So with the collectiin of my bike looming I just can't hold it in any more. Ive decided to make a post to discuss and follow my planned mods.

Idea is over the next year or so to creat a amature big ralle bike and break into the world of enduro!

So planned mods are:
Stage 1/2 DNA filters - got stage 2
2 into 1 MTC exhaust - got LeoVinces
DRC anato tail tidy - not yet
WR400 side panels - not
High front fender (ive found these on racespec.co.uk but not sure what type I need) - no need (even in mud no problem)
Remould seat - got a Kahedo high seat: a flat seat will enable you to move around and shift your weight better
Pivot/bigger pegs - got pivotpegs
AUX HID lighting kit - got Xenon in low and high beam + double light mod
Renthal/protaper bars - got Magura tapered bar
Barkbuster/similar handguards (it currently has yamaha ones on it) - got Acerbis Multiplo
New springs and oil in front forks - got Hyperpro front + complete Hyperpro rear shock
TKC80s or back to the tourances - on TKC80 at the moment but prefer T63
Fix rectifier (has this been rectified on the 09 models?) - never needed it (even though it's a 2008 model)

And that for now is about it.

First jobs on the list are the high fender! Ive found some made by polisport but not sure what model to use, any ideas?

What do folks suggest doing first.....exhaust or DNA filters?
- exhaust

Quote:
Any other things that ive over looked with regards to the filters and zorsts?
- do the Kev-mod to get the most of your inlet/exhaust mod's
- brake snake to prevent the brake pedal folding up
- 47T rear sprocket
- Off-the-Road bash plate: more protection down under

Quote:
Looking forward to the lakes now and being able to get it mucky (or wet as it usually turns out)
- Michelin T63 will perform better in mud then TKC80

With all these mod's your Tenere will be a very capable adventure bike!
