New rear brake pads at 11650 km. The same Brembo pads like stock ones.

Some goodies arrived today, so I worked ever so quietly in the garage after nightshift.

Fit up some quality Aussie made B+B offroad racks and tail tidy with my old Yamaha top box.

Then for some quality tunes a Delkelvic carbon muffler. Sounds awesome, but not obnoxious at all.

I was going to make a link pipe for it to mount it up high like the prototype rally Tenere but it’s quite short and narrow so I’ll see how it goes.

I bought some 3m tape to tubelessify the wheels but waiting on a centre stand before I tackle that.

Adding some parts (adjustable windscreen mount, passenger grab bars, and rear luggage rack) for my trip this week. Should put in around 2-3k miles this week, unfortunately 1200 mils of those are on I-70 from Kansas to Colorado.

Got my 2nd attempt at a high fender installed last night. I am very picky about the aesthetic of front fenders on these bikes, and I think this is a good fit with the lines of the rest of the bike. 
 

As far as fitment, it couldn’t be better. Mounting to the camel high fender kit was a breeze, and the geometry is perfect. Protects the radiator while allowing ventilation, and offers enough coverage to protect the headlight from road spray.

I’m not saying it’s a huge improvement over the looks of the low fender, but I think it looks at least OEM-ish with better clearance for mud, which I’ll take! 

 

 

Ordered it here for those interested:

This is where it all began, 30 years ago - Polisport started building aftermarket parts so that everyone could enjoy their bikes without worry and with even better looks...


Also installed some Overnight-parts-from-GB, thanks for the fast shipping T7Rally.com!! Got the Acerbis frame guards on after noticing that my Alpinestars wore the paint completely off the frame everywhere they touched one muddy ride... there’s a reason parts for these bikes are listed under the “street” section of motorcycle parts websites. If you are going to beat on it, protect it first! Also snagged a chain guide because I still want it to be a dirtbike.

Finally starting to get the stealthier look that I always tend to prefer 👍🏻

Removed a piece I didn’t know I had. I have an arrow titanium can, and only realised after a year, that the db killer was fitted. Removed now and can’t wait for work in the morning. 😁🍺

free noise upgrade. 

it’s like finding another present you didn’t see under the tree on Boxing Day, when you’re five. 😂🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

It wasn't today but I installed a pair of engine guard in the crash bars. Adventure Spec crash bars already comes with a pair of engine guard on the top of It.

Excellent modification.  The bike looks great.  Thanks for posting up the info on the fender.  What did you do for the brake line portion of the show?

In preparation for the enduro I plan to ride on saturday. Tusk dsport tires. A lot better on dirt than the stock tires.

Thanks, Landshark! I already had the Camel High Fender kit installed, I had the Polisport supermoto fender mounted previously but I was not happy with the coverage it offered. The Camel kit is great though!

Got a link for that? I've got a cheap Chinese one, but I like how the handles on that one stick out a bit more.

Fitted some cheap chinese levers (complete with Tenere logo).  Test rode, didn't like them so off they came and into my toolkit for spares.

It was actually yesterday, but I was on an offroad training. Using the bike wat it was designed for. Great stuff. Learned a lot!!!

 

The black one is mine, the ralley verision also got training and the white one was a modified Africa Twin from our instructor. We went up and down the hill in the background in between the trees. Never thought I could do something like that!

With Albert from Adventure Shield i see.
That AT used to be with red and blue but needed some fixes on the tank and fairing.
I did all 3 levels with him, basic with my Crosstourer then the intermediate with the XT660Z and advanced with the T7 (all 3 reported with a blog on my site).

Oke. Installed the bracket that moves the cluster to make room for my navigation. Looks finished.

 

Wile doing so I found damage from a wile back that I never saw.

Headlingt mounting bracket broke. Fixed it first with cementing glue

Than a little of epoxy. (Later part i forgot to take a photo of)

 

Only discovered the headlight as the square nut fell out of its position IMG_20220611_161559.jpg.2d0239383507bc8a8a36668f65c480d1.jpgGOPR0128_57vZv7nvdN6Me_0_1655065073994.JPG.2bb8a48bc9f3a6a6ebd1c8d180970c4a.JPGGOPR0129_7aJNJarNWVzL2_0_1655065073994.JPG.3cda4e4f3fc624b96b85376d81ab22bc.JPG

Installed the G2 throttle tamer, replacing the plastic throttle tube an aluminum one. The change in the cam removes the “on/off” feel of the throttle. I like it a lot! By 2nd gear, the cam is back to stock radius.
