steveD is on a distinguished road
Got the Tenere back this morning and went to work on it. Got all the bits as promised but he took the crash bars back as they were the only ones that he had and wants them for jigging / production, gots some pics though. Went riding after work and got back late so sorry no pics in daylight yet. Panniers are fantastic and you don't know that they are there. Tall screen takes a while to get used to but certainly keeps the wind off, must be 100mm taller!
Big bonus is the lowering link and I can get the balls of my feet on the ground now, will drop the forks through parhaps 20mm and check the difference. Bash plate is the donkeys, radiator grille looks the biz, hugger a bit flimsy but works OK. Pannier frames also include a rear rack and are superb quality as is the front light cover. Allin all I'm very pleased with the gear and will test it this weekend. Setting off tomorrow afternoon and will get some pics to post as soon as. Yes I hope to go to Dartoor as Paul from Metal Mule will be there and hopes to have a production crash bar set for me and I hope to meet up with some mates as well as XT owners!
