I've searched the thread/forum but could not find any thing on the popular front high mudguard mod. Below is a link Gordo and I worked on on the UK KTM forum.
Hope you find it helpful.

Just about finished mine
I had the brake lines on the outside of the forks so seemed a bit tight so moved them to the inside.
I'll order the 950 hose holder wirey things today

Richard,

I've got your DVD of March Moto-Morocco trip sat here. Let me have an address to send it (or maybe I'll just do a YouTube clip of you falling off ).

Can you not simply use the mudguard and fork shrouds off the SE ?

fork legs

What he said! I tried them first and they're round in profile- much more PITA to sort a bracket for!

As for a blue one- Dunno- I was quite happy with a contrasting orange one!

Fender - yes.
Fork guards - no.

690 Enduro - or 950 SE mudguard will work. (690 enduro one has little nibs for the headlight - but you dont see them on the adv)

IMO the 950SE/690E fender looks better - but its not that great for keeping the crap that flies off the wheel off the bike. This is based on the water and shit I can see coming over the top of it.

Your choice is orange or black. Unless you want to paint one.

If you mean shite flying out in front of the bike and hitting you hit the face as you catch it up

That seems to happen on most of the offroad bikes I've owned maybe a bit more so on the SE

Yup. Even just going slow in the wet, you can see where the water spray comes clean over the top of the mud guard. Ever wonder why the top of it gets so covered in crap?
