tenere 660 handlebar and riser choice

[michaelMember]

I would appreciate reports and opinions on others choices of handlebar and risers on there genera 660z I currently run standard bars with 25mm risers thinking of changing out to something higher and stronger. The other issue is do all barkbusters fit all bars???

Not sure, but have heard risers could aversively affect handling capabilities .
Mabey higher rise bars.

Mick-D as it so happens I am setting one up for a guy right now. Tomorrow I will be back at the RideADV workshop (across from the pole dancing studio I may add :woohoo: ) I will take some pics for you mate. If you want as you live in the Sydney area we maybe able to do yours as well. I am experienced at drilling the steering lock shear bolts.

Photos tomorrow evening

Here Mick

Rally Moto 2 made by MSC Australia my opinion 7/10

This damper is an under bar style using the standard bar mounts. The damper requires bar raisers to clear the damper unit. They do supply bar raisers for standard 7/8 inch diameter bars. If you want to fit fat bars like I did on this bike I purchased a set of standard to fat bar raisers from Ballards. (the black parts in the photos)

Another option is a Scott damper with a mount kit from Off The Road Germany. I have fitted these for one of Steve’s bikes and a customers bike before. They are an under bar mount, with a bolt on bar mount that goes on top of the standard triple clamp when the standard bar mounts are removed. My opinion 6/10

You can also purchase these through Adventure Moto in the future with a much better mount system.

Lastly the Rally Moto Steering damper, the best in my opinion. Solid under bar mount great fat bar mount

Sadly you cant buy these anymore, its the one I run

How to fit a steering damper on a Tenere here please BTW you need only drill the heads of the steering lock sheer bolts, then lift the lock off. Once off use vice grips to wind the studs out. You need to remove the sheer bolts for all Tenere steering dampers to the best of my knowledge

thank you so much for you detailed info TB brilliant work.. my reason for my enquire is after a small off i destroyed speedo, sw motech crash bars, handelbars bent enough to annoy the crap out of me. water pump cover and radiator hose. i realigned forks and front wheel and removed and inspected bar risers in the hope they had just moved but its definately bent bars, so its time to give the cockpit a make over.

No You can do it in place, problem is the metal shavings go down under the tank
