    Just looking for a percentage of ES to non-ES bikes

    Love my ES. I use it all the time. Its fantastic on the dirt roads, makes the washboards disappear with a flick of a switch. I also change the preload often according to the total weight of the bike. Love it and would buy the ES model again.

    Installed tall Yamaha windscreen and side wind deflectors today

    Guy´s , Just buy Givi Airflow for the 2011 - 2014 model. It will fit straight on if you have older model , only thing you need to do if you have the newer bikes ( I have 2016 ) is to take off the new adjustable bracket , then the Givi Airflow will be a direct fit. Better though is to buy the...

    SW-Motech Skid Plate Install

    I removed my SW motech plate yesterday, exchanged it for Raventec 4mm plate. I found the SWM plate way to soft for anything serious off roading.

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    Removed SW Motech Skidplate , didn´t find it sturdy enough for my conditions. Installed Ravetech 4mm skidplate, much better in my opinion.

    Extra gas storage options

    I mounted a rotopax system on my topcase. Fitted a aluminum plate inside the case for stability. I know this will move the center of gravity up but the first thing I do when travelling is to empty these containers into the fuel tank. With this system I can have 2 rotopax containers , either...
