This is a full conversion kit that gives your KTM Duke 200/390 a big bike look and feel. Not only does it get the Dukes closer to its larger siblings in size and aesthetics, it also adds to the already aggressive stance of naked motorcycle by adding girth to its stock slim profile. Our kit consists of a wider fuel tank cover, wider rear tail section, angular side panels and an extended belly pan. Made from high quality FRP, the KTM wide body kit is built to last and sports a finish closely matched to OEM Parts. In fitment, the kit is a complete OEM replacement bolt-on option with no major alterations necessary.

probably of more limited appeal in more developed economies where - if desired - a big bike look and feel can be authentically and very easily achieved by purchasing one of the many big bikes available on the second hand market for sub 390 duke prices......

(to put things diplomatically :) )

Well such conversion kits make the duke 390 look like a RICER(race inspired cosmetic enhancement) modded bike. that only makes the bike look faster but it actually isn't. The headlamp is really ugly. Looks RICER ish and TOYish....
The extra muscle used for the fuel tank will not make it hold 12 to 14 liters i hope..

Moreover the design might restrict air flow and also might screw the original dynamics.

You can't make a silk purse out of a (well you know the rest)....

I can understand wanting to make a 1,000cc bike look like a 500cc bike for some traffic light fun, but the Duke is a little 370cc bike - its never going to out drag a 500cc (+) bike......so can't see the point of "bigging" the duke up into something it's not - cos (imho), you'll get trounced and make yourself look like a fool....
