Took a short ride from the house down the BRP on Sunday. Hit Heintooga Round Bottom road and through Cherokee. Beautiful day to be in Western NC!

Absolutely beautiful, and I fully agree with the idea of leaving it as original, especially the 8 track! If you ever decide to sell it, I’d like a crack at it. I had a 79 back in the day and have regretted selling it since the minute I got rid of it.

I want this T/A!! Beautiful ride! What are the details??

Same. I was just cursing at that nut the other night. Why didn;t I think of that??

Welcome, from the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina!

Beautiful ride and sounds like you got a good deal! I, like you, am new to the Tenere family but spent a fair amount of time on this forum prior to purchasing mine a couple of weeks ago. Mine is not as farkled as yours, but I have my eye on some of the same mods you mentioned. Congrats on...

Thanks for that info! I may end up going down one of these paths before its over!

That is a pretty good set-up and very similar to what I had on a previous bike. I would like to have something a little more low profile on the S10, and maybe something that looks factory. Thanks for the reply!

I've looked at those. My main concern with most that I have found is that they are for a smooth surface. The factory top box has the ridges, which I fear would interfere with adhesion of most aftermarket pads. I feel sure someone on this forum, much smarter than I, has already figured out the...

Has anyone fitted a passenger back rest pad to their OEM top box? And if so, what did you use or where did you get it? Thanks!

Welcome from NC!

Welcome from the western end of NC (Sylva near WCU)!

Thank you all for the replies. I was able to get out again today for short ride to compare it with GPS speed. The first thing I did was ensure it was indeed reading in MPH and not KPH. When I started off it was the same as yesterday, reading 10-20 MPH above what the GPS was reading. However...

So, I just picked up this new to be 2013 S10 last week with just shy of 6k miles. I have not had a chance to get on it other than a quick test drive around the neighborhood where I went and picked it up (the weather her has been crap). Today I had a few minutes so I hopped on for a quick spin...

I had the Tusk on a KLR and, like @eemsreno said, the smaller size takes some getting used to. I am currently looking for one to go on my new to me S10 as well but decided to look for something a bit larger that the Tusk. I may have to give the Nelson-Rigg a shot.
