chain guard is on the 'maybe' list, not near the top mind.

Have you considered the lowering links i just bought a set at 90 quid? they look simple enough to make and after looking at the thread with lowering the tenere i am sure you would do quite well with them.

�90?!?!?! wow, are they covered in gold leaf? Metal Mule do a laser cut, zinc passivated set for �20, for this reason i had decided not to do them as you cant really make them a different design, lowering links aren't exactly the most complex item, and at that price i doubt i can really do much better. where did you get yours from?

thanks for the encouragement btw :)

Heh, your success is being your undoing Pete, your message folder is full. :)

Summarising my message then, I'd love to get one of your anodized black racks if possible.

Thanks,

Alex

Hey Alex, yea sorry about the inbox- i keep making space by deleting sent items, but i'll have to have a proper tidy up in there!

Rack? no problem - i'll let you know when they land, thanks for the interest.

cheers,
Pete.

Got my Links from Hyperpro, I did not think the 20 quid 25mm would lower the bike enough. So i went for the 40mm, bit of a rip off for an extra 15mm. When i got them i was expecting to see something a bit special for that money but no. The 40 mm link is fine maybe once the bike has done a few more miles it will drop a little but i feel safer being able to plant my feet just now and may go back to the originals later.

Fair enough, if thats the height you need then what can you do? i hadn't realised you had wanted to go as low. Maybe there is a market then... for links with more than one setting. :)

I see Off-The-Road are offering a complete lowering kit (-85mm!!!) including a rear shock, front springs, fork oil etc. It's not cheap (around �550 at the current exchange rate) - but I imagine it is worth it (a new rear shock alone is usually that sort of money) if you really want a low-rider Tenere? - they say the seat height is now only 835mm!

Way back last year I offered to make some adjustable links with rose joints but had no takers. Ah well.

I thought i would be better off on the Ten than i was on my WR450 i guess the width of the seat is why i cannot get my feet on the ground. Now i am beginning to feel like i am 2 ft of legs and 3'11 of body. guess i must be an odd shape. LOL oh well at least i still have my humor

not a bad idea - my own experiences with rose joints would put me off tho TBH. i was thinking more of the same sort of setup as standard - flat plates, just with more than one set of holes.


Tom, have to ask - whats the new avatar? if it's one of those magic eye thingys - i can't see 'em, got a bong eye!
