    Suspension sizing for a 350# big guy

    Success! Very happy with the result. It was like, so that's what a suspension feels for normal people ;-) I'd say it's toward the firmer side. Going over some rough road and speed bumps, it definitely was doing good work. Cost was $130 parts $170 install (their labor rate is $120/hr) and and...

    Tall guy Mods to your Tenere. What have you done?

    Is there a bracket / adapter available to lower the OEM footpegs a little bit? Like they have for the V-Strom? (http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/172311646369?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true)

Following the racetech thread, I used their calculator to find out they want me to go from 12.5 to 21.4 kg on the rear spring and .960 to 1.104 kg/mm on the front (but there are no 1.1 kg products listed)...

    New (to me) 2014 Super Tenere

    I'm a 6' 350lbs guy, glad I found the Super Tenere. Big heavy powerful bike - I'd have been perfectly happy with a v-strom 650 engine wise - but this one just fit.
