Where did you get your speed bleeders from, did they come as a complete kit for the Super Tenere ?
Have them on my Goldwing, they sure make bleeding a lot easier.
What you did to your Tenere today??!!

Made a new rack for Tenere last year. There was a space underneath and as it turns out it fits 3 saline bottles perfectly. Made a strap to hold them together and a bungee and voila. As it turned out I went camping last night and there was no water at the site, so a little serendipity there .
So far I am quite happy with the Wunderlich XT visor regarding both how it works and looks.
The fit is excellent and the ease of putting it on and taking it off is simply snap-on, snap-off.
The Wunderlich visor is comically overpriced but so is everything Wunderlich makes especially
when made in Germany which this visor is.
I looked at some XT visors over on Esty but I am not a fan of the 3D printing rough
plastic look. Plus I know from experience that most 3D printed plastics are kind of
brittle and not good in vibration prone environments.
YMMV.....

I picked them up directly from Speed Bleeders, I think. Possible some from Revzilla. I got them a while ago, but also for other equipment, so it's a bit hazy and I bought from both. Regardless, here's the fitment pdf: https://www.revzilla.com/assets/0003/2034/Speed_Bleeder_Fitting_Chart_11.20.19_alpha_2.pdf
For some reason, the Speed Bleeder website doesn't have this same list. Note that the front calipers use two different lengths. I believe the right caliper uses the longer one. If you Google "Super Tenere Speed Bleeders" you'll end up back on this forum with a post that has the details.

Here is my pic follow up after the install of a Garmin XT with a Wunderlich visor and a MotoPumps locking XT nav mount from a few weeks back.
So far I am very happy with how it all went install wise and how everything works together.
Took me a couple of times to get the wiring nice and tidy:
MotoPumps Garmin XT Locking mount:
(Mounted on a Madstad bracket)
Wunderlich Garmin XT Visor:

The Wunderlich visor does not interfere at all with the lock-in or the take-off of the XT but it is a bit awkward handing the XT with the visor on because of the visor’s shape.
The visor is quite simple to snap on and take off to make mounting the XT easier.
I have my MotoPumps mount where it attaches to the Madstad bracket crossbar a smidge loose so I can slightly rotate it toward the fuel tank that way I can get better access to the locking pin with that unusual rod key.
MFP - thanks for the update I will be ordering the Visor, in the meantime i have also ordered the following to reduce the glair (see picture) I got it today so have no experience with it will advice as soon as I take it out for a ride I will report back ! (See picture)
Regarding the Motopumps bracket:
1) I have the exact same set up: Madstad bracket/shield
2) When I got my GPS (Zumo XT) I found it was too low on the bracket so I reached out to them and they referred me to a plate that takes the GPS up by about 1/2 inch know I can see my flasher lights! (See picture) you have to reach out to them its not on their website if you want one !
3) Regarding the fit of the Motopumps bracket use a piece of black electrical tape in the inner part that surrounds the Madstad bracket this will hopefully solve your twisting of the unit

Please let me know how the anti-glare screen protector works out once you had it on for a while.
Funny that you mention about the height issue with the MotoPumps mount as I encountered the same thing with my GEN1.
Did you reach out to Rob from MotoPumps?
The twisting of the MotoPumps mount is fine as it is tight enough but just a teeny weeny bit loose so I can manhandle it.
I spy a Honda ATC 125 in the corner, is it a '84?
Nice Yammy, a '73 RT3 I think?
Nice Honda CB360, '74/'75?
Those Honda ATCs were hardcore injury inducers on the pavement, don't ask me how I know....

I mounted and balanced a set of tires for my '21 S10 today for an upcoming trip......a Bridgestone BattleWing front tire and a Conti Trail Attack 2 rear tire. Both required minimal balance weight.

1. Installed dash filler panel with USB outlets, relocated my Oxford controller to filler panel, installed ABS defeat switch
2. Installed and wired in LED auxiliary lights, switch on the left bar.
3. Installed and wired in ABS defeat system (uses normally closed relay operated by dash panel switch). Of note, the switch only provides ground to the actuator side of relay...no big 30A power at switch.
All auxiliary power taken from 3-pin accessory plug
...a surprisingly long day

lol, I always underestimate the amount of time it takes me to do things like that, even knowing what the hell I'm doing.
Also, I'm probably going to be removing my ABS defeat at some point in the near future. I can trail drag the rear tire without ABS freaking out, and I've never really found the need to disable ABS on downhills to this point. The ABS system is actually relatively flexible on this bike. Especially now that I have the ECU flashed and everything is responsive/not limited, ABS isn't a limiting factor. YMMV.

Threw on a pair of Michelin Road 6 tires and new rear brake pads. The Road 6 tires seem pretty nice based on a quick 20-mile ride. Definitely not as much vibration compared to the Motoz Tractionator GPS I swapped out. I liked the Motoz tires. Got 10k miles out of the rear, and the front is still usable. Had a heck of a time seating the front tire bead. Tried all kinds of methods (straps, soapy water, windex, and 120 PSI air with and without valvestem valve). I read about Ruglyde and purchased a gallon at NAPA auto. Put it in a spray bottle and gave the bead a good soak. Also, I removed one brake rotor to better access the valvestem. Finally, I removed the valvestem valve and direct-connected to a 125 psi air source. That did the trick!
