Update
 

Sorry to have gone a bit quiet on this lately folks, new bits and bobs and injuries getting in the way !

Anyway, the next batch of 20 are waiting to anodised, this should be done early in the coming week, so i expect to have them towards the back end of the coming week or early the week after. I will keep you posted.


Just been looking back through the thread, and i've noticed that i've missed an important bit of info out regarding the spec of the rack - the rack itself is manufactured from 5251 (N4) grade aluminium. This is much tougher than run-of-the-mill 1050, but remains workable. This is why the rack is so stiff despite being only 4mm thick. Thought it was worth mentioning.:)



I've updated my original post to include this info.

They are strong indeed - I needed to make use of a large Givi top case on my bike recently, simply bolted a spare Givi top case rack to Pete's superb luggage rack and away I went. Best of both worlds!

cheers
Pete

p.s. wishlist noted

Pete,
had a good read through all the posts and clearly you've produced a quality product with the rack. Great effort!! Unfortunately, I paid out for the TT large rack and although the quality is good I really wish I had waited for yours. They are a complete shower of sh*te and couldn't organise a p*ss up in the obvious place!

Anyway, I'd be interested in the other items mentioned and hopefully you'll find the time to get them together. One thing's for sure, TT ain't getting a penny more from me!!

P.S. I've got a set of footrest adaptors from TT but cannot bring myself to shell out for the larger footpegs (how much!!)......don't suppose you fancy making some of those too??

cheers

Skippy/Lairyboy (how many nicknames you got man?)

thanks for the comments :)

other items are in the pipeline -proving to be a long pipe tho. watch this space.


re footpegs, hmm probably not to be honest, not at the moment anyway. never say never tho.

Pete.

How about some 'Desert Specials'




Though I confess - I have an interest .....:hidesbehindsofa[1]:

I can recommend the IMS superstock footpegs (have those on my bike now) - if you get the version for YZ80/ WR200/250 90-97 (that is pn.23-9307 according to Thumpertalk: http://shop.thumpertalk.com) they fit straight on the Tenere...

They ship to the UK no problem, although you might be able to get them from a UK supplier too of course...

Pete - its not the double nickname I'm worried about but all the other things my 'mates' call me........not for repeating here! And I'll certainly be keeping an eye on your product line.

JMo - thanks for the tip on the footpegs, I'll have a look straightaway - I'm at work so what do I care!!

Pete

How about a nice alloy chain and front sproket guard. I like the racks i will be in touch about one of them soon. Have you considdered 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. Good luck and keep up the great work
