KTM 1090 ADV Full Hepco & Becker Setup
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- Years ago, I had a set of Hepco & Becker Aluminium Panniers on my Kawasaki Versys 650 and I loved them.
So imagine my glee when Hepco & Becker said they‘d like to send me a complete setup for the ‚new‘ KTM 1090 Adventure!!
After an extensive luggage and protection makeover, the 1090 is now decked out with:
Xplorer ‚Cutout‘ Aluminium side cases (40 litre left, 37 litre right),
Xplorer 45 litre top case,
Royster 5-8 litre ‚Lock-It‘ tankbag,
Easyrack,
Aluminium Bashplate,
Engine crash bars,
LED Auxiliary lights
and for when it gets Off-Piste, Xtravel Basic soft panniers!
Find out more and see what they have for your bike at: www.hepco-beck...
Everything was provided by Hepco & Becker free of charge, but no cash changed hands in exchange for opinions. The gear is top quality, made in Germany and having already put the Xplorer Cases through their paces on the Verys over many tens of thousands of miles, I am certain I‘m going to very much enjoy using all of the products on the mighty KTM Adventure!
I cannot WAIT to get out and use this new setup and gather up some real touring miles!

I like that your skid plate has its own skid plates!
Pimp my ride style!
“We heard yo like skid plates, so we put skid plates on yo skid plates!”
Hahaha!! Like Xzibit himself said it!!
Now that’s luggage, the bike is taking shape now
Cheers Simon. It’s all coming together!
Now it looks like an adventure bike. looks top notch pal. Fasty
Cheers very much Fasty, totally agree! 🙌🏻
I like the Tardis like “magic box” effect of you taking all the parts out of the same box 👍🏻
Cheers mate! It worked better than i thought it would!
Buddy that’s some nice camera work there 👍👌
Loved that edit at the beginning, went well with my morning cuppa.
Looks like a brilliant kit, and the box must have been huge!!!!
Thanks mate! All four of the boxes were HUGE! 😮💨
Looks good Andy👍
Thanks very much mate!
Ooo will you name the bike ? Can't wait for some adventures ..lol. Lets go
Will have to wait and see if a name pops up, but no great plans. Looking forward to the adventures too!
First class filming work rather professional camera angles
Thanks very much! You would hardly know that i filmed it all on my phone! 🥳
Defo need to up my video editing skills that was a very nicely done assembly part great video as allways looking forward to see your new adventures
Thanks very much PE! Looking forward to the new adventures too! Not long now!
Lucky person sent all that gear for free
Nothing is for free in this game Stephen. If CZcamsrs tell you that, they’re either lying or they haven’t looked into the tax rules! Everything counts as income and must be taxed. And that’s before you have to give the brands enough content to make it worth their while. No such thing as a free lunch.
Looks very nice mate 👌
Cheers JF.
Excellent mods, let the adventures begin.
I will be patiently waiting.
Cheers Bob! Planning is underway!
Damn!! You hit the jackpot. You’ll love those locking hard cases when traveling cross country on roads. I’ve had hard locking luggage on two BMWs, a Goldwing and my Electraglide. Nothing like coming back to your bike after dinner, at a rally, or a night in the motel and your gear is still safely locked away. Of course a bad guy could break the locks, but it’s easier to steal soft luggage. Kind of like it’s easier to mug a guy with no dog, than a guy with a dog.
That KTM 1090 just keeps getting better and better. Envious in Wyoming! But I couldn’t ride it. We are still snowed in. Enjoy.😎👍
I know Bill! Winning for sure! Yeah I’m a big fan and I’ve missed the big licking bins ever since i got rid of the Versys 5 years ago. Now finally back on the hard luggage team! The flexibility to switch to the soft stuff for off road or light weight ventures is also a real bonus. Hope the snow frees you soon mate!
Bought the same carrier for my GT, excellent quality. Wouldnt like to filter through traffic with those panniers though ......
Just have to stick my elbows out a bit wider and all will be well! 🤣
Great edit Andy! See the slide pod doing its thing. Mines broken and I've only used it twice 😫
Cheers LCR! That’s very annoying mate. TBH I’m amazed mine is still working, the amount of times I’ve thrown it on the garage floor or made it extend itself at speed into a wall! 🤦🏻♂️
Looks fantastic Andy , the best of luck with the new machine.
