Firstly, good luck and keep us posted on how you do. And photos, don't forget the photos.

Secondly,

I had a look on the Touratech site for these, as I need a set of roadbook/trip buttons. I don't think I'll be spending that much though! The buttons are more than I spent on my roadbook and trip meter!

got it second hand: �35,- .... cheap roadbook then ;)

Get some R&G Engine protectors too.

No worries; it's been tested thouroughly

... and it doesn't show my 'moments' on rocky Maroccan pistes...it is indeed a very tough bike!

I don't speak Dutch, but somehow "sloot water" doesn't need any translation :D

(also amusingly, if you type that as one word, the forum censors the tw*t out of the middle)

@Captmoto: Has anyone actually managed to crack a Tenere tank? I can't remember seeing any mention on here of anyone doing so.

It's pretty well protected in a crash - the grey side panels and the bar ends touch down first. I've crashed mine countless times, as well as dropping the tank onto a concrete floor from about a metre in the air while working on the bike.

Bike looks grand single_minded, have fun!

UT, I believe one of our antipodean brethren cracked a tank by using it and a car as a brake.
I can certainly vouch for impact and abrasion resistance on the tank. They are injection moulded nylon.
