It look�s like the original WR400 fender.

I feel like the prophet of doom these days..... but I do have a couple of questions;

* The WR400 is a bike of around 115Kg's the Tenere is around 210Kg's so that's quite a difference, what changes have you made to the compression and dampening on the WR forks ?

* With an extra 90mm of front travel, how close does the wheel come to the bike? (exhaust/rad/horn etc) and under full braking, is the bike still stable (doesn't try to end-over-end) ?

* The front mud guard looks very high at the front, in my experience when the leading edge is higher than the trailing edge the mudguard catches the air , kinda like a sail, and can make the bike handling like a real pig (I tried it with a TTR front mud guard on the tenere, a blue one looked awfull and the bike handled like a pig at speed!).

* What was the purpose of the change? did you have a specific goal, or reason for doing the work? Just for the pure hell of it? or something else?

Hmmm, nice job, but..... why not buy a WR in the first place if ya want an offroad bike? Why transform a Tenere into something it isn't? Yeah I know, 'cause ya can. But ya can better get a WR on the side and use the Tenere for what it is meant for: allroad ridin' and travels. But hey, everybody gotta do whatever he/she likes to do!

Yeah, but the brickwork doesn't seem entirely right though :002:

The Mudguard i fitted was a Polisport WR400 replacement. I had to fit it with the tow loop up side down with two nuts as spacers at the back to stop the back end snagging on the rad. No problems overheating. I took it out for some slow off rd technical riding and the fan didnt even kick in.