Thanks John! Time to get out using it!
Your taste in bikes as improved,I love Hondas but I wouldn't have chosen the one you chose,but each to their own or is that each to there own,good luck with the latest bike
Thanks Stephen. It was time. (It’s each to their own 👍🏻)
Best of luck with the new bike 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻
Many thanks JVW!
Looks absolutley awesome, well set up for any adventure.
Cheers Mick! Absolutely mate. Fully loaded!
Great vid and no doubt congrats on the freebies!! As well as the weight breakdown comparison at the end would've been good a similar one on price comparison... Steady.
Thanks! TBH i think prices between KTM official and Hepco&Becker are pretty much comparable. And don’t forget, there‘s no such thing as a free lunch! 😅
Cheeky 😂 👍
Fantastic composition! Like this, even assembly works make real fun to watch. Keep it up!
Thank you very much Marcus!
Love the look of the KTM now. Definitely the H&B gear set it off right.
Cheers mate. Totally agree. It’s looking like a world conquering beast!
And even when it's parked you cancel the blinkers! :-)
I noticed that in the last Norway video, you press that button very often. (I have the same strange habit tbh)
I cant help it!! Hopefully the self canceling feature in the KTM will reduce the habit!! 🤣
Congratulations on all the goodies Andy.
Thanks very much!
Awesome looking bike Andy! Like what you did with the colors. Can't wait for the tour vids.👍🏻
Cheers MV! Hopefully will be getting on the road soon!
Very professional production vlog. Keep up the absolutely fantastic work ❤️❤️
Thank you! Will do!
Looks amazing Andy. Very jealous indeed. Them fog lights look good too. Bravo
Cheers mate. Yeah she’s looking tidy! Sadly the lights were a bit of a disappointment. If i go off-road any time soon, I’ll be ditching them for the weight saving. 😢
Looking forward to the coming travels.
And pretty amazed by the AndyMechanicsMan hiding behind the CamMan (opening the fuel tank is the only thing I dare doing) 🙌
Me too Michio! Seems that once you’ve taken the tank off one time, you can do it with your eyes closed. I’ve taken it off again since and it only took 30 minutes from starting to having it all back in place again.
Good work, citizen.
Katooms were made to travel on and certainly your pferd metal is now good to go.
Not used their kit before, but looks quality.
Be interesting to see it used in anger. Roll on hot summer and cold beer.
Safe, happy travels 👍
Amen to that!! Looking forward to seeing it all used in earnest too. Soon…
About time you gave her a good going over with a sponge 🧽 (also the bike)
Haha! I totally agree! (Dirty bitch)
I particularly liked that the base plate doubled as a jigsaw puzzle before fitting it to the bike 🤣 I think you may need to fit flashing orange beacons to the rear!
Haha! Yeah the challenge was set! It’s actually not really much wider than before. Only about 6cm in total.
Road works Ignoring ready!!!🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely! Ready for anything the builders can throw at me!
Great video AMC. Looking forward to seeing that lot in action. 👌
You and me both mate! Just need work to sod off so i can get out there!!
Thanks for posting. Great product line.
My pleasure entirely! Very nice gear indeed.
Looks a great setup Andy, is ace H&B have sorted you out with some good kit, the sumpguard looks great. Swish install edit too 🙂
Yeah it’s a real win. Good gear 👍🏻 Cheers mate!
had similar set on my 1190. just a varning..no more filtering... it gets MUCH vider at the back then the handelbars, i stopt using my set for that reason.
And ifyou dont have them, get the ktm rally footpegs much nicer when standing up.
It’s only 6cm wider than the KTM panniers were, though i don’t really do much fingering any more. The Germans don’t like it! I’ll have to look into the footpegs. Cheers!
Hey Andy, your video's are so refreshing and relaxing 2 watch, the way you deliver them are on a professional level 👍 .
Been a subscriber here since the FZ1N, greetings from Belgium.
Ps , sorry if my English isn't perfect 😉
Thanks very much Davy! It’s a pleasure to have you along and thanks for your long service!! 😊
Everything looks quality. I love the crash protection, but does a WIDE LOAD sticker come with those hard panniers?
