Kruzzin5, You know how it is. We all have different opinions and most importantly riding styles and backgrounds. Erics background is long distance Iron Butt style with more miles than I can comprehend. My background is primarily off road and hard core extreme riding. I have done a few cross country rides and have quite a bit of pavement experience. Nothing like Eric though.
When I think of a modification, I figure in what is the worst that can go wrong. In the case of the guy whose bars snapped off, he was lucky. It was a charity ride and we were able to recover it with a 4wd truck.
Sometimes I'm way off and it bites me in the butt every time!! An example is the aftermarket pegs and shifter. It ended up being a 500.00 mistake!! Off road beats the crap out of any bike. The Super Tenere is no exception. And simple tip overs can be expensive.
