Ok, thank you - I'll get in touch with him (had a look at their website last night infact) - I know that if you put a pannier frame on then the rear mudguard doesn't look to bad, but I think it looks a bit weird and vulnerable when the bike is naked - I reckon a tail chop (and built in rear indicators) would find a lot of favour with other owners?
As for my bike, I managed to find a black one in the UK still for sale (they were pretty much sold out here as we only had an allocation of 150 for the year!) I've found a couple of other dealers have one left, but they are all the desert khaki colour - the white/speedblock colourway was most popular here I think, but personally I prefer the black, it looks more subtile and at the same time expensive? The sort of bike BMW should have made?
I plan to do a lot of traveling on it this next year (retiring my XR650R from that duty and keeping that for rallye riding) - I'm going to take the Tenere to the USA (just to make them jealous!) for six months, then, well, who knows...
