Another question.....anyone made or heard of a modification to keep the cornering LED lights on permanently like aux/driving lights? Don't think there's much scope to add spots?

Spade connectors under the dash (not behind headlight). One permanent live and one ignition controlled.I’ll be connecting the feed for my satnav myself after Gear4 decided I wanted a permanent live rather than a switched live when they connected the feed prior to me collecting my 1190. I can’t really complain too much because in over 2.5 years of owning it I’ve never bothered to change it.
Are the wires on the GT just capped off with resin or do they have a plug fitted? The ones on my MTS were capped but that actually made them much easier to identify and saved me the hassle of buying a compatible plug.
If it’s like the 1290S it’s probably spade connection.
Make sure you blast it with ACF-50 good and proper, or if you can drop past my way you can use my compressor to slather it in the stuff.

I connect all my navs to perminent feeds rather than those switched by the ignition because I finding it irritating when the unit turns off every time I switch off the ignition. There's no way of locking the nav on the bike so it's never left on when I'm not riding so won't flatten the battery.
12v plug in socket is on the left of the clocks and 12v switched and permanent wire connections are under the clocks, remove the torx and lift the clocks and you will see the connections.
A german fella on the adv rider forum has made a loom to enable the led corner lights to stay on, i never really followed it so cannot add any more.
The benefit of using the ram ball as per my picture, the square shaft once you cut it down to a suitable height it sits perfectly inside the oe sat nav mounting point on the bike.
Yes SDR front fender, rear part is carbon and I've fitted pyramid fender extender / Ktm oe adventure handguards .
40t rear sprox is a great mod, don't bother doing the front sprox, waist of time, I tried and it was too much.
Rear seat canister removal
All the carbon was from Germany / Hfcarbon.de apart from the rear hugger.
Extended Hugger was from Germany £250 ish but a different supplier, if you intend to use the bike in anything but sunshine than the stock hugger is shite .
Touratech 25mm bar risers
R&G tail tidy, I did have the evo tech fitted but I prefer the R&G .
Front extended engine cover, stops crap covering the engine
I have all the evotech stuff .
Short levers
Crash bungs/wheel bungs
GB case savers and clutch master saver.
I've wrapped the whole bike in ventureshield, a must do is the front indicators/corner lights there prone to stone chips and cost £270 each if you hole one, you can just see the out line of the ventureshield film .
Screen is Ktm tinted, I also have a puig and it created to much buffeting so I cut it down.
Tank bag is TT and off my WC GS and fits perfect .
I moved the horn from behind the rad, it's muffled and once they get hot they used to pack up, never a problem now .
It's not a garage queen, I use it, (spain twice / Germany) but not in today's weather (ice n snow) but I've got a little OCD so its stunning, I look after my stuff so theres not a mark on it.
Hilltop
I've done several other mods, making 10 - 15mm spacers to bring the toe pegs out so its easier to foot the gear and rear brake levers, changing out bolts for titanium and replacing all the fairing fasteners with pro-bolt stuff.
I've not had one issue and have no regrets paying retail price it was worth it at the time.
Any exhaust end can off a SDR will fit, I won a brand new Akro on eBay, it was listed for a SDR and at the time it was much cheaper than anything being listed for a GT !
Would that be the GB racing one or the Evotech ;0)
