What you did to your Tenere today??!!

[yz454]

Broke the kick tang . first week. Buy a a set of pegs two.

I wasn't happy. Probably because my pride got hurt the most.

BUSY DAY!!!

Added the ADVMonster amber lenses to my model 60 LED lights and then hooked up the ADVMonster dimmer so I can run them about 50% during the day or off if I want but still hooked to the high beam so they are 100% when the high beam is on:

Driving lights and dimmer about 50%

Driving lights and dimmer at 100%

High Beams

Then, the FedEx truck showed up with my Laam Seat - very nice work, Seth advised to give the asphalt material a try as it was close to the oem stuff and not as hard and slippery as the basketweave material.

Also, switched out the trekker cases for Bumot 36L/40L boxes and got rid of the givi top box:

Then added some reflective stripes to them to break up the look a little.

Mellow, what kind of highway pegs are you using?

Took her up to dealer for a late 600 mile service (oil + final drive), even though I'm almost at 1K. Now seems to run perceptibly smoother, if that's even possible!

Then, this evening, did a July joy-run up to Bethel CT to grab a 'Dagwood' burger and home-made root beer at the venerable Sycamore Drive-in. It was oldies car night, so plenty of vintage metal to ogle at...

That seat looks really nice!

Joe, I thought you were gung-ho on the Givi boxes-- why the change?

The Givis were fine, I just wanted them to fit tighter to the bike.

Made an appointment at the dealer for a valve check/adjustment. A little overdue, but I was somewhere in the Yukon or BC when I turned over 78k. I should wash the bike today, (first time ever), but it's already 90F at 10 am.

What parts did you use to make it? Looks like an simple cost effective solution.

Thanks
