20,000kms on my Tenere cont
Rotopax fuel Cells
I just purchased a set of Rotopax for my bike to extend the fuel range to around 600 kms or more in the right conditions. I decided on the Rotopax after looking at bladders etc but didn't like the fact that any extra fuel would need to be carried high and more than likely on the rear rack. The Rotopax lets the fuel be carried lower. With the packs fitted my Wolfman soft panniers just fit around the outside but more on the Wolfman soft panniers later.
The Rotopax come in all different sizes for fuel including 3.8L, 7.6l and 11.4L. I bought the 3.8s as that will give me a total of 31 to 32 litres of fuel on the bike. The beauty of the packs is I don't need to fill them and don�t have to ride around a big tank all the other time. The packs do move my bags out around 10cm which I can't see being a problem as the bags are narrower then the Andys I had before.
The pax are mounted on a locking mechanism that attaches to an alloy plate that is attached to the racks
Plate attached to the racks
The locking mechanism bolted to the plate with two bolts, easily removed when the pax aren't required

Barkbuster Bar End WeightsI purchased a set of Barkbuster bar end weights as when the barkbusters were fitted the factory bar end weights need to be removed. Being that it is a large single there is an element of vibration and I had suffered pins and needles in my fingers more than once during long stints in the saddle. Since fitting the Barkbuster weights I can�t remember it having happened since.
The kit, different length bolts for different bikes
The bar end weights
The factory weight
Fitted on the bike, nice and stream lined
Price can�t remember or find the invoice sorry
Rating good very good never had pins and needles since 9/10
