I love that skidplate skunkworks but how much? I guess it's pricey. Never seen one in uk

It is from T-Rex Racing. A company in Texas.
https://www.t-rex-racing.com/2012-2018-Yamaha-Super-Tenere-Skid-Plate-p/n77-12sp.htm
It shows as $254.95 USD with free shipping, but I'm not sure about shipping to the UK?

Installation was really easy for the Skid-Plate, however some folks have reported difficulty installing their Crash-Bars with it.
I have different Crash-Bar setup, and had no issues mounting them.

Weather was finally out of a deep freeze to the mid 50s. Don't know why but decided to ride north on the Garden State Deathway and visit my Grandmother and a few uncles and aunts at Westwood Cemetery in Oradel, NJ. Been 30 years since I last visited. I couldn't even find their headstones. It wasn't a morbid ride but always saying, 'I have to make time to go,' then never going. Today was the day. About time i paid my respects. (Picture was at a different cemetery 5 miles away. At least now it will be easier to visit)

Nice tyres, I run the OEMs until they need to be replaced.
I got approximately 15,500 KM (9,000 miles) on my OEM tyres with my Africa Twin. All city- highway very little gravel.
What can I expect of the Battle Wing tyres?

I just dismounted my original battle wings. I've got 12.5k on the bike. Not the original owner. Bought the bike with 8k on it. As far as I know that was all 2 up ridding. They traveled Europe for most of a year on their honeymoon. Yes the bike has a lot of great storytelling. Wish it could talk.

Yes.

The spark plugs after 26,000 miles. A little dirty, but evenly so, and the electrodes fine, or am I missing something bad?
And definitely some signs of water intrusion into the leftmost plug at some time, but not enough to cause any rust.

It was 60 degrees here in central KY today.
Took some back roads out to Taylorsville lake.View attachment 52435 View attachment 52436

hey KYwoodsrider I see you are at Vanburen boat ramp. Did you see the eagles that nest straight across from where your bike is parked? I live near there and go there all during the year to watch them.

I added the T-Rex crash bars and skidplate.... note to whomever installs these in the future.... it is a miserable job!!

Mine looked the same, maybe a bit lighter and no sign of water intrusion. I installed a fender extender shortly after purchase however.

Rode that bad boy.

A new shock spring arrived from Racetech today. Can’t wait to swap them.

Hmmmmm, I'm real envious. We hit a high of 6 C or about 43 F today.
Our bikes are all in storage, too much salt and sand on the roads.

So glad you do the conversion for us south of the border. I always try to do it in my mind but unfortunately a few degrees off. Hang in there spring is coming.

Yamahaguy · Feb 5, 2019

Finally got around to installing my TKC 80’s . Can’t wait to test them off road.

bnschroder · Feb 5, 2019

Oh man, I don’t think my bike has been that clean since it rolled out of the dealership in 204

Same thing sort of thing arrived this week. Going to try these out in a “cost effective” test to see how they do in comparison to the E0-7 I have been running.

Yes, looks fine.
The gap seems to be a little big though...should be arounf 1,2 mm

Grumpy · Feb 7, 2019

Today I put in a K&N air filter. The old one was only 6000 miles old, but after install I fired her up and I think it was the best start since I bought the bike, instant with no trace of lumpiness as it warmed up to tick-over.

I've had these bunjees for years and I finally have a use for them.

I love shinkos. I run one on the front and it pairs well with the E07 on the rear. I've also run both of those 804/805's and find I got about 8k out of the rear.
