What was the final total $$ rebuild cost ?

:hug[1]:I have finally been able to get the Tenere certified and registered and on the road. It is a nice feeling to have achieved this.

What has it cost me in round figures?
NZ$1500 for the wreck.
NZ$1000 certification and registration
NZ $5500 in new and used parts (including freight) and frame repairs.

I have been able to repair some parts myself and have bypassed some other issues that could have added another $2k in electronics...

It runs good and am looking forward.to having a proper ride on it. I have softened the front fork setting and my softened the rear yet. Previous owner must have been heavier than me.

Thank you to everyone who helped me with parts or knowledge

So ~8000NZ$ in total and you have learned a lot about it in the process. What was the cost of it from new and what is a realistic used price for it now ?

I don't know much about NZ pricing .....

They are around NZ $16000 new. Second hand this year bike is selling for around $11k -$13k so I would imagine that I would get near the lower end of that as it is not pristine clean.

I do feel a lot more comfortable with it mechanically with what I learnt from it. So i think it was a worth while project. :coolsmiley:

There's an unbelievably cheap 2010 for 7.4k in Wellington
But this one's yours and you've rebuilt it yourself.
But yeah their normally 10k upwards

Oh and congratulations on the build

Cheers.

The plus side on mine is that it is a 2013 model and only had about 15000km on the clock. The one in Wellington has 62000km on the clock. So hopefully mines still a better investment:occasion14:

Was out riding it today and loving it:bounce016:

Winter arrived recently, so the days are shorter and darker again. I soon found the Headlights are seriously lacking on high beam. Sitting on my bench was a little xmas grift I got myself which needed a home...

So I made up some brackets to mount it off the fork tow point, but this proved too wide and the pressy kept hitting the fuel tank. Fail. So I modified the brackets and used the front sub frame mounting bolts as the mounting location and I ended up with this:

The two outer LEDs are difussed and the 3 center LEDs are focued. It came with a wiring loom with relay and control switch, so I wired the switch supply to the High beam supply so that I can only use it on Hi, but can still turn it off when riding in towns. What a difference a few more candles make. Ridding at night is a pleasure again and not a scary experience.

Had a ride out around the coutry near home. The weather had been pretty good a couple of weeks ago, but this week is just wet. So reminiscing about fine weather riding...

You can see on the left of the dash board, the push button for the spot light controls.
