Finally! Season -10 has commenced. Took the enduro studs for a test ride, and they were excellent on the ice and snow. Will be an awesome winter! :thumbsup:

Tried them on the main road where the cars have kept the tarmac visible and the handling was spooky, but I didn't get these tires for commuting. Next week we will make a trip out to an island over the frozen sea outside Lule�, pics will follow. =)

Was to excited to take any pics from the test ride, but this is the lady with the high heels on:

Locking the front is fine - just remember to let go off the lever quickly.

As for the studded tyres - very cool!

Nice spikes there MOLGAN, you could pick up your next meal while riding :081:

OK Guys I got to putting a power socket on my tenere, I wanted something separate from the wire behind the head light as that i want to keep purely for a the GPS. This power socket is aimed at running an LED night light for camping out or even recharging other gismo's while riding

Here is where i ran the wires starting from the battery, complete with mini blade fuse.

Arround the under the tank.

Through here.

Then up under the tank along this oil pipe, I did intend to shrink wrap the whole length of the 2 wires but didn't have enough shrinky, and couldn't be stuffed to go out and get more.

Then poked out here near the tripple clamps

Then zip tied along the head mout bracket

The socket and rocker switch, i wanted the abilty to isolate the power for what ever reasons i couldn't think of.

Took this piece out to carefully cut out the holes, a bit time consuming but ya gotta to get the sizes precise.

Wired up, but i later ran a wire to light up the little LED in the switch. it goes from the blade on the switch that has red shrinky on it - to the outer casing blade on the socket.

All done

When the LED lights up the power is on

Nice button :D

Isn't it hard to remove the casing once all the electrics are wired thru?

hi regie308
 

regie308

:SpinHappy_15XK8L:

Good pictures and wrte up !

I installed a Halfords DIN socket myself there last w-e.
I've not wired it up yet.

I had to glue the male plug together as the screw cap thread was damaged, but now it's watertight :)

the switch is an excellent idea. I shall add it to my list :)

I have used spade terminals that slip on/off so they can be removed and replaced at any time, and they are very secure.

Sunny, no wind, -10 Celsius, perfect weather for a Sunday drive.

Some reindeers kept me company out on the ice, have no idea what they were eating since the only thing that's under the snow is the frozen sea:

Did some racing on the ice roads close to town, excuse the ugly back drop:

Met this pretty lady out on the ice:

Followed her to a cabin where I had coffee and a sandwich together with some other bikers:

Finally the sun started to disappear and it was time to head back home:

On the way home I assisted in rescuing a car that had ended up out in the snow for some reason:
