You are doing a great job with this little tenere, as expected. If I ever get tired of the s10's power, I will follow your lead.
Why you dropped the two disc brake configuration? Weight saving only??

I guess those forks are coming from yz/wr models... As i own one (wr450), i wonder what are your handling impressions with very different suspension travel? Front vs. Rear must be 300mm vs. 200mm. Just curious...

More than a power issue the change from a ST to a 660 must be if you want a more dirt oriented bike, at least this was my case. ;)
The single disc is because the YZ forks has only one bracket but also I change the rim and hub. Al of this saves lot of wheigh.
I did a short test today. The first impressions are great.
The forks are coming from a YZ. My rear shock is a enlarged TFX and the combo seems to work well.

Nice, very nice...

Are those Pivot pegs? How do you like them compared to TT ones you had on S10?

Yes. The Pivot are fantastic, much better than the TT. They addapt to the rider movements. For example when you brakes. Very nice.

That is probably the best looking dual purpose bike I ever saw in my life. Respect.

That turned out fantastic! I will be curious to hear how well the decals work in protecting the bodywork. ::017::
