Pleiades,
the trip was done 31 December four days after I got the bike. No XT600E front mudguard then. I took 390km tar trip to buy that and paid a price- on a regional farm tar road that was really dirt with tar, I hit 2 large craters that ripped off the licence plate, indicators and rear mudgaurd. But yep, still have the XT600E front mudguard at home (saving up to get the tank repainted). For now the blue and white dont go together nicely and makes my Ten look like Joe's farm bike, which the Ten certainly is not.
