Finally got the B/Busters on and sorted. Little bit of a hassle actually. I found using the Spare part B54 helped with clearance around cables etc and I ended up using one on each side. Also added a couple of amber reflectors for side on visibility.

Looks good mate...
I agree, it is a hassle making everthing fit around b/busters and keeping them at the correct height/angle - especially if you've got the hangers tilted forward. Anyway, you got it done so you won't need those heated grips now...

Sorry, definitely keeping the heated grips, they work a treat.

Installed new sprockets (JT) and chain (DID) today. First time I did it on the Ten with this tool from Rothewald:

works a treat! :023:
The largest spanner I had was only a 24mm and the tool requires a 27mm so I did have to pop out a sec to the shop to get one.

Replaced the side stand spring with a bungee chord.

Not cause I wanted to - but the spring got ripped off and lost and I needed to get home.

bodge job I like it

I charged the battery up as my bike cover blew off at work and some how switched on the heated grips which I currently have wired straight to the battery. about 8hrs of charging and the bike fired up with the nice single mtc can with no baffle sound, few guys from work hadn't a clue what the sound was till they saw me messing round with bike!!!

fitted tutoro chain oiler and left it on.

Doh!

took it for a wee run from Edinburgh to north Berwick via ever coastal road I could find. got completely lost on way back through Edinburgh. Finally got back to flat then washed the bike off all that lovely salt

Manned-up the Tenere Horn

Had to use my horn in anger for the first time in four years the other day and realised just how :gay: it is. So decided I should do something about it…

Found a �7 low tone snail horn (better protected from spray and mud) and fitted it to the existing mount.

Moved the OE (high tone) horn to under the expansion tank. Note: No need for a Touratech horn re-locator, the OE horn bolts straight on to the lower tank mount using the supplied flat bracket you get with any replacement horn (fits perfectly and points sideways rather than down like the TT effort).

Popped a fused relay in (as we’re now drawing 12A) hidden behind the front lower section of the grey plastic tank protector (which is bone dry and a good place for such things when space under the seat starts getting short).

Result. I now have a much more masculine two tone horn, all for less than a tenner!
