What a great post!
THanks for taking the time.

Just got a tenere and during the next months I will be on the process of upgrading it to what I will (or think I will ) need for a trip next year.

Looks like you really took the dirt route in your trip! I have read about a few preparations on the Tenere, but this is one of the few that actually says about the final results/opinion after testing on the field.
Definitely this post is a good reference when deciding about upgrades.

- How did the Zega panniers take the beat? I read that soft panniers are better for the kind of trip you are doing?
- About the seat, is that a commercial gel seat modified? or a custommade one?


Cheers!
