S Stainless steel....the black ones are powdercoated, the silver ones are raw but shot peened. If I was to do it again, I might go for the silver ones as flaky powdercoat is a PITA.

Really good to know! I am just going to let the bars do what they do and get them redone whenever they get too nasty. Seems PC certainly isn’t created equal…

For sure, and it's a shame that they don't put more onus on the finished product. The bars get great reviews for protection (which I appreciate is the biggest reason to have them) but the consumer sure would appreciate nicer and more robust finishing. I am pretty sure that my local powder...

Thank you! I am putting my faith in the engineering guys at Altrider that they did their maths on the specs. They state loctite and 75Nm on threads with Loctite. No issues going in (which I thing is probably where they would bind/strip) so hopefully they come out in the event that I need to...

Thanks for the response, much appreciated. The bolts are actually yellow zinc plated stainless (my mistake, I referred to them as galvanised in my original post). I am trusting Altrider on their engineered torque specs....hopefully they have this right as these bars have been out for many years...

Yeah, I posted in body/frame/paint but it got moved to member introductions? No matter

Hello back! I think?

Thanks for the response, much appreciated. You raise a good point, when removing the OEM fasteners from the engine mounts, they were tight (felt at least 75Nm) I have actually been trying to find this OEM spec torque setting for peace of mind. I know that they are 75Nm for my Tenere 700 which is...

They look like a quality job. I am from the UK, but live in Canada now. Winters here are a whole new level...I used to ride mostly all year back home, but out of the question here!

Thanks Rob, appreciate your response. Problem with Facebook, is that there a lot of keyboard experts and many people often give sarcastic or unhelpful comments. Not you I might add!

First time poster and first time owner of a Super Tenere. I have enjoyed reading through the forum. I bought my 2021 just before a Candian winter, and it has barely turned a wheel yet! However, these brutal winter months have been giving me time to bolt of the parts that I want before using it...