Cheers mate! Only 6cm wider than stock panniers doesn’t worry me too much! Plus Filtering is frowned upon over here anyway! 😜
I love the edits! Nice bike man!
Thanks very much Youri!
Very nice kit. Only criticism I can see is key/lock position for the top box is a pain to get at, will get filthy….and the soft bags don’t look very easy on and offable. Really love the bars and the belly pan. Cracking video production as usual Andy and I agree, who protects the protectors!
Cheers Ian. I agree that the location isn’t ideal, but then again i think most will have the locks somewhere around that rear corner. However you do it, it’s getting covered in crap at the back to varying degrees. I hope that the rear spray management on the KTM is a little better thought out than on the CB1000R! The soft bags are much easier than they look. Sure it isn’t simply a button push or a buckle clip. But I’d rather know that they’re not going free themselves when it gets bumpy! 🤣
Bike looks fantastic Andy.
Look forward to seeing what you get up too 😀
You and TLR should compare Hepco and Becker with SW Motech. Proper nerd fest 😁
Cheered for the vids. 👍
Haha! Not a bad idea mate. It’ll happen by default next time we get together, I’m sure!
Been a Hepco and Becker fan for years (I'd be even more of one if they gave me loads of stuff!). The Explorer hard cases look the business but do weigh a tonne - plus the little label on the inside of the 45 litre top box lid (at least on mine) says max load 5 kg (ie less than the box!) and not to exceed 80 mph - not that we would of course! Cautionary tale: keep a weather eye on the plastic lip that fixes under the carrier loop, last summer it broke on mine (granted after 10 years...) and the box fell off the bike. Fortunately the box was empty and I was near home - couple of weeks earlier it was full and in the middle of a 19 day European tour, it could have landed on the bonnet of a 911 half way up the Stelvio! The KTM does look fab though - bet you use the 30 litre soft bags on tour ...
Same here Steve. I was really impressed with the side cases on the Versys, and i paid for those myself! Oddly enough, the side bins, even the massive ones that i have, are actually lighter than the stock panniers were. Obviously the racks are extra, but that means the extra weight isn’t as much as i first thought it would be. I’ll keep an eye on that lip, but I’ll be ignoring (within reason) the 5kg warning. I thinks that’s just legal arse covering. As long as we don’t kick the arse out of it, should be ok. Ride over 80mph?? NEVER!! 😉
It's looking great and I can't wait to see you get it out and put to good use. I do think you should paint that bash plate black though, possibly with something like truck bed-liner so it can take the stone chips. It's a big lump of silver on a bike that doesn't otherwise have much.
Cheers! I dunno. The luggage racks are silver, as are rear fairings and tank fairing. I reckon it’ll look a lot more like it belongs once the bash plate has been bashed a few times! 😂
Going full on Charley an Ewan is our AMC! It sneaks up on you... lol
Hahaha! Almost! I reckon I’d go a lot more stripped back than those boys for that kind of trip though!! 🤪
Good that I was eating, otherwise I'd be watering my keyboard.
Maybe it's visual illusion because of the exhaust, but the right side looks really sticking out farther than the left one...
The outside edge is just as far out as on the left side. It’s all an illuuuuuuusion! 🌀
Andy, you missed the opportunity to use the adapted phrase "one key to rule them all"!!!! ;) :p :D Those bins look HUGE!!! :)
Haha! Next time, precious.
Maybe topcase plus big rollbag on the back seat would be better and narrower for the city? 1 meter wide is a lot for my taste. There is a probability to scratch some crazy expensive electric stuff in Norway
Ha! I didnt buy this monster to ride it in the city!! If anything I’d leave the topbox and just use the panniers. Keep the weight low for best handling! 👍🏻 It’s really only 6cm wider than the stock panniers. The straight lines just make it look way wider than the curvy KTM boxes.
Not bad being sent 2,500 - 3,000€ worth of free gear!
That bash guard could do with being black. It looks a little incongruous in raw silver with your new colour scheme.
You now have as much carrying capacity as most cars!
Wait till you fill them and have a full tank of fuel to see how heavy your bike is ;@).
Your Norway videos are great thank you. A+++.
