Indeed they are. They do 4-way adjustable lowering links too. All available here... http://www.projection-components.co....-parts-1-c.asp

I modified one of the exhaust protectors with 3m di noc to hide scratches from my bike riding of without me on it! still have to do another one and mount them on my bike.
Hope it doesn't melt off but I've checked the temperature after riding and the protectors stayed quite cool.

And my new tail light arrived :)

I bought it on ebay, I think it's the cheapest way to get it. I bought 1 Piece of 122cm x 60cm for around 33 GBP including shipping from Poland to Belgium.

There are four positions to fit them that raise by 5mm, 10mm, 25mm and 40mm, however I fitted them in the +10mm position (120mm hole centres) and then measured the lift at +18mm! :102:

I was actually after 15mm, so all in all I'm happy. :D

I bought the exact same links and fitted them in the highest position. If you got +18 out of the +10 holes, I wonder how much mine was :D
Anyway, feels great to ride now! Waiting on some lower SWMotech pegs before deciding on a +40mm higher seat from off-the-road.de. Being tall is expensive...

hahah! 203 cm last I measured some years ago. The seat should be good doubly so though, not only added height but with the pit being evened out you could scoot back and forth to vary on long rides too

I did try my mates ER6n before he sold it, and THAT was a tiny tiny tiny bike! Once I sat on it I just started laughing, must have looked as ridiculous as it felt.
I honestly had no idea what other bike to get that would fit me before I found the Tenere. Of all the bikes I tried it felt the rightest :p

Does anyone know which dual sport/adventure bike in the 600-900 range is the tallest?

Anyway, back on topic!
Today I fitted a RAM mount for my GPS. After hearing much about this RAM stuff, I must say mostly all of it was true. It does feel really sturdy and high quality. Went out for a drive and had a nasty crash, busted up my ribs, bent brake pedal ++, but the GPS sat firmly in it's place!
