The AGV AX8 Dual looks cool. Will try it out someday, hope it fits.
I will do alot pictures, cause im a hobbie photographer. But must wait til its more beautiful outside :)

Today I installed Polisport high fender that I got with the bike but previous owner never installed it. I was bored and curious to see it on my bike.
At first I used pieces of hose, but rubber is squishy and didn't work well.
Then used some plastic pipe with thin aluminium inside. Rear ones were about 1.8cm long and front ones I didn't measure. Will go try how it works in the muddy roads this weekend.

Today I went for some offroad to test out new fender... it looks cool... but... BUT... all the dirt jumps on my fuel tank that didn�t happen with original fender. Don't like it like this. So I reinstalled original.

Also the tires are too worn for offroading. No grip at all in wet forest and front tire wants to slide away all the time. Wont talk about the rear... New E09 rear should arrive next week. For front I will go Mitas C17 or some slightly used dirt knobbie that don't cost much. Would like to get Mitas C23 but can't get it anywhere..
Anyway got stuck today in the ditch... crash bars are amazing cause I pulled my Tenere out of that ditch backwards with left hand on crashbars and right at the rear handlebars. Time spent in the ditch: around 15 minutes.

Also got new Mitas C17 front and E09 rear. Much better offroad now. Didn't notice any handling problems on tarmac either.

Filmed myself with digital camera.
Cool to see how the bike handles and to look myself riding in 3rd person :)

Also did over 100km offroad ride with 7KTM's. I was like a sheep in a pack of wolves. Pretty hard to keep up with them sometimes cause they are lighter and better dampers. Even the 1190 adventure didnt have any traction problems but its totally different bike aswell.
