20,000kms on my Tenere cont
Wolfman Bags. I had Andy Strapz bags for the first 10,000kms and liked them and still do, I think they are a great product. That said I always wanted water proof bags, not water resistant but 100% water proof (they are I can vouch personally as I have submersed them and the bike completely for a good 30 seconds) The only other thing that I didn�t like about the Andys was that no matter how many straps you used (normally 3 a bag for me) they always flapped around and looked like they were falling off, they never did but still looked scrappy in my opinion. The Andys hold more and I was worried about the carrying capacity but everything fitted on the unsupported High Country 3 states ride with room to spare.
The Andys
The new Wolfman Bags
They sit so well they never move, they are easy to fit and remove see video below

Price under $300, comes in a set with the Barrett racks to suit the bags from Adventure Moto for under $600
Rating 10 out of 10 as they tick the boxes for me the Andys didn�t, that said the Andys are a good thing and locally made which is always something for me but not thins time.
RallyMoto Steering Damper (rebadged MSC)
Previous damper fitted was a WER as stated in the 10,000km write up the damper never suited the heavier bike
The damper has transformed the bike and made it very good in the sand and saves those moments when you clip the edge of a rolling rock
How to fit covered in the DIY section at Old Bull Trailriders and here in this thread
Price $795 from Adventure Moto, you will get an OBT discount on that price as well
Rating 8.5 out of 10 no higher cause it�s a ******* to fit seriously MSC dampers are good kit and Australian made
Frame protectors from Touretech
Price dearer than they are worth but do a good job on protecting the paint I guess. Sorry really cant remember the price
I got a centre stand from off-the-road in Germany, mainly to make garage maintenance easy but also for road side tyre repairs.
The stand is made by sw motech
It only took 20 minutes and 2 rums to fit , easy as !
Cheap and a good thing. The spring seems strong enough to stop from bouncing when landing windrows etc. I do cable tie it as well on the left side to be sure
Water pump protector from off-the-road in Germany
Cheap and between the crash bars, the bash plate and this the pump should be protected
High Front Guard
I purchased a new High front guard (same as Nickj�s) and fitted it as the original one I tried (see the 10k write up) didn�t work, no fault of the guard it was that I picked the wrong guard
New guard
Price under $40
Rating?? Haven�t used it yet
