A nice package landed at work yesterday from the guys at OTR. After a little indecision on which shock to buy i stumped for the primo Ohlins unit whilst i can afford it. I cant wait to get it fitted As the sachs unit is very boucy now haha.

Kahedo high seat.(hated that hump in the original seat)
525 chain kit. Never managed to get more than 12000 miles out of a 520 chain. even with a chain oiler. So lets see if the 525 fairs any better
DNA filter
OHLINS rear shock.

I also got time to fit a bag full of touratech goodies i Picked up after spotting them in the ebay watch section







Made some decals from vinyl sheet to try to compliment the design. Yellows a little.off though.


Ill report back on the shock when its fitted and it has some mileage on it. The seat is a revelation. I can move around and its narrower without the square edges of the oem seat.

Thanks for looking.
Jon

Hi Jon, that's a nice lot of goodies for your Ten!, will be very interested in how the chain and Ohlins shock perform. Seat looks good on the bike...does it feel much taller.? Steve

Congrats!

The high seat is one of the most comfortable things (i'm "just" 1.88m) - the Oehlins brings also a lot more comfortability and the gear-shifter is much more responsive. DNA-Filter with no snorkel is a good choice
with Kev's tools mounted.

I've also buyed the frame-protectors, but on my black Z these are not so nice and in my point of view not so useful.

Have a lot of phun with your Z - as i can see it's used for what a T�n�r� should be also use to .

cheers and regards from Switzerland

Andy

Steve, the seat does feel a lot higher to be honest. Its also very hard. But softeneing a little.with every mile. :-) id say itnrealistically adds 2" to the seated height. Ive gone from flat both feet. To toes down both feet.

Shock is grand. Hasnt really done anything for the ride. Feels a little harsh at times but im still tweaking it. (500 miles done so far) it really has transformed the handling though. soooo stable and offroad soaks up anything. No more speed wobbles.when loaded. Its awsome.

Thanks - yes the Alps are perfect for the T�n�r�'s (also with the old 600 one with no weight). And with the Anakee III that i've also mounted a little bit more .

enjoy it!
