I'm picking up a 2015 leftover today. After putting almost 50K miles on my 06 Ducati Monster, I was looking for something I could do a little off-road stuff. I looked at the Multistrada, KTM, BMW, Triumph and a couple more, and I always seemed to go back to the Tenere. Any advice/opinions on side panniers, engine guards, windshield? Thanks..

Greetings from Malta and welcome to the forum.

::004:: to the forum from Oklahoma. If you search for the different items, you will find a very wide variety of likes and dislikes. Most have a minimum of engine guards, skid plates, panniers and then it goes totally off the charts from there...

buy the bars soon, if it falls on the left hand side it can get expensive. These are the ones I use, made in Idaho by guys who do serious off-road riding, very stout:

On the cases, 'can't help you as I use a seat bags but they have more than a few of those. 'Enjoy the new bike.

Welcome aboard!! Lots of options, but I would suggest first reading through some of the sections on each item and see if you can narrow it down a bit based on the reviews of others. Also, I'd try the OEM for a while before you jump into anything aftermarket.

Good luck!!

My alt rider crash bars, acd skid plate, and bumot panniers are 2nd to none in my book. Windshields are a personal preference. I use an oem tall windshield and winglets and couldn't be happier. Im 5'10 for reference.
