Hey guys - here's another of the new line of parts DS Bike Protection is releasing for the Super Tenere. These fork guards are made of 1.5mm aluminum and anodized black (I'm confirming whether decals as shown are included and/or applied). They'll do a nice job of protecting your fork sliders and fork seals, and will bolt right up using the included hardware. These should be available about the same time as the new upper crashbars (as seen here) and I'll confirm once I know they are shipping from Spain. If you'd like to reserve a set, you can place a pre-order on our site by going here, or by clicking on any of the pictures below.

Any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

Gotta admit, those fork guards look well done. I'll stay tuned.

Is the price shown for a set of two guards, or for a single guard, of which I'll need two...

C'mon man - go truly asymmetrical - might be a cool effect.

Question: if I ride past you quickly while flipping you the bird, do you hear a Doppler effect? ;)

Hi guys - thanks for the feedback (and comedy ::025::). The guards are sold as a pair, and I've confirmed that they will be as shown with the red Yamaha and white DS Bike decal already installed. Both are removable if you decide you'd like to go for the stealth look.

I'll speak with DS Bike this week and get a good estimate on arrival date, but am hoping for mid to late February. Any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

Guess you only buy farkles that actually address "problems". Hmmmm.

Or maybe what you perceive to be problems, which may be very different from someone else's perception...

Looks like a great option for those wanting the Worldcrosser look at a fraction of the price. The fancy bits from Yamaha are almost $600!

Thanks guys! All pre-orders received so far are queued up and will be the first ones shipped out as soon as we receive stock from Spain. We're getting the order finalized with DS Bike and should have an ETA soon. I'll post back up here as soon as I have more info, but if you have any questions in the meantime, please let me know.

Thanks again...

Quick update....the order has gone in to Spain for the first run of fork guards (and other parts), and I should get a better sense next week of when to expect them by. One clarification - the "Yamaha" decals shown will not be pre-applied, but will be included in the package and ready to install. All decals on the first run will be white, but I've also ordered the decals in red, Yamaha blue, and yellow. For all that have placed pre-orders so far, if you have a decal color preference, please let me know.

Thanks guys...

Estimated delivery to New York is two weeks (roughly mid-February, assuming no issues with Customs clearance).......not much longer now! For all of you that have placed pre-orders, we'll get the inventory and repacking turned around in 1-2 days after arrival and you'll get an email with tracking info shortly thereafter.

Any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

They're here and they look awesome! ::015::

After filling all pre-orders, I only have a few sets left in stock (all come with red Yamaha decals, not installed). I also got the first shipment of the Yamaha upper crashbars and should have some still available after pre-orders are filled.

Any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!
