    Just looking for a percentage of ES to non-ES bikes

    Love my ES. I use it all the time. Its fantastic on the dirt roads, makes the washboards disappear with a flick of a switch. I also change the preload often according to the total weight of the bike. Love it and would buy the ES model again.

    Madstad bracket and windshield

    What surprised me when I installed the madstad bracket was that it works best for me ( with the Givi airflow ) works best in the most vertical position. Its almost at its vertical limit.

    Guy´s , Just buy Givi Airflow for the 2011 - 2014 model. It will fit straight on if you have older model , only thing you need to do if you have the newer bikes ( I have 2016 ) is to take off the new adjustable bracket , then the Givi Airflow will be a direct fit. Better though is to buy the...

    SW-Motech Skid Plate Install

    I removed my SW motech plate yesterday, exchanged it for Raventec 4mm plate. I found the SWM plate way to soft for anything serious off roading.

    Ravetech skid plate

    Put mine on yesterday, did have to make one fitting hole a little bigger. No clearance issue and it looks good and feels very sturdy.

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Removed SW Motech Skidplate , didn´t find it sturdy enough for my conditions. Installed Ravetech 4mm skidplate, much better in my opinion.

    Extra gas storage options

    I mounted a rotopax system on my topcase. Fitted a aluminum plate inside the case for stability. I know this will move the center of gravity up but the first thing I do when travelling is to empty these containers into the fuel tank. With this system I can have 2 rotopax containers , either...
