So now after being away from KTM's and off-roading for 30 years or more I'm back, only now I'm over double that age..
Wondering what I need to do, or watch out for on my new ride. I guess right now I'm considering what tank to buy, and what luggage and tank bag (Wolfman)?
This bike wasn't designed for old men that are only 5'8" tall, I've been up and over already.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to KTM Forums, and welcome back to KTM.

I'd look at getting the suspension lowered (precision concepts is in SOCAL).

Also you can get a lower step seat from guts racing or renazco racing.

Check out this site for tanks. Not sure what type of riding you plan on doing, so it's hard to advise much.

Appreciate the assistance. Guess what I'm looking for is advice for multi day, two maybe three day rides that are on-road off-road.
The height of the bike is a big problem as is the gas tank capacity. I'm about to order an Enduro tank bag as well as E10 saddlebags and duffel from Wolfman..

A steering stabilizer would be a good investment as well, it will help with the handling, and extend your ride times from fatigue especially on extended trips!
