Wow, just over a year ago since I did this mod! I have beat the snot out of my Tenere off road and the mod has worked perfect! Nothing broken, cracked, torn, or worn out.
Wow howier! You sure did load up the bar! I like your mod the best since you made the support smaller by mounting the bar in a new hole in the bracket and you painted them black . It is good to know that you have had success.howier said:This works pretty well. A little movement on rough road. Pavement is good though.

I'm using a ball mount and a short, 2.5", arm. I can see where a longer arm may tend to increase the affect of any vibration and could be a problem...

You two need to have a duel, or get your own forum, or get a divorce lawyer, or ...Dallara said:OK, I gotta' ask...
Which is it? A Garmin 550, a 530LM(a what?), or a 350? And why the two posts about exactly the same thing? What's up with *THAT*? :-\
First the spelling and grammar errors all over two forums, and now 2 almost identical posts just 5 minutes apart? Is this a Florida retiree thing? ::025::
I'm beginning to see why you need that gear indicator and those self-canceling turn signals so desperately... )

What is it between you two, anyway? Have you ever met, or is this just an internet romance? ::025::Dallara said:Hey, I got no problem with a duel... Sabres, pistols, knives, or Super Tenere's on a curvy road! I'm game! ::012::
As for your divorce comment... I think you're confused. Paul/Big Blu/Roadscum is currently courting some guy named radbrad511 over on ADVrider - http://www.advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=24417682&postcount=23530

Seriously, Dallara - you should chill on the spelling/grammar slams and keep it on topic. As we all know, you have more than enough cred on the technical/experience front and really don't need to get petty like that. It's amusing as long as there's a healthy back and forth (e.g., you and Pluric on the other forum), but this fight seems pretty one-sided since Big-Blu chooses not to engage.
I mean really. You should see how you two look to everyone else.arjayes said:You two need to have a duel, or get your own forum, or get a divorce lawyer, or ...
