    Talk me into buying an Alta. Talk me out of buying an Alta.

    My mistake was getting off my FreeRide while we were riding in Highland Park, GA. I got off to take a test ride on an Alta and darned if it didn't follow me home. I have since bought an EXR but the one I bought in GA has only 7.9 hrs on it, I made it totally street legal (ala ex), and looks...

    Front Fender Slap

    I made a simple bracket out of 3/16" aluminum angle and it seems very solid. You can see it in my pictures in the bikes for sale "'17MX turned EX" thread.

    Sold Street Legal MX

    I am located in Pittsburgh and if you are interested feel free to PM me and I will answer any and all questions. I took the bike in to get the firmware updated just a couple weeks before Alta closed so it is the most recent. Price for this virtually new bike is $8,599. Sale pending

    Sold Street Legal MX

    During this whole process Alta went out and the displays became very important since they were vuneralble and replacements were about non existant. So I designed and started fabricating my "AltaVault" to protect what we have. I have this display in the AltaVault, which is included and you can...

    Sold Street Legal MX

    Some of the mods were to make a strong aluminum bracket to support front fender and prevent common slapping. The skid plate is also aluminum and I do not believe there is as much as a scratch in the powder coating. I also installed the OEM kick stand.

    Sold Street Legal MX

    I put the Lion battery under the seat and made my own harness. It has Front/back brake light, tail, turn signals, horn, switching for hi/low beam, and to turn off everything but the brake light to conserve power.

    Sold Street Legal MX

    In March of '18 I bought this as a MX because of the better suspension for woods riding. About the time I got it suited to me I bought a '19 EXR. I have only 7.9 hrs on it and you would be hard pressed to tell it was ever ridden. I made it totally street legal (has PA inspection and plate)...

    ALTA negatives

    I mainly use the rear for slide steering while my front is the main tool to slow down.

    ALTA negatives

    "I like the rear brake where it is I just don't like the pedal!" It is a relatively simple matter to cut the foot part off the pedal (or mill it for a better job.) Next you go to the local KTM dealer and buy a HammerHead brake end. you will need to drill and tap the first and third hole...

    Who wants to ride in the snow?

    I looked out the window about midnight last night. I wanted to go out then but waited until this morning. This was the maiden voyage for my new '19 EXR and I think I'm going to like it !!! I set it up similar to my '17 but with a few more mods, like the AltaVault, Ohlins damper, all LED...

    Knee braces - which one?

    I used the Asterisk Ultracell and they gave me much more confidence in the woods knowing (thinking) my knee would not go out at some moment. I have since gone to the Pods carbon. I really liked the Boa lace up on the Asterisk which is the same system I also have on my Rev'it boots. The...

    Circuit breaker lifespan

    I just got done doing that to my '19 EXR. I put a waterproof toggle switch beside the display. I cut the ground (black) wire near the bulb and ran it to the switch to make it part of the circuit. Normally the main light (either beam) will be off and only the daylight running light (now LED)...

    If someone produced a replacement battery pack, would you buy one?

    I also would buy if it was lighter, or significantly more range.

    Seat Screw

    They are really great. I put one on my '17 when I got it then later with my '19. So much more handy to remove the seat when needed.

    Display Guard - Protect it from crashes!

    Yep - everything you said is correct. Sorry I was camping in a remote section of SC and had no real signal to use my laptop. The added SS brackets I included so as not to put too much strain on the aluminum ears on the top triple. Even though the OEM mounts only to those ears, I wanted to...
