I did the same thing. Looked like that was the way it should go on, but doesn't.
I would recommend as well!
What you did to your Tenere today??!!

I love the seat. I rode from Seattle to Redding on the stock seat to get it installed and I was fidgeting the whole time. After installed, I rode 6 hours to the coast and it was night and day better; I didn't once think about my butt. My pillion could only do 90 minutes on the stock back seat, now she can do 4-6 hours in one go. Shelling out the money hurt a little up front, but I now have zero regrets.
I haven't tried the other ones, but i figured if everyone that rides an RDL fell in love, it must be worth it.
Remember that it adds an inch or two in height (it will break down to be less after a few hours) so you need to scoot forward when you stop. I may or may not have stopped on a gravel turnout an hour into my new seat, forgot that it was taller, and dropped the bike. Thank god for the Rumbux.

Washed it for the first time this year.
She deserved it after I cheated on her this week and went on a 4 hour demo ride with this....

When I had my Harley it was always like that. The clutch fluid would be disgusting yet the brake fluid would be good. They told me it was normal, for me it was the first time I seen the clutch fluid turn grey like it did.

Clutch fluid absorbs the heat from the motor every time you ride, as brake fluid rarely gets hot under normal use.
Heat is what breaks it down.

Are you sure about that? I am not even aware of clutch fluid change intervals on (manual) cars, and wouldn't your clutch get a little spongy if the fluid breaks down and absorbs water?

Positive. It's only resistance, how would it feel spongy?

There’s a lot more fluid displacement when you use the clutch. With brakes there’s hardly any displacement, mostly you just pressurize it. Also, think how much more you use the clutch compared to the brakes. The clutch fluid gets worked!

Installed the windshield braces. Now if it will quit raining I can test them. Thanks Tom.
Makes sense, probably "circulates" more. Every time you need to change it you need to open a new bottle, so the clutch sets the schedule, then I go ahead and do the brakes with the leftovers.

Anakee Adventures were mounted yesterday and I put over 100 miles on the clock riding both on the highway and backroad curves.
So far so good but they do howl a bit at speeds above 50MPH and in the curves however I assume the howl will diminish as
miles rack up and the tires start to wear down a bit.
Once these AAs are fully scrubbed in I will post my impressions especially how they are off the pavement.

Looks great
But surprised that they howl

I am by no means an experienced tire critic. When I picked up my used ‘13 S10 last June it was still wearing its original Metzeler Tourance EXPs with about 8K miles on them, the rear was quite squared off and the front was moderately worn. The previous owner bought this ‘13 S10 as a left over in late ‘15 and did not put on the road till Spring ‘16.Looks great

The howling that I heard from my new Anakee Adventures may in fact be normal for brand new rubber.
Perhaps I was just used to riding (1,200 miles worth) around on the worn out Metzlers?

Couple of things today, added the Pyramid Plastics side panel (Viper Blue), was tired of that wet/cold spot on my leg from road spray being thrown up, also added my Barret Slip-on (still deciding whether to put the tea strainer back in to take the bark out of the note)...next will probably be the Bumot racks and panniers.