No such thing as a free lunch! 😜 I’m not so worried about the silver bash plate. It’ll look far less incongruous once it’s bashed about a bit! I plan to enjoy the space but never fill it up! I hate a heavy bike!!
They look smart, suits the bike! You can carry the planet now mate 😂 I also have lots of storage. The engine bars look much better, it has come a long way from the orange glow worm looks excellent 👌 very well made video. My latest video what I have not published yet I have give you a mention for the inspiration on the insta360, hope you don’t mind 🤘
Of course i don’t mind! Go crazy! Yeah the bike is really coming together nicely. All that’s missing is an actual adventure!
@@AndyManCam I’m off to Scotland on the 1st of April, I was going to the Black Forest but I think it’s best to go with someone for that as I have never been out of the uk 😁
That`s great looking Andy, - last year I allso choose Hepco & Becker Panniers, with "innerbags", fitting it on my 2017 Triump T120 was a piece off cake - love it.
Seems like your "KATY" is ready for spring - any plans this year mate ?? - my "BONNEY" is still park`d in my living room awaiting the coming winter blizzard here in Northern Denmark
1 like as usual - see U
Thanks Anders! Yeah she’s just about ready! I’ll be taking it off road in May and then hopefully a bit of TET action. 🤩
Beast
Totally!!
Wow; more storage space than the average car!
More than an above average car!!
My car has 490 litres. What’re you driving, an Aygo?? 🤣
You're not going to be doing much filtering with those hard panniers, I'd 100% catch them on something first ride out, they look really wide.
They’re only 6cm wider than the stock panniers and at about 108cm only about 5cm either side wider than the bars. TBH though, i don’t do much Filtering nowadays. I try to avoid the riding that requires it as much as possible. Plus the Germans don’t like it!
To be honest. Think you won't need the topbox. With that much space in the side boxes and the tank bag. Maybe just a smaller duffel or something. That way you keep the weight low and close to the bike. The top box makes it bit more top heavy.
Does look good though. Only minus are the blinkers (you have very nice ones of Barracuda) and the colour of the bashplate. Maybe powdercoat it black?
Am looking forward to your new adventures!
Yeah, the topbox is intended more as an overflow or temporary storage space. Never to be fully loaded or heavy for any length of time. There’s plenty of room in the side bins for more than I’ve ever taken on tour before!! Indicators is on my list, i just need the time to do it. But when the time comes, I’d rather just ride the bike!!
Looking good but Omg you are going to bankrupt me quicker than @SamVincent 😂
Haha! Sorry about that! At least my bike was about half the price of his. So if you go my way, that’s an extra €10k for farkles! 😜
@@AndyManCam I've spent about another grand on getting my 1290 how i want it. Heated ergo seats being most of that. What suprised me after my Versys GT is how expensive luggage is! Went for a top box but the panniers can wait until I need them. Will try a dry bag this summer! Then I need a set of dick lights but need a Hex for that. It all adds up! Kinda worth it 😁
That skid plate looks great ... But....
I can't fathom how any water/grot that gets in there, drains out?
Imagine a skip full of water. Now completely remove the rear wall and imagine where the water will go. 👍🏻
400 euro for those fog lights is a steal... from H&B
They are quite lumpy, sadly.
i'm curious if the Hepco Panniers and top box being partly plastic will that make the heat inside less intense in the summer months? I know my black panniers on my GS get unbearably hot inside on hot days, so much that they've caused lithium batteries inside to swell and fail. Lighter aluminum looks worse, but no such issue. You must report back, it looks slick regardless!
That is something that I’m also wondering about. I know they were silver, but the last set of these had no issues when i was in croatia in 40+ °C. If it proves to be problenatic, there’s always sandpaper to reveal the silver again!
Great vid 😊 any reason you didn’t go swmotech like you usually do? Sponsersjip I assume 🤔
Cheers! Various contributing factors. Mostly just felt like it was time for a change. It was getting boring with me and @thelikeablerider always having the same gear! 😉
Needs sone orange 😉
There’s plenty there! It says ‚Adventure‘ in orange on the rear haunches. That’s enough for me!
Hi Andy could you tell me if I can just fit leds to my brake light and headlight please on my fz1 10plate or would I need to fit a canbus. Many thanks Lee from Aberystwyth
As far as i know you can. I don’t think there’s any canbus system. But i can’t be certain as i never tried.
