G’day Nathan, A mate of mine lives out off the Blackville road near where you are. Has a xr and also a big Kato 990 Adventure. Has many mates that do some wild trails up your way. The more the merrier I think.

Thanks Pete. Please let me know how you go mate, as I will ride down and check it out. Sick of getting of the bike like a half shut pocket knife crouched behind the current screen. I am using a RJays Dakar helmet which I have no complaints about apart from really windy days

Sent my Tenere to Jenny Craig and it came back heaps lighter with Akrapovic pipes on it…much better.

G’day Jim, I have the Yamaha alloy bash plate and the lower engine bars on my 09 Tenere. I think you have to delete the lower engine bars if you want to fit the Motech crash bars as far as I can gather. I kinda like the protection the lower bars give to the engine though. Its a bit of a toss up mate. Turning 52 next year so I need all the protection I can get

Forgot to add I’m 6’2 and it is a little tiresome dipping the head outa the wind over numerous kays if you dont have to mate.

Thanks Pete, I am looking at a little more cover from the breeze and elements on the longer road legs. I have been checking out various web sites, but there is nothing like a recommendation from someone that has tried these different screens. Nothing worse than forking out dollars and then being disappointed in the result Any info is much appreciated. Thats the beauty of being a member of this website. Darryl.

G’day Jim, I have just joined this site and also ride a Tenere. Live in the Newcastle area. Sounds like a meeting may have to be on the cards soon to yap about all things Tenere. I havent had mine that long either but getting used to it quickly. Dirthopper.

[DarrylMember]

[DarrylMember]

No probs mate. Shall see if I can tag along in the near future. Shall look forward to that

[DarrylMember]

Tamworth ey Bol!….not a bad spot…I have a mate who rides a Kato 990 adventure and lives west of Willow Tree.

[DarrylMember]

Yep!!…no doubt I will bump into you guys somewhere Eagle on the track…. as they are all the places I visit off and on mate. …not often enough though!

[DarrylMember]

Thanks Bol. Are you close by to Newcastle yourself mate?

[DarrylMember]
