today i put another call into KTM USA's parts department about the euro tail pieces. i got a call back saying they are putting the numbers in their system and they should be available within a couple weeks. so everybody hold off ordering it from over seas.

list price on the plastic tail piece is going to be $24.50 and the light is going to be $66.50.

very good new!!

 

[mcjasonb]

So is this the way they are going to make the war. repair?

i have no idea. i really could care less. when i get the new tail i will get new signals all the way around as well.

 

[mcjasonb]

If anybody gets any official part numbers for this, could you please post it here?

I'd love to swap my taillight section for the Euro version.

Thanks,
JOHN

i have the part numbers, it is official.

 

[mcjasonb]

Well then........hook me (us) up!

I have that other part number for the "Number Plate Carrier Top" 76508016000, but I hear that's no longer a good item #???

I need the numbers for that piece and the light.

Whacha got Jason? :rant:

JOHN

76508016000 is the top piece number carrier thingy

76514040000 is the led tail light

they will be available to order shortly. they told me they would be good #'s in the U.S. on the dealer site beginning of this week. and that they would have them in stock within a couple weeks.

i will keep everybody informed.

yea i don't know what it is but she's poppin a lot on decel(it always did but now more than ever), and keeps stalling at idle. i let her cool off and just started her up and let it try to idle and it ran for maybe a minute then died again.

 

[mcjasonb]

you need both pieces i listed in an earlier post.

 

[mcjasonb]

those 2 numbers work on the U.S. dealer site, i just checked. now we just have to wait for them to be in stock.

 

[mcjasonb]

I just called my KTM dealer in Massachusetts and gave him the two part part numbers you provided (thank you for that) but he indicated availiability dates were not listed so he's uncertain when they'll be in.

I had also ordered an Ankrapovic Titanium Slip-On exhaust but the titanium header pipe arrived instead. The header pipe sells for $840.00 (ouch) and the slip-on is in the same neighborhood and won't be available until the end of July.

ktm told me a couple weeks... maybe 3 weeks tops.

yea the akra exhaust costs waaaaaayyy to much.

 

[mcjasonb]

Just ordered them through my local KTM dealer. $98 for carrier and light. Back ordered until mid-August.

yup, i think the date is 8-12-08 at the moment.

 

[mcjasonb]

well i plan to mount my plate above where the license plate light is. right under the tail light on that first piece of plastic. like seen here... http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6215619&postcount=63

 

[mcjasonb]

soon my friend.... soon. i also have the skid plate on back order as well. i had to cancel my exhaust though and put the money towards tires because i'll need tires before the exhaust will come and i won't have enough money for tires.

 

[mcjasonb]

How many miles do you plan to get on your tires? Maybe I'll have to take out another loan, just to make sure I have a steady supply of tires on hand, lol.

i'm going to guess around 3k or so. i think they will be shot by 3k. i will be trying the conti-force sm tires when the time comes.

 

[mcjasonb]

the "rear part" is now in stock at KTM and is on its way to anybody that has ordered it, but the tail light is still not in stock yet at KTM.

the enduro skid plate is also still not in yet either.

just an FYI.
