Thank you! Payment sent last night.

I'm in - I need these! Conversation underway...

This bar will readily attach to your license plate bolts and that is how I installed one on my friend's Honda. It looks great, but I wanted mine up higher and wasn't worried about drilling into the Yamaha box.

I should have photographed it, but I tied into the wiring that is under the rear seat. They provide Posi-Taps but I prefer soldering so that's what I did. Some shrink tubing and electrical tape, and it came out really clean.

Yes I used a flat 5 trailer connector so it comes apart with a quick tug. There are more elegant connectors out there, but trailer connectors are rugged and simple so that's what I decided to go with.

Not sure if this will be helpful to anyone out there, but I've been looking at ways to increase my visibility on my recently purchased Tenere while out in traffic. I looked at several options and decided on the Admore light bar which is a "LED High-Powered SMT Light Bar with modulating brake...

Thanks for this - I have to replace the same one on my Tenere due to a broken lens. It didn't look like a quick and easy swap and your post confirms it. It'll come in handy though when I dig into it!

Since picking up my Tenere, I've put over 600 miles on it. I have to say, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase! I owned an Aprilia Caponord for 6 years and 22K miles. I absolutely loved that bike, with its Italian flaws and all. I spent many hours in the garage, preemptively fixing the...

Looks great!

Yes, it got interesting in a few spots. My buddy lost it on this muddy uphill 2 track when his tires caught the edge of that rut. When it was dry, I got through it easily on my big old Caponord. Another place to get dirty nearby. There is a bunch of this type of thing over there if you...

Yuasa YTZ14S which is 230 CCA versus 210 CCA on the stock battery. Same physical size so goes in with no problem. I made the same change on my Aprilia Caponord and noticed better cold weather starts in my unheated garage.

For us Illinois riders looking to get off pavement, another area with lots of low-traffic unpaved roads is Freeport, IL. I've had a couple of great days of riding out there.
