I'm going for a theme of just enough storage and protection to keep the weight light and low. I'm old enough now (mid 50's) that protection suitable for hard falls and the extra weight of large bags/loads won't help if I bang myself up too much. I don't care if the bikes survives but I can't ride it. I'll swap the seat next Friday then I'm gonna throw some miles on it.

I know many view the GS or ST as adventure bikes. I view them as big standards that I have adventures on.

Just unloaded the beast. Took just about two months but all my belongings finally arrived in Hawaii.
Sadly my wife's Ninja 250 blew a fork seal in transit. The tenere however is 100% ok.

She's a whole new dance partner with that front end fixed up. GONE is the brutal high-speed damping issue. (If you ever experience the hydra-lock over washboard)
And the rear end can now be tamed for a much wider spread of cargo configurations. Solo with no cargo, 2-up, or full pack-mule status.

I predict you will love it!

::025:: Solo, with no cargo....I wish. At 300lb, it is always the two-up position. I even have to put more air in my back tire. I put in full pack mule when my rides with me. Of course it won't be referred to that when she's around.

Removed a couple of things that are not going with the sold bike. Test fit the SuperTank. Fits perfect, no clearance issues and with tank bag on top, no interference with gauges and GPS view.

That reminds me of a Cylon from Battlestar Galactica, but in a good way.

Probably the worst for the high speed compression damping was expansion ridges on the freeway. Probably do to the temperature extremes and spread, up here we have ridges on the freeway that are like speed bumps or "topes". At 75 to 80 they will clang yir teeth together.

I am looking forward to the "new" bike.

Local welder quoted me $600 and stuck to it. A little blocky, but for the cost, I'm ok with it. (He won't do another for that price!) Totally functional for my needs. I'll have it primed & LineX'd black and toss it on the new bike. Not sure what the useable volume is, but should be 8.5 or so gallons. Keep me in the range of the wife's GSA and gives me space for the camping box on the back.

Interesting super tanker. Will be cool to see the completed job. Is line-X a good inner full tank liner? I have seen speciality products for liners and then people use POR15 on older restoration bikes. This is the first time I've heard of Line-X but I know from my truck beds it is tough.

I am not using LineX on the inside. I will be having the outside sprayed with LineX after it is primed in lieu of traditional paint. This will hide some of the imperfections and give me a very durable outside finish as well. The inside will not be getting any coatings. After reading a lot about inside coatings, I'm staying away from them. The better ones are supposed to be ok with the alcohol in fuels now, but a lot can go wrong and make a mess. No coatings on the oem tank.

Not today, but last week had my buddy install the Yoshi pipe. I like how it sounds, but it really cut down on the engine braking. I always thought this bike's engine braking was a bit much, so I am happy about that.

Added some Dynamat sound absorbing material to my Alt Rider skid plate...HUGE improvement

In what? Noise of debris hitting the plate? (that stirs up the earplug thread...)
