Motorcycle Neck Brace Headlight Reinforcement Bracket Set for KTM 790 ADV S / R 2019 2020 890 ADV 2020 2021(Silver)
- Everything ahead of the steering stem hangs off of four tiny metal posts that are welded to the bike's head tube. It appears that the lower support bars the added to the 790/890 have done little to beef up the mounting points. The 790/890's headlight set-up is quite heavy. Add to that the gauge cluster, windscreen, lower wind deflectors, signal lights etc and you have a lot of weight hanging off these weak mounting points.Over rough terrain, these posts see a lot of stress and eventually snap off. This is a problem for several reasons. Obviously, the broken posts need to be welded back on to the frame leading to some less than perfect backwoods repair jobs. Another issue is the bike's immobilizer system resides under the headlight. When the headlight assembly snaps off, the wires of the immobilizer can be damaged, leaving you with a broken mount and a dead bike.The ADV 790/890 Neck Brace supports the four troublesome mounting posts by tying them together and attaching to a mounting tab behind the bike's head tube. This keeps the posts from flexing and breaking off.The 790/890 Neck Brace is made from metal that's been powder-coated for a great look and excellent durability. Its minimalist design provides all the strength you need while keeping the weight as low as possible. Installation takes only a few minutes.
