will then run wires to the rectifier and solonode, fit new indicators, Handgaurds and grips and fold back levers.
I have a set of mitas e09 I will fit also
