Right, so heated grips and the provision for other accessories has been installed on a switched live relay!

I'll be installing my front 12v socket just as soon as I get a hole cutter drill bit the right size :)

I also got bored and decided to paint my side panels. Oh and I sold that Givi screen to a lovely chap on here and my very kind friend Nick gave me his old (and slightly cut down) puig so my bark busters no longer hit the screen!

I've also pointed my levers down quite a bit to assist with standup riding.

I'm considering spraying the bike white/red just because I think tenere's done in those colours look the dogs doodads. Going to get my pannier rack etc. powder coated soon as it's showing a little rust and although I've painted over the rust with Hammerite I think it could do with a proper job. It's that or tractor paint!

Planning to get some ADV lights for the front soon and perhaps fit a Touratech seat or something as the one thats on the bike causes me an issue when going between standing and sitting with my gentlemen rocks :P Might try and attempt to make my own, I'm not bad at cutting foam!

Until next time.

Looking good! , and yes, the red/white scheme looks particularly good on the Tenere. Steve

Nice mate. Funny how we always end up wanting another colour. It was the blue ones that first got my attention, then I watched a black one come & go from my local bike shop before I was in a position to by one. Gutted. I even considered a DR 650 to scratch the itch as they are half the price. Nearly bought a brown one from Western Australia but transport costs negated any saving there. So after 18 odd months of the white Tenere keep winking at me every time I went past the bike shop I eventually caved in. To start with white was my least favorite, but now found it a very easy colour to live with & look after. After riding it, it could be pink with purple spots & I'd be just as happy !!
