Be interested to hear what you make of the hyperpro springs, I did the forks on my Capo and it improved no end.

Due to personal circumstances I won't discuss here, I had to return back home even before I entered Poland, what a bummer!!! I got to Cottbus, just on the German-Polish border, so I did about 1600km's in two days, mostly highways at 130kmh.
The mods worked out just fine:
-hardly no oil in the tube, although the engine run at 4500-5000rpm(that used to fill the tube), so the new breather works, great!!
-the Hyperpro springs give a much more better handling and even more stable bike(it already was, but now it's even better)especially when it's loaded with luggage, just like I experienced on my former bike, the XT600E, which also had Hyperpro's;
-the other mods were more offroad minded, but since I had to return, I don't have experiences on those, yet.
Greetz from a tired Tenere rider(the bike just kept runnin', smooth and willin'!!), Hans.
