That depends on the coilovers you have....

with my last set you could feel the front end get more boaty in corners, with current suspension you cant tell the difference.

Wondering, how's she handle on road without the swaybar?


Cheers mate I'm glad my rig is helping you get ideas for your lux :D yeah you do notice that it is removed however with my suspension it is quite stiff so it still felt very secure on the road 8-)

Hey KTM, firstly i just want to say what a fantastic and insiring job you have done with ur build... i just couldnt stop reading this thred (took me 5 beers lol). cant wait to get some of those mods on my beast.

couple of quick questions:

Where did u get the interior piller from for the gauges?

Did u fab the sliders yourself ? ( i have a 2012 SR5 and am looking for something that is airbag compliant )

cheers,

ps: im also from Adel, would be good to check out ur mods first hand one day.

pss: My KTM525 is surrounded by red lol (2009 Polaris Outlaw 525IRS)

my Extended breathers: Rear Diff, Front Diff, ADD, Gearbox / Transfer case, i also removed the key and seatbelt beep. I then fitted my Miccon turbo timer at this time as well.

A little while later i bought my ARB deluxe bullbar with factory fog lights, Genuine hard lid, Chrome and black billet grille and IPF 900 Xtreme Sport spotties which i upgraded to HID 6000k.

I fitted these all in the same weekend. The B/Bar was fun to get aligned properly :roll: but i got there in the end with alot of paticence.



Just wondering where you got the breather kit from? Or did you buy it seperately? But wicked truck man looks awesome
Cheers

the diff breather setup was made by myself, at the time when i first bought my lux not many after market options were available. so it was a easy option to make my own :D

Hey mate,

my sliders were made by Trek tech 4x4 but since then ive modified them myself for better fitment. The pillar pod and gauges were bought back when Monster rides was doing a group buy on them many moons ago hahaha

cheers Troy
