Well, it took me a while but here are some pictures of the new steed. Taken today on my first (reasonably tame) off-road trip which completed the running in period. The gentle off-road is a warm up to doing Col de Finestre and the Col du Parpaillon later in the year. Bike has Altrider bars, ACD...

Thanks for that. I've had them on the bike and fitted up so they sit neatly. I'm thinking 45mm front and 55mm back so far. I'll get them made and post the results. Chris

Hi all Just had my Bumot panniers delivered today. Initial impressions are very good, top case fitted no problem. Panniers are a bit more difficult. I have a 2015 UK non-ES bike and one of the things the bike doesn't come with as standard is pillion grab handles like the ones in this picture...

Jason, thanks for the tip. Did a lot of thinking and have ordered the Bumot panniers including top case. Next step is sell the Zega's. I now have the bike, its great, will post a picture soon. Thanks again, Chris

Ok here is what I know. Yamaha grips have a resistance of 1.5ohms. Oxford adventure are 7.0ohms. The installed wiring on the 2014/2015 with Oxford grips fitted gives a max measured output of 3.8v depending on grip setting (dealer did this for me). So in terms of electrical power, standard...

Could anyone tell me how the grips work? Does the bike deliver a constant voltage to the grips of 0 - 12 volts depending on how hot you want them? Reason for asking, thinking of fitting Oxford grips to run off the on board computer. The Oxford grips and controller sends 12v to the grips and...

Jason, thanks for the tip. Sent Holan an email. Had a look at the website and looks promising. I was also recommended this http://www.stahlkoffer.com/ The kit looks good (my friend loves his top box) but I've not yet figured if it will suit my existing equipment. Thanks, Chris

Thanks for that guys. Currently considering TT racks and existing Zega panniers with Givi Outback top box. I recon my TT boxes 37/45l will be about the same width as two 38l Givi panniers (~970mm). Anyone know if Givi locks will fit TT Zega cases? Thanks, Chris

Hi Folks From my intro post, I'm planning on having my S10 arriving at the beginning of March. I was going to buy a pannier frame, and top box + frame from Touratech, then use my existing 2006 Touratech Zega panniers. Unfortunately Touratech UK want 50% more for the equipment than advertised...

Thanks for all the replies folks. VFR was collected tonight which is the first step. Tenere is being put together, have gone for the following: ACD skid plate Altrider crash bars Touratech pannier frames to take 06 zega panniers Touratech top box Oxford heated grips Collection date 1st March...

Good news, my existing 2006 Touratech Zega panniers will fit the 2015 pannier racks ::012::

Thanks for the replies. Only the ZE (elec suspension) comes with centrestand, on the 1200Z its an optional extra, as are heated grips. Ardcases do look good but I'll see if my existing Touratech Zega boxes will fit first. Maybe an Ardcase top box.. I found this relating to aftermarket grips...

Hi all As mentioned in my intro thread I’m looking at getting a new XT1200Z at the beginning of March. I’m planning on doing some immediate accessorising (after all there is no point waiting…). Any opinions on the following would be appreciated. Panniers: Originally I was thinking SW Motec as...

Ha. Funnily enough my Dad lives in Belmont near Bolton. Thats where I grew up!! When I first got a bike the first trips I made in the North West were the obligatory trips to Rivington Barn and up to Devils Bridge!! Thanks for all the replies people, Edinburgh is a great place to live, been here...

Hi all Name is Chris. Don't have a a bike yet so no pics, am lining up a new one for the 1st March so I can get a 15 plate (no point rushing in for a 64 in this weather....). It will be my first (and probably last ever) brand new motorbike. Will be swapping from a 1998 VFR 800 so a bit of a...
