thanks for that jenny, for the time being i'm just going to follow your lead. after seeing the cost i think my blue peter skill will be called on again for fabricating more bits

btw. 640 rally wheels, forks, sx triples and nitron shock fitted and tested. just over a week since a donor ex dakar 99' ktm rally was delivered last wednesday for me to use as spares. the lathe at work has hardly cooled down yet!

good luck with the sale of your tenere i never checked have you put it on the heroes forum? for sale, as a new enduro bike now costs more than your bespoke proven machine!
