Hi this may have been discussed before but just wondering if KTM 790 r folks and shock fit straight in , replacing the Apex ones cheers.

Yes, 100%. I've done it on mine.

But you have to consider:

• Put a small extension to the side stand. You can weld it or put the 890R sidestand.
• If you go for the 240mm fork you are good to go, but if you go for the 270mm fork (890 Rally) you will need to change the brake lines.

Hope this helps!

Yes! it completely transforms the bike, specially at the rear where it lacked ajustabilty and bottom out resistance. My rear shock has a custom tune btw

Those are Barkbusters handguards. I drilled them to attach the folding mirrors as I didn't like the stock wind-buffeting gigantic ones
