Either I don't fit, or something is wrong with me as this Tenere does all that is asked of it well. Starts quickly, pulls off from a stop without a lot of revs, passes other traffic at 80+ on the nearby turnpike. Gotta have cruise, it works well. I've added more and more accessories to make it more appealing to me (good for you, $s out of my pocket), but it is just not my cup of tea.
It has; Bumot Panniers with the tool carrier mounted inside the right luggage bracket
Madstad wind screen - provides me more protection
Tail luggage box from Amazon - hide the helmet.
Tire Pressure Monitor
LED light bar under the headlights. Another inexpensive Amazon purchase.
Quick release tank bag. Has a hole in front for feeding USB cables through. Keep your gadgets charged.
Heidenau K76 tires - shod about 2k miles ago. More road oriented than the K60. The stock tires were OK but getting older with micro-cracks. Time to replace.
Yaesu battery - First week of May. The stock battery still worked fine, but at 4 years, I thought the engine should crank faster, even tho the bike never failed to start.
I have a couple of marker tail lights on the panniers to show dimensions to someone following at night. Cheesy looking and could be removed or replaced with a conventional red marker light. Weather tight screw connectors for the wires enable removal of the panniers.
Oil, brake, and clutch fluids replaced around 6K.
All electrical additions were done with plugs and jacks that fit the Tenere. I will NOT cut into stock wiring.
I've added a dash under the instruments with a switch to go between stock and dual horns (stock/polite and loud), high and low intensity LED light bar control, TPMS, Voltmeter/USB supply.
Someone fussed about adding pictures. Prior posts, one would click on a picture and the full image would appear. I hope this is what happens. I can re-post full size images.
The bike is 4 years old and has some little scratchs on the tank. I took a day long safety course and fell in a tight turn. I see no damage to anything, but did replace a side protector. Then there is the title. In Oklahoma, it shows up as a blemish on the mileage. The dealer I bought it from registered it with 1K more miles than it had, when I bought with 1K less, it created the blemish with the states' Tag Agencies.
We'll see if that asking price works.
