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)
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)
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...
They also come in a right fancy box... mmmmmmmm!
Like I say, a totally expensive and unnecessary (perhaps?) addition, but make the bike feel like a million dollars!
