My 6 month old helmet is an XL and in excellent/clean condition. I always wear a helmet liner so it's clean inside as well. There is no fogging to worry about with the Pin Lock visor. The internal sun visor works great too. With the extra wide chin baffle mounted, it's a pretty quite and warm...

Re: 2012 Super Tenere For Sale in west central Florida Bump for updated info and mileage. Thanks!

Nice! Me likey. The mesh makes it look like a mouth. Ok, after the dash panel and panniers, this will the next project.

I got the Kydex off Amazon at "Plastics 2000". The 12"x12" sheets were about $7.50. I used a plain old heat gun to form the Kydex. It works like a champ. Maybe next time I'd use a bit thicker (0.93" maybe) panel for the wind deflectors. Those bends on the hand guard extensions are a bit more...

The hand guards actually stand up a bit more than the photo would suggest. I think if I removed the far inside screw to release some tension, I could re-heat them and pull them up further. I think if they turned at the outside edge and came back a little along the side it would help too. It's...

With a couple of hours of garage time and about $35... I took 2-0.08", 12"x12" Kydex panels and handcrafted a pair of wind deflectors and hand guard extensions. Not a bad Saturday. First I made a manila folder template. Then cut the shape out of Kydex. I attached the Kydex, heated and bent...

I like my new Tourance set so far. My Tourance EXP's didn't seem to wear well at all. Hopefully, I'll get some better mileage out of these.

Re: 2012 Super Tenere For Sale in west central Florida Thanks for the kind words guys. I'd put him on the back, but he's almost 6'4"! ???

Blue 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere (XTZ12BL) currently with approx. 6100 miles. Always stored in garage or under cover at office. Meticulous break-in done. Very clean and well cared for. Farkles: Alt-Rider crash bars, Oxford heated grips, LED Driving Lights, Side Cockpit & Hand guard Wind...

I just installed a set of Oxford's and they work great. $75 versus $400 for the OEM's is a no-brainer.

Nice lights Typhoon. I'll have to check them out. I've noticed riding to work in the dark lately that I'm not pleased with the low beams at all. I certainly need something that throws some light down range but, not in the eyes of approaching cagers. I get tons of flashing lights at me when I'm...

I left Sarasota and took a hairy ride on I-275 through St Pete to a dealer who spooned on a set of Metzeler Tourance tires (for free!). Hopefully, these last longer than the Tourance EXP's that came on the bike. While there, I added a nice Tourmaster tank bag then stopped off at Cycle Gear on...

I'm hitting about a 46.3 ave. right now with very light loading.

Mine looks just the same. I have 3500 mi on it at the moment. No heavy loading, actually, no loading at all so far. Just me and I'm 205 lbs with gear. I run the inflation rates from the manufacturer. My rear tire is getting low as well. I'm already looking for a new set. I may get to 4500 mi on...
