Oh yeah. That'll look spanking. I'm a sucker for a red frame.

I've had my Tenere 700 in for yearly service today and had new springs front and rear as well as some pre-load adjustable fork caps from Rally Raid. The rider sag is now just about spot on and the front end doesn't dive like a premier league player when the front brakes are deployed.

Call me Aladdin cos it's a magic carpet ride for me now

Stay safe everyone

The low budget update continued.

While waiting for a long term solution for some luggage capability,
I made a temporary solution.
I bought a set of Chinese bags form Wish. For 50 € the pair incl shipping
It will do for now to bring coffee and sandwiches on the tour-


Or to bring home a box of ice creams from the store.
(Since it is a Brazilian made bike. There is no frame for panniers of the shelf that fits.
I plan to by some thing from Brazil.
My own workshop is closet down, since I sold the house.

But my button is treated well.
I moved the Air Hawk Seat from my Super Sport Tourer.
So no cost there

Is that a GTR1400 ? What a touring weapon that is...

Frame looks great, Banana. You didn't fancy giving the engine a lick of paint before it went back in?

Thanks Dave. I thought that i would wait until i've fired it up before i spend any more money on it. I've rebuilt it from the crankshaft up and it might be a pile o'$hite.

Wow, big job. It'll be so good when it's done. I did something similar to a GS1000 many many moons ago. Turned it into a kind of Yoshi endurance race replica. Loved it. Red frame, silver bodywork.
