Pic from when it was drying. Let’s just say it didn’t turn out great. Will rip it off and do it again on Tuesday. I’ll have to ride with it like this tomorrow.
LOL... OK, agree, it definitely looks like crap!!
You could use a hairdryer instead. Yes, the indents are a tad more difficult, but it shouldn't be impossible.

I’ll be keeping the radiator covers black, I really like it. Don’t think I’ll be spending the cash for the current Vit 801 carbon covers, too much hassle. I think it will look even better with the carbon heal rests. Still waiting for a tail tidy to be released but other than that I’m starting to feel “done” with the mods, except for some more stickers.
(I don’t count new tires as a mod, will definitely swap to Road 6 when spring comes).

A few weeks ago I came across the company Nicecnc, that offers various CNC-milled KTM Duke parts.
Since the reviews that I found are mostly very positive and the quality of the parts is said to be very good, I ordered (out of curiosity) a few protective parts that will fit the Duke 790/890.
The package showed up today; the engine protections (pic 1 and 2) are alternatives.
First impression: the quality indeed seems to be very good!
Unfortunately some parts are only available orange anodized; if they'll fit the 801 and if I decide to install them, I will have them anodized black.

I would say yes, even if its about the same difference as riding with thin textile jacket vs. thick leather jacket in terms of feel, so probably not noticable to most.
More than just the weight though, the self discharge is lower on a LiFePo, so when the bike sits for a few months waiting for better weather you wont need a charger like with a normal battery.
