Tart Parts...
Bike Candy, Trinketry, Farkles, call them what you will...
Having spent far too much time on ADV rider while I've been here, I thought it might be an idea to start a thread to show our favorite bits of bike candy and/or utter waste of money... OK, so I really just wanted an excuse to show off my latest modification (now my big trip is essentially over, I thought I'd treat the Tenere to some trinketry) - but it is also tenuously helpful for anyone looking to fit replacement levers on the Tenere: These are the C5 Sport (streetbike) levers, rather than the off-road specific ones... the brake lever is the FZ1/FZ6 04-08 version, and directly fits the Tenere master cylinder. ASV pn. BRC541 (-S if you want the shorty version like this) http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/DSC00358.jpg The clutch lever is the same as the Suzuki GSXR 600/750 from 97-05 (also the V-Strom DL650 04-07 or the SV650 99-06) and fits the stock Tenere perch - yea! ASV pn. CRC530 (-S if you want the shorty version like this) http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/DSC00359.jpg They are meant to be unbreakable (this version has a 5-year guarantee) and certainly bend in a crash, although not as far round as their off-road specific F3 levers... http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/DSC00360.jpg They also come in a right fancy box... mmmmmmmm! http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/r...x/DSC00357.jpg Like I say, a totally expensive and unnecessary (perhaps?) addition, but make the bike feel like a million dollars! xxx |
Oh i do like to come in a fancy box!:drool[1]:
|
oooh, nice :)
price? |
That's almost as rude as asking my age or my weight... and sadly the numbers are almost the same...

Very pretty !
They are 75 quid a pop from Busters: http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk...RC510SG&kw=asv Nick. |

Fitted those to my new sports bike, as ever black levers with gold adjusters.... Nice WB |
Nice levers JMo, I'm considering sawing mine and filing the edges round.
My latest fancy part was having the seat re-foamed and re-covered. Oh and continuing the DIY aspect of my Ten I made a camera mount so I can take pictures/video on the road. Still not made the front rack though...but if I have time I'll be fitting some Firestorm micron silencers to it, possibly with one as a tool tube ;) |

In fact ironically (bearing in mind they are made in the bloody USA) that is about �30 a pair cheaper than I paid here... Still, my ProTaper bars and clamps were correspondingly less (dollars for pounds) so it all evens out I guess... xxx |
