@@CamelADV True. I just looked around and it appears that Rally Raid are making tool like that, minus chain adjustment. Crazy that there is no tool at all that comes from factory with bike to remove tires/wheels.
Just purchased the axel wrench. Very nice and well constructed. The only thing I realized is that I don’t have a ratchet that fits the square opening to connect into. I’ll get that one of course since the wrench is a great tool to avoid heavy parts dragging around with you…
The wrench is awesome, plan on buying one but don't want to pay shipping just for the one item. Waiting till I can get more at one time. Hopefully the high fender will work with the factory bars.
Awesome, how is your skidplate for protecting the aluminum frame piece that supports the sidestand? I understand a few Desert Xs have broken engine cases because this piece sticks out and is vulnerable to even slight impacts.
@@CamelADV that's already good to know! will the Gut Guard go high enough to protect the headers and front of the engine when you install the high fender?
Couple things I noticed, fender looks exactly like a Polisport sm line front fender, secondly the crash bars are bolted at the front cylinder head ? And last but not least that swing arm axel spanner is a nice touch but should be thicker and a half inch drive fitment for bigger torque pressure
The fender is a Polisport SM. The Hepco Becker crash bars do not bolt to the cylinder head. Most people don't carry a 1/2" drive ratchet in their trail tools so we used 3/8".
@@CamelADV how you supposed to torque 180lbs of torque with a 3/8 ratchet ? Half inch breaker bar with a couple of extensions is possible but a 3/8 is the incorrect size for that amount of force, not knocking the product but it's undersized for the job
The tire that you mount behind seems to me to be a Dunlop 908 and you have mounted it without a tube or I misunderstood it. thanks and regards. Congratulations on the videos
Good ideal with the axle wrench !! Hurry up with the fender kit and we need more accessories lol
Awesome Dude! Cant wait to get some of these in our hands. Super clever idea with the axle nut tool and the chain tension gauge. See you soon!
Just ordered the wrench. Thx. Waiting for the bash plate and maybe the fender kit as well.
Looks Awesome! 👍
That kind of Axle wrench with chain tensioner check would be awesome for Tenere! :)
It'd be a bit more involved because of the external hex/Allen and the rear axle needs shallow socket because it's inset into the swing arm.

@@peterlv I love my DealerX! Ducati says I don't need no stinkin' tools!

NICE TO SEE YOUR FINALLY BACK, WHERE IS THE HIGH FENDER KIT AT REGARDING PUBLIC SALES ????
Waiting for that high fender kit... Hope it will come before the summer.
Soon!

Yes, the high fender is compatible with OEM crash bars.
Ducati spec for that rear axle nut is 180Nm! I assume far less torque needed to keep that wheel secure🤔. Your axle wrench is ingenious and impressive
I think 180lbs is too much as I've seen pics of crushed wheel spacers
@@Rust_valley_adventuresit’s newt meters not ft lbs. 180nm is 133ftlbs.
I want a wrench like that for my 890 Adv R!
I like the high fender. Can anything be done to tuck the brake lines in towards the fork legs?
I really need a front fender kit for my Moto Morini X-Cape 650, but unfortunately nobody makes one.

The production version protects the side stand mount. The skid plate in the video is a few versions old.
Is it the general consensus that you do not need to run the rear axle nut to spec torque? Just as tight as you can get it with the setup shown?
Is there a tail tidy available for the desert x?
What chain guard is on this bike?
Comment avez-vous installer le garde de boue avant ? Une référence ? Merci
Nice work, any updates for the Tuareg? Really need to see your bash plate design and crash bars before going for an upgrade from my HEED setup
We won't be doing crash bars anytime soon but the Gut Guard is close!
@@CamelADV that's already good to know!
will the Gut Guard go high enough to protect the headers and front of the engine when you install the high fender?

@@Rust_valley_adventures the spec is 180 N-M (130 ft-lbs). Still too much to apply trailside. Retorque once you get back to the shop.
when are you getting more fender kits in stock?
By when will the high fender kit be available for purchase?
Awesome content by the way! Cheers!
Will your skid plate be compatible with the OEM or aftermarket center stands?
We need to use the same mounting locations as the center stands need so the two will not play well together, unfortunately.
My Rally is different chain tightening. FYI. I can send you a picture.
High fender suits it I think
Who is a good Canadian supplier for the Hepco and Becker bars?
No idea, I ordered from Moto Machines in the US.
@@CamelADV lol fair enough
The tire that you mount behind seems to me to be a Dunlop 908 and you have mounted it without a tube or I misunderstood it.
thanks and regards.
Congratulations on the videos
Yes, it is a Dunlop 908 with a tube.
Have to weld a square drive on to a spoon. Sqoon...
