New air filter and spark plugs after 26,000 miles. Next: Throttle body sync and brake fluid change.

I'm doing brake and clutch fluid next weekend. I checked and cleaned the brakes last weekend and found the rear pads to be low, so waiting for new ones to arrive. I've done the oil and filter, greased the drive shaft splines and changed the oil in the FD too. Trying Castrol synthetic gl5 in there this time...

On Saturday I fitted my Rox risers and yesterday went for a cold and windy ride to the seaside (UK, East coast), about 180 miles.

The risers are brilliant and the bike handles strong sidewinds really well - the cold, muddy slippery roads were less fun but at least the ABS and traction control both work!

Photo of the bike by the beach, the little dot in the sea is the local coastguard out for practise/play in the breaking waves.

Lovely, I can't tell you how envious we are over here in freezing Canada. Midst of a snow storm at the moment.
Pleased to hear the Tenere is stable in high winds. My Africa Twin (great bike) with 9 1/2 inches of ground clearance was rather treacherous at great speeds in high winds, culpa mea though for riding too fast.

I wanted this "Filler Panel" that Pyramid Plastics makes, but they want around $100 for them.........................

So I made one for FREE! (well, not exactly free. It cost me a box of donuts)

IMG_3779.JPG

Cut out the exact shape I wanted, using Cardboard from a donut-box...................
Traced the shape onto a sheet of Stainless-Steel from an old Bosch Dishwasher that we no longer have.

Cut it out using my Air-Cutoff Wheel.

Smoothed the edges on my Bench-Grinder

IMG_3788.JPG

Punched out the Holes that are already in the Subframe............No drilling on the bike at all.
Transferred them to the SS, and drilled them out.

I had a bag of these leftover from the inner fender panels on my Jeep.

I like it!
I'm thinking once it warms up this Spring, I'll take it off and paint it "Satin-Black"

Now that my friend, is the epitome of repurposing!
Looks good, nice work, great fabbing skills!

Not today but over the last couple of days, zip tied the spokes, side stand enlarger fitted, handlebar cross bar fitted (not sure it's needed but it has been in my box of bike bits for ages) and finally Givi toolbox fitted. Had to put spacers on the connecting bar for the pannier racks in order to use the key, indicator in the way of having the lock in the top position.DSCF2670.JPG
