Replaced a bad Cyclops LED headlight bulb
What you did to your Tenere today??!!

Tried out these grip buddies on a nice 100 mile ride. Definitely an improvement from the slippery heated grips. Remembered how badly the projector aim is affected by bike load. New shock will be needed before any big trips this year.

Congrats getting the XT2. I got one recently and find it really easy to use, especially with the Tread app. Route planning is so easy. A friend of mine has the old XT and says Basecamp is 'interesting' to use. The mount is currently fixed left bar on my Gen2 but I found it took my attention away from the road. So now I've ordered a set of Nav Bar Stabilizers from our Canadian friend Ladlesport. https://ladlesportadv.com/products/2014-yamaha-super-tenere-nav-bar-stabilizers
i have a friend on the tenere facebook group charlie that does the screen stabilizing bars for the gen 2 in the UK

Thanks Rob. I would have bought more locally if I'd known. Mine are already on their way.

What seat is that?
The new tank protector.
I got it weeks ago with the plan to put it on when I had time. Only took 5 minutes
The seat is the standard seat. I’ve recovered it and put gel in there.
There’s a French company called Top Sellerie that do seat covers, seats, tank covers and bags. You can customise the seat covers to a myriad of colours and fabric types. Heated and gel etc etc.
The quality is EXCELLENT as I’ve used their stuff for years now.
You can have them provide a seat carcass, provide them one from you, or do the covers yourself.
Replaced both my LED headlights. One of the Shengda 360 degrees failed at 49kMi and 45 months. Got a pair of Bullnuxi 360s on Amazon. Very similar. Happy with the performance and value.

I have the cyclops covers for more room, but no other modifications. P&P

I like the 360 part but there seems to be lots of bad reviews, the 25,000 lumens rating is that for the 2 bulbs combined which would mean 12,500 lumens per bulb ?
$37 for the pair I just might decide to give them a try
buying 360 LED bulbs gets pretty interesting, eBay actually has some with a 5 year warranty

I replaced the front Anakee Adventure with another one. I got 13,800 miles on the old one but the tread was gone on both sides with a bit of shallow (below the wear bars) tread left in the middle. My bike just turned 99,000 miles.

I replaced the halogen H7 headlights with these Novsight N63 H7 LEDs. Easy swap out - no wiring or cap modifications needed. Went for a ride last night, and I am happy to report that the increase in light is very, very evident. One of the best low-cost (approx. $40) upgrades I've done. I'm super happy with the results.

Tried a set of Novsight but they were only about 10,000 lumens, they seemed worse than the stock H7’s so I took them out. Yours are 16,000 lumens so are probably much better.

While I didn't do a side by side comparison, it seemed obvious to me than the LEDs were way better than the Sylvania halogens. It was really confidence-inspiring.

Today I replaced the accessory power socket with something more relevant. It has a USB-a, a USB-c and a volt meter as well.
