Tart Parts...

Bike Candy, Trinketry, Farkles, call them what you will...

Having spent far too much time on ADV rider while I've been here, I thought it might be an idea to start a thread to show our favorite bits of bike candy and/or utter waste of money...

OK, so I really just wanted an excuse to show off my latest modification (now my big trip is essentially over, I thought I'd treat the Tenere to some trinketry) - but it is also tenuously helpful for anyone looking to fit replacement levers on the Tenere:

These are the C5 Sport (streetbike) levers, rather than the off-road specific ones... the brake lever is the FZ1/FZ6 04-08 version, and directly fits the Tenere master cylinder. ASV pn. BRC541 (-S if you want the shorty version like this)




The clutch lever is the same as the Suzuki GSXR 600/750 from 97-05 (also the V-Strom DL650 04-07 or the SV650 99-06) and fits the stock Tenere perch - yea! ASV pn. CRC530 (-S if you want the shorty version like this)




They are meant to be unbreakable (this version has a 5-year guarantee) and certainly bend in a crash, although not as far round as their off-road specific F3 levers...




They also come in a right fancy box... mmmmmmmm!



Like I say, a totally expensive and unnecessary (perhaps?) addition, but make the bike feel like a million dollars!

That's almost as rude as asking my age or my weight... and sadly the numbers are almost the same...

Nice levers JMo, I'm considering sawing mine and filing the edges round.
My latest fancy part was having the seat re-foamed and re-covered. Oh and continuing the DIY aspect of my Ten I made a camera mount so I can take pictures/video on the road.
Still not made the front rack though...but if I have time I'll be fitting some Firestorm micron silencers to it, possibly with one as a tool tube

There you go, get your credit cards out guys...

In fact ironically (bearing in mind they are made in the bloody USA) that is about �30 a pair cheaper than I paid here...

Still, my ProTaper bars and clamps were correspondingly less (dollars for pounds) so it all evens out I guess...

I did this originally and it worked very well, but these ASV puppies really do feel special x
