    Auxiliary Light Bulb Replacement Option

    I installed a set of LED bulbs in place of the OEM position lights and the LED bulbs are clouding the inside of the headlight lenses. The only thing I can think of is that the bulbs I installed are slightly longer and therefore they are a little closer to the lense itself and the heat is causing...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I ordered Motorwerks cruise peg mounts and pegs for my 27mm SW Motec crash bars. Very costly parts, but simply the best alternative for a multi adjustable, slick looking design.

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I find that the stock rear brake pedal pad is woefully undersized for my liking. I just bought this Alt Rider bolt on that works a beaut, albeit at a ridiculous high price. Installation necessitated brake lever height and brake light switch adjustments of which I found to be tedious to get just...

    Dealerships drive me nuts.

    "I've been waiting for someone to sell me this bike but since no one wants to, I'm leaving without it. I'll get one somewhere else." This is exactly what you should have said !!!

    Dealerships drive me nuts.

    Ride 70 miles in the cold and you didn’t try to talk to them? Why wouldn’t you say something to them. Maybe, just maybe the sales staff thought that you were already being taken care of. I work at a very busy multi brand dealership and I understand how this can and does happen.

    Said Bye to the Tenere Today...

    I just did the opposite. I traded my R1200RT in on a new S10

    Side stand too short

    My left hip is my Achilles side. Not ready for replacement yet, but bad enough that I had to trade off my BMW R1200RT because the seat to tank junction was too wide. The Super T is much narrower and thus passably comfy for now.

    Side stand too short

    I also straddle mount my motorcycle like getting on a horse. Hoping that the Super T side stand is robust enough. There are other brands that have side stands that bend and/or require new bushings after a while if using this method to get onto them. I had to have the stand on my 2012 BMW R1200RT...

    Side stand too short

    Like most aftermarket items, you have to check them for wear and integrity at regular intervals.

    I thought there might be, so I hesitated to post the picture but it’s just so funny, albeit sexist.