Ok thank you 👍
My pleasure. Good luck with your Upgrades!
Not having any experience with adventure bikes or carrying THAT much luggage, I'm wondering whether you'd change suspension/ geometry i.e. by lowering the fork clamps a few mm to compensate the weight on the back? Is that a thing?
I certainly wouldn’t lower the forks and reduce all that wonderful ground clearance! But i did give the rear preload a few extra turns. At some point I might upgrade the springs front and rear fire something a bit stronger, to go with my somewhat larger frame!
Orange is not my color. Buys a KTM 🤣🤙🏻
I came for the engine and the ergonomics!
@@AndyManCam good choice!
I’m reassured every time i throw my leg over!
Have been a long way coming from the FZ1...
I see the width is 106 cm. Is it lot wider than the handle bars? Be careful when filtering
Thanks for sticking around for the ride! The bars are about 95cm i think (with hand guards) so really not much wider.
Full on adventure AMC.
100% just need to DO some adventure, before i get the ‚all the gear no idea‘ treatment! 🤣
Ok 👍👌 super
👍🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
Where is your wide load warning? I agree that H&B kit is really good quality, but no way could I ever enjoy a bike that was as wide as a small car. I mean, how much room does one person need?
It’s really not all that wide. These bins are only 6cm wider than the KTM panniers were. Considering the bars are already almost a meter across, it’s surprisingly easy to deal with. Sadly one person doesn’t need much, but one person with their stuff PLUS everything needed to make the videos needs loads of room! 😂
I take your point! I have an MT10 with H&B C-Bow Royster panniers, and rear track bag, overall less wide than the handlebars. They are really good, as you have shown. In the UK filtering is an essential part of touring, but I understand not really allowed in Germany?
Why do you need a top box, surely there's enough luggage space with the huge panniers. Unless you're thinking of taking a pillion which is not fun. Use the rack for a dry bac makes much more sense top boxes are crap don't make sense. Sorry man but everything else 👍👍 If you have to take pillion, teach her to ride her own motorcycle. Happy adventures
I completely understand what you’re saying. There really is a LOT of space in the panniers! For me it was never the plan to also fill the topbox, but rather have a secure space to use as an overflow, hold the cameras or maybe even stash my helmet. All while being waterproof and fast to get in and out of. So i guess depending on what you want, sometimes they do make sense! 😜 Great Airplane reference BTW. One of my all time favorites!
Forget any filtering lol 🤣
You say that, but they’re only 6-7 cm wider than stock panniers!
@@AndyManCam Yeah crazy , it looks as wide as a car lol just don't forget could be a disaster. Looking forward to seeing you using them on trips
Andy have you changed your bike😂😂😂
Totally! Didn’t i mention it!? 🤪
Oh by the way I promise to stop calling you Shirley
😂
Well at least your ready for the zombie apocalypse 🤭
Absolutely! Just need to find a good spot to mount the gattling gun.
@@AndyManCam can you also share where the zombies are? Asking for a friend 😁
It weights less because it’s a whole lot less of a bike.
Now that’s not at all fair Paul. Power to Kg is almost exactly the same and i wouldn’t have most of the farkles and Gadgets on a GS if you gave me them for free! Bottom line, i know which one i want to ride and i certainly know which one I’d want to pick up out of the dirt when it gets dropped! Also the extra 3000€ that i saved will pay for a lot of fuel and tyres. BMW is definitely winning the race in recall bingo too.
Great video as always Andy! Drop me a view if you get a minute, constructive feedback always welcomed. Cheers
Thanks very much mate!
I think you have plenty of storage your pretty wide now careful filtering. They look heaven duty for sure.
Very much James! Filtering doesn’t really feature for me much any more TBH. But yep, they certainly are tough!
Anyone would think your moving 😉
Can’t wait for the adventures you and the KTM get up to 😊
I‘d be happy right now just to get the bike moving!!
@@AndyManCam Oh shit don’t tell me it’s shit itself??
Haha! Nooooo, I’ve just had too much work and no time to ride. It’s killing me!!
@@AndyManCam Jesus AMC my heart dropped then!! Thank god it’s work then 😂
