If it works*, I'll post up some pictures etc.

Bo11ocks... I didn't even need to get the dremil out on the brake side - the problem with the F3 levers is the pivoting section is way too chunky to fit around the switchgear... the dog-leg is just not big enough...

So, I have a nice set of F3 levers that will fit a quad (with no left-hand switchgear)... great...

(Actually, they will fit on my XR with a different knuckle on the brake side, fingers crossed they'll send me that part...)

But as far as the Tenere is concerned, it's back to the drawing board (and the Yamaha dealer) for some 'road' orientated levers - I think the best bet is an FZ1 clutch perch and some levers for that as stromtrooper says...
