Making it mine...

Hi everyone - just paid my deposit on an new 660Z and pick it up next week...

Having been a long time Honda fan, I must say, when I saw the new Tenere in the flesh I was totally sold - it seems to offer everything I've been looking for in a do-it-all dual sport touring bike... and for once, there is not much I want to change...

However, there are a couple of mods I'd like to do, and I have had a trawl around the forum without finding any definitive answers so far...

1) There is a thread saying WR footpegs will fit the XTZ - Has anyone done this yet? Do they mean from the previous (steel frame) WRF's or are they the same as the current aluminium frame WRF's?

2) Side stand cut-out switch bypass. I'm presuming this bike has a tedious side-stand cut out switch? Is this likely to cause problems (as it can with a DRZ for example). I'd rather disconnect it anyway - does anyone know the right way to do this, or is there a bypass kit that avoids cutting any wires?

3) Found a thread regarding wiring up a GPS - goodo!

4) Rear lights - has anyone considered fitting orange LEDs inside the rear light lens to act as indicators? I don't suppose there is a kit available (yet?) You could then removed the rear mudguard extension piece and tidy up the rear end - making it less vulnerable to damage off road?

Other than that, it seems pretty damn perfect out of the crate - I can't wait!

All advise/pointers gratefully received!
