I need this to! please share.
Hi, to do the conversion you need, obviously, a KTM 1290 17 SD, or SD GT, front rim, SD 1290 rotors, original SAS rotors are 6 bolts rotors and rim is 5 bolts, front fender (you can use original but it's quite big for the new tyre) from a 1290 SD or KTM 990 SMT.

Once you have this parts, you need two 5mm rotor spacers, two 2 mm axe spacers and a new ABS tone ring with different number of spaces cause you can change tyre diameter in your ECU

A friend of mine is a engineer who have access to machinist so I decide to ask him to help me and we made a complete kit, if you are interested please, send me a DM

With the new SDR gt making as much power as the gen 1 SDR and the new suspension the sas is fitted with I have to admit I'm curious? My sas gets heavy gravel and trail use and i'll probably use it for days over 400 miles for comfort. Have any of you guys considered the gt instead of modding the sas if you're not going offroad?
Ergonomics is the key for me. Ride position is much more comfortable in a SAS than in a SDR under my personal opinion.
 
sold my sd and bought a 2022 sas
alasoa kit fits like glove!

1290 SAS looks great with a 17 front wheel but riding it’s even better ‘.
 
Can anybody tell me if a ktm 990 sd rearwheel wil fit in a 1290 sas?
It should fit strait in if you use the sprocketcarrier of the superduke 990 but how about the rear brakedisc?
this is larger on a sas! and not interchangeable.
any solutions?
It fits but you would need an spacer and a custom made rotor. I am investigating about installing to fit properly a 180 rear tyre, 190 it would only be useful in a track, I suppose
