2 into 1 MTC exhaust - got LeoVinces
DRC anato tail tidy - not yet
WR400 side panels - not
High front fender (ive found these on racespec.co.uk but not sure what type I need) - no need (even in mud no problem)
Remould seat - got a Kahedo high seat: a flat seat will enable you to move around and shift your weight better
Pivot/bigger pegs - got pivotpegs
AUX HID lighting kit - got Xenon in low and high beam + double light mod
Renthal/protaper bars - got Magura tapered bar
Barkbuster/similar handguards (it currently has yamaha ones on it) - got Acerbis
New springs and oil in front forks - got Hyperpro front + complete Hyperpro rear shock
TKC80s or back to the tourances - on TKC80 at the moment but prefer T63
Fix rectifier (has this been rectified on the 09 models?) - never needed it (even though it's a 2008 model)

- do the Kev-mod to get the most of your inlet/exhaust mod's

- exhaust

- brake snake to prevent the brake pedal folding up
- 47T rear sprocket

- Michelin T63 will perform better in mud then TKC80

With all these mod's your Tenere will be a very capable adventure bike!

Cheers HJ some good alternatives there.

As for the high front fender, i want one not from a practical point of veiw, pure and simply because the only part of the bike i dont like the styling of is the low fender.

Still unsure of what make/model to use. Have folks found most fenders will fit with minor cutting?

I know a few folks have fitted the wr400 side pannels, how did you find fitting them? Much cutting needed?

hi, i've been using this type for the last 2 years, works well, even in the desert, no problem with overheating, the angular shape suits the tenere well! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-UFO-KT...item41498e6873

as it's an '08 have you checked has it the '09 modified oil breather?

+1 on the t63's. great tyre

i'm with uber- less bling! more practical stuff!

oh yeah, all the best with your new ride! consider also a chain guide!

Springs wise im looking at hyperpro replacements to go in the standard forks and something along the lines of an ohlins on the rear! For amature enduro spring wise, what am I realistically looking at? Are the standard springs good enough?

As for the modified breather im not sure what your on about. The bike is an 09 model on an 08 plate, not sure how that one works out lol

You mean, an 08 bike on a 09 plate. They only made the racing gold for 08, itsthe most original colour.

I have oiled foam in mine now with the side back on the air box..When I took my DNAs out to clean them the air box on the engine side of the filters was full of dust... Have lost a bit of power with the oiled foam.... but now theres no grinding paste going though it... Chose yer filters for the terrain yer ride in..DNAs would be great in a XTX...

Figured it out now, the bike is an 08 model but it was registered in the latter part of the reg year I.e feb 09 so its on a 58 plate, thats were the 2008/2009 confusion is coming from.

So first mod for definate is a seat remould, being a tall chap i just dont have enough movement in the standard seat. Has anybody got anyone they can recomend?

Then it will be stage 1 DNA, kev fuel mod and zorst followed by springs.

But shhhh dont tell the credit card or the missus! Haha

... but he's in holland. Excellent stuff though. Hand made to your specification.
... expensive also. About as much as a Kahedo

Having seen Stoic at the weekend, I was just going to suggest the KTM one on his bike, but I see he already has!

As for the side panels - I think you mean the (Honda) XR400 ones, rather than a WR?

They are very east to fit - the lower hole lines up with the upper pillion footrest bolt, and the upper hole you need to use a spring clip with a captive nut on the flat plate/brace on the subframe (you'll see where I mean when you offer the panel up)... then just cut a slot/trim around where the rear grab handles sit:

Have fun!
