My Super Tenere

[SpaceTraveler]

The grey & black is definitely the best colour currently IMO..... I only wish that colour had been available when I bought mine.
Of course.... that awesome photography does that colour even more justice.

I LOVE the grey one so much... I sold my '08 GS for.

There's where you will be pleasantly surprised SpaceTraveler, The rewards are endless! You will feel "overpaid" by the time the rally is over.

I will let you say that to my wife

Wise move.

I got my GPS installed today. Same place then what I use to have on the GS. Love to have it there and the Touratech bracket with lock is very useful. It is nice to have it with the same key as the panniers.

Crash bars and skid plate soon I guess...

Tires are Heidenau K60.

 

[SpaceTraveler]

I can't say much about it yet, I just did 850 KM so far... I didn't open the throttle too much and did only street, but the reviews are excellent.

Here is the review from Revzilla

Heidenau K60 Scout Tires Review at RevZilla.com

Must be an old Revzilla video. THAT 150 is no longer available. Bummer. Wish it was an option.

 

[SpaceTraveler]

Order from Canada then

These are a close 2nd. Full Bore M-40 Adventure Sport Radial.
I can't find any reviews on them but the pattern looks good and the price is even better.

I just got other farkles from Touratech to installed on my Super Tenere. ::015::

I enjoyed putting it together and I did an other timelaps video. I am very happy with the look of the crash bars, they look way better in real than what I have seen on the web.

My biggest chanllenge was to fit the bolt of the skid plate bracket behind the pipe. :
Otherwise, everything is quite simple.

Touratech Crash Bars and Skid Plate for Super Tenere installed - Timelaps.

Amazing photos as usual ::008::. Where in Quebec is that?

 

[SpaceTraveler]

Thank you.

This is at St-Alexis-des-Monts, about 1h45 from Montreal.

Love what you've done with the bike - want the Zega Pro setup when I bite on hard luggage - just fits the bike very well...

Checked out your blog, very nice! Excelent photos. Working on photography myself, not quite to the level you are by any means. Let us know how the TPM's work. Iv'e been looking at them. Not real fond of the BIG display though.

 

[EricV]

Great pictures and nice blog. Take some precautions with the TireGuard TPMS though, as the display is not weatherproof/waterproof. It should have come with a silicone cover that can help.

There are fewer TPMS systems out at the moment for motorcycle use. One that many find to be, more robust, is Doran It's display is not quite as user friendly, showing symbols for each tire, but only reading one at a time, but it is weather/waterproof. The sensors can also be mounted inside or outside the wheels.

Every time I try to take a picture of a box, it comes out terrible! How do you do it? ::025:: Great pictures! love your setup, need to pick me up a set of Zega Pros!

I have the silicone cover, very easy to put on and off. It will stay on, just in case I got some rain.

I am impress to get it in 0.5 psi precision. I don't think it was that precise on the GS.
I know the screen is a bit big, but it doesn't hide anything so I think it is fine like that.

The Zega Pro are awesome for the side panniers, but the top rack need a re-design. I spoke to Herbert Schwarz (founder of Touratech) about the issue I got with the rack.

I am sure they will work on it very soon. I am very happy with all other product from Touratech.

For the picture, on this setup, I used a 90mm tilt and shift. So I can focus on things I want and get everything else out of focus.

errrrmmm.... pretty sure I used my 50mm fixed...
or maybe the plain jane standard lens that came with the camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/97730749@N03/9095210710/#
