Thanks guys... I look forward to beating it off road. The suspension guys wanted some test done on road and gathering some numbers before I started jumping off rock walls with the bike.. ::26:: Hope to get out in the dirt this weekend and put the pedal to the metal.
Now that the motor is sorted and the suspension is sorted this bike is an absolute DREAM ! Thanks for the complements, messing with this bike is a disease... :D Best part is taking it out and using it like it was intended ! ! ! And I look forward to it !!!!!! Thanks again ! ::26::

I ride Adventure bikes, damn-it. I don't get excited about how a bike looks.

That said...sweet looking bike there, Jaxon. And to think that package comes with a tweaked motor and suspension. I'm not the jealous type, but daaammmnn, nice ride. ::008::

I just want to know where he finds the time to keep it clean. Even if I had mine configured exactly the same, it would have a patina, if you know what I mean.

Good point my friend. That was very insensitive of me. And you are right, if I lived in one of the "winter" states, I would have a shiny new bike every spring too. As it is, my poor Tenere hardly gets a day off. Road to work in a morning shower today! Was really nice coming home though.

It's a carbon Akrapovic off a Hayabusa. I fashioned the end pipe. I get complements on the sound of it on the Tenere.

Ohlins looks really nice ::008::

I have had some Ohlins in the past, but the prices have rocketed in the UK over the last few years, back in 2009 I bought one for a ZZR1400 (ZX14R) and it was about 20% more than a top spec Wilburs, they are now about 50% more expensive so my last two bikes have had Wilburs, they perform very well, but I do miss that Gold look.
