Have just finished a 5.6 litre storage mod for the Tenere. A permanent solution to store a number of important items, like tyre levers, rain suit additional tools, first aid kit, spare tubes.
Used the bracket from the stock exhaust, epoxy, Kevlar and Carbon fibre cloth. Its light and very stong.
Just need to do the lid.

With the back shock completely depressed there is still 70mm of clearance.
In the photo's it looks like its touching the exhaust but there is at least 15mm gap.
The finish is not perfect but adequate, at least now I can improve the mould and was using a flash so looks worse than it is.
It cannot readily be seen behind the exhaust.

Well done GStry, I am well impressed. We need ideas like that. Very cool!

now that's a very usefull mod! great work, nice one!

Crossed my mind as well, nice to see someone doing it! I have too many ideas and never get them all done. Pat on the back mate.

nice one thats what yamaha should of done to start with what goods a adventure bike with no storage under the seat

Thanks guys and I agree with tricky, Yamaha should have thought of this in the first place.
As expected my sons want me to help them with theirs so will improve on it.

That looks like a great idea, well done that man! Just think how much space you could have with a single can exhaust? I wonder if anyone will try it...?
