That looks really neat... do the clevis pins fit in the existing holes in the rack plate? 8)gunslinger_006 said:First mod since I bought it: SKB top case.
Cost: $60.
Case: SKB 3I-1309-6B-E Mil-Std Waterproof Case
I decided to mount this up using 1/4" clevis pins instead of screws, these clevis pins can be removed/installed with zero tools and they can never vibrate or wiggle loose. The fit is perfect and the case is rock solid. I'm eventually going to mount similar side cases, I just have to figure out the rack options for bolting the cases onto. Once I order it, a thin layer of eva foam will go into the bottom to prevent direct contact with the pins.
Why SKB, instead of Pelican? Just because I wanted a very specific size, and Pelican doesn't make that size, but SKB did. SKB has the same mil-spec ratings and is also made in the USA.

Absolutely. The stock rack and bracket strike me as fit for light use only.tomatocity said:I like it though I would keep an eye on the stock rack and bracket.
So how did you repair it?? ::017::Irishbogman said:Repaired the bottom of the crankcase in my new Tenere, lug supporting the plastic bashplate under the bike burst through the crankcase when I impacted lightly with a low kerb as I dismounted it, very bad design as it protrudes 3/4" or more under the bike making it very vulnerable, very good repair all the same.
Hope you have a good ride Steve!! Tell us all about it when you get time. I didn't even realize there was a NMBDR I'm behind.Gunner said:Just finished getting the Tenere ready for the NMBDR. With 56K miles, it got a complete maintenance treatment; repacked steering head bearings, valve adjustment, new spark plugs, air filter, brake pads and tires, lubed the swing arm, and changed all the fluids.
Ready to roll!
