Sump Guard and Mud Guard
 

Hi All,

Just some pics of my new sump guard and Mudguard I've fitted. Sump guard from Israel �111 + �23 customs :( ,mudguard �15 ebay.:hello2:
Let me know what you think.

Looks good.
I saw that sump guard on E-bay (which is funny, since the location written in there is about 15 minutes ride from my home), but decided not to buy it as it doesn't look like it protects the water pump.
The mud guard is nice.

How is the ride the the mud guard?
I'm thinking about adding one, but I'm worried about the effect that it might have on road handling.

What does the new engine guard fix to ?

It looks like it used the same front mounting points as the ABS one ??

And what about the rear ?

Did you paint it, or did it come in black ?

The high mudguard looks good, I think - it's difficult to tell, could we have a picture in the daylight ??

Was it s a straighforward replacement ? any 'adjusting' needed??

Questions questions questions.....

Regarding 'on road racing' I can add an example of the big mud guard by Touratech. Maybe you can get an imagination of the ground clearance even with a wide bash plate.

Right around with water pump protection, the first thing which hits the ground will be your foot or footpeg.

Just an other picture to show how big the TT bash plate is.

Left around the OEM center stand hits the ground first. I don't like something like that.

Nevertheless that black mud guard shown first looks very nice. Only to use the original M6 mounting points may be a disadvantage. Separate brackets fit directly to the frame could be a more reliable solution.

Great photos :eusa_clap:
Though I was refereeing to the high-fender. :003:

Superb photos! Never thought a Ten on semi knobbly tyres (or any tyres for that matter) could lean over so far...

Yeah - they rock, even on squared off TKC80s...

Ah, JMo you're using those squared off Conti's as an excuse - you've still a couple of inches to go before you get to hombacher's lean angle ;-)
In all seriousness, on all the road bikes i've had there's been no issue with big lean, guess a road bike and road tyres give so much more confidence and feedback; with the Ten on its siracs i find that all's well up to a point and then it feels like the whole thing wants to 'flop' over..
My next tyres will probably be Avon distanzia, they're apparently 90% road/10% off road according to the blurb so perhaps then i'll be grinding my undercarriage :icon_biggrin:

I believe that there are specialist websites for those whose interests lie in that department :icon_lol:

Yes, and i frequent them often but thats enough about my personal life :-o
Seriously tho, the Tenere is a danm fine m'cycle. My work buddy's with their zzr1400's, daytonas, gsxr600 and cbf's take the piss out of me with my 2 wheeled combine harvester on a regular basis but who is it who uses their bike ALL the time, come rain or shine??
I rest my case...
Its a nice bit of kit no doubt about that.

Hi, it should protect the water pump, weather it would withstand a heavy fall or not I don't know but seems pretty sturdy.
The mudguard doesn't seem to effect the ride so far but I will let you know how I get on. For �15 though thought it wouldn't harm trying. A lot cheaper than TT or off the road!

Hi,
The engine guard fits straight onto the front mounting points and fits onto the rear mounting points that are a bit further back. Went straight on. It came in Annodised black. Pretty pleased with it though and should hopefully save the water pump too.

I had to tinker a bit with the front fender. I basically took a chance and bought a standard Poliosport YZ Front Fender. I had to leave the tow hook on except i turned it upside down, drilled the holes in the fender a bit so I could move it forward a tad and then finally took the washers off the radiator bolts and replaced with rubber ones to give me another mm or two clearance and that was it. Sounds like a bit of a faff but was not too bad and I can still put it back to normal again! I will post some better picks when I get the chance.

Just need some Knobblies now!
Cheers

Adam

I will post some

Another option would be the Polisport KTM Supermoto shape front mudguard (the one you'd fit on an EXC if you were running 17 inch wheels)... I have one of these and have offered it up, and it looks like it would fit without modification, other than making sure the bolt holes (you need to drill them as they are not pre-drilled) are positioned with the fender forward rather than aft... it would be snug to radiator, but I think you'll be ok...

As for handling, I'd agree with Adam... I can't see how a high mudguard is going to have any real effect on a 180Kg bike... give it a go?

I fitted some engine bars a few years ago, but now madeup a sump guard made out of a shovel (with a few brackets) - got the idea years ago when I thought the sump guard on my Bultaco looked like a shovel, works a treat.
