    Folks, here is the summary picture of the evolution of my Tenere :cheer:

    I added Barkbuster VPS hand guards; Givi E55 Top case, SW Motech main stand and crash bars and Solstice 10W led driving lights. I then added SW Motech quick release luggage racks and Givi TRK33N side cases. I fitted a full Teknik suspension, higher screen and front fender.

    It’s nearly done, just waiting for my Pivot Pegs and Ralle-Moto damper to arrive, then my family will see me re emerge from the garage :laugh:

    You can see the full list of mods here:

    Yeah nice work there TT, we will have to catch up for a ride soon. I will have some one 400km runs coming up before Camerons as I try and ride Gaz (Owl 02) and Krusty into some form of bike fitness :laugh: :P

    Very very nice TT, you’ve done a great job !!

    Is their much weight in the top box and panniers , I’ve never picked up a set before and I only know Tryhard with hard cases. I know a lot of guys swear by them.

    Look forward to catching up for a ride one day !!

    Hi Nickj,

    the Givi side cases weigh in at 5.2 kg each and the top box at 4.8 kg. What I like about them is that they are water and dust proof and best of all, everything (including the SW mounting brackets) can be removed in under a minute (if you have the keys) :woohoo:

    The cases are particularly great when you go away for longer trips where you can simply remove them and carry them like a suitcase when you get to stay in civilization (like a hotel or motel for instance).

    I also like that I can lock rider and pillion riding gear in it if we get to go exploring by foot on shorter trips (and the chief helmet tapper also likes that she can add shopping trinkets obtained from these on foot explorations).

    I am looking forward to catching up with you and TB at some stage ;)

    Cheers, TT
