I'm looking for some pictures of KTMs with the flo orange plastics. Just trying to see what people are doing and get some ideas. I've google searched and there's really not a whole lot.
Thanks

most people will still get their suspension done though
Over the winter I did have Factory Connection go through the forks and shock. My only complaint with the AER fork is that it was a bit harsh when hitting about items at speed (Smaller logs, rocks, and roots). Getting it back I noticed a positive change for the forks. Riding endurocross, I was able to hit stuff more aggressively and the bike handled it much better. Riding our practice trail it soaks up the small chop much better as well. I found the pressure to be the best at 140.
The biggest surprise was actually setting the sag. Factory Connection suggested the sag to be between 110-115mm and I had been ~85-90mm all year. (Note: I didn't have the best equipment growing up so this was still fine for me). After setting the sag to 102 (I need a lighter spring), it was a huge difference.
I did a side-by-side comparison with a buddy's bike that has the Cone Valve forks and Trax shock and I didn't notice a big difference quite honestly. But, I'm also not fast enough to take full advantage of them!
I can't really comment on how it handles on an MX track. I quit that stuff a while ago. Off road is safer and when the race is over, I'm usually ready to be done. Whereas in MX, I may ride 2 classes and most of that time is spent sitting around.
-- I also noticed the decals were upside down after I put them on. I decided I didn't care enough to pull them off! Factory Connection peeled them off and put their own on so it's all set now
I had a KTM 200XC and the forks seem like they were similar. Just not plush enough. If I get another XC I'll go the Factory Connection route as well.
I really appreciate the feedback!

And damn, check out these beauties that were under the H&H awning...
My fav look for a ktm
Flo orange front fender, number plate, and fork guards with everything else white.
Or same but with flo orange rear fender as well
Or solid flo orange
What do you guys think would look best?
