Cool Adventure-Spec Tenere Crashplate Available! (crashbars and Bashplate Combo)

Its taken a mighty long time as ever but we've got these little beauties on the shelf and ready to go.
They look similar to the Yamaha offerings, but have been completely re-engineered to mount better and take a good hammering.......i think they look pretty sweet!
check em out here

I agree.. the Aussie made B&B unit is AUD$245 and has high sides to protect waterpump etc..

Firstly, the product got priced wrong, its been corrected.

Secondly. Please beware that you are not just buying a bashplate, our product is the bashplate AND the crashbars.

The bars are not the Yamaha bars, although they look very similar. They are a brand new product made specifically to address the issues with the Yamaha ones, ie ours are not rubbish and will not break repeatedly.

Fitting, removal and on-the-trail maintenance is made much more simple by having far fewer fasteners and seperate hardware parts to deal with.

This is a UK made product. Our other crashbar product for the BMW F800GS has been proven on over 10 RTW trips now and continue to sell at a rampant pace. See testimonial at link below
http://www.adventure-spec.com/2009/1...pec-customers/

frankly at more than �145 for a simple bashplate the B+B part looks dear to me.

The Yamaha bashplate mounts to some ridiculously bendy bit of a steel flap at the front, i cant understand how it can offer any worthwhile protection

Our guard is mounted directly to our crashbars, which has two major benefits. A good solid mount through solid parts of the frame, that will spread any impacts throughout a large area and in case of major impacts ( i mean major) will deform the bars and their mounts before smashing your engine case to bits. Having the two parts as one makes for much simpler fitting and vastly reduced service times.

So. You get a set of crashbars(powdercoated in black) AND a bashplate (which is hard annodized in silver) for your money. (The bashplate and crashbars are not available seperately)

I think i need to make this clearer on our site......

Obviously its a location thing.... if you live in the UK then adventurespec's bash plate/bar combo would be the choice i would go for... even over touracrap.

But if you live in OZ well the B&B bashy would be the choice.

It's simply a postal cost issue.

I am not doubting the stength or the design, I think it looks good... and at GBP190 , is now a lot better value.

To be honest, if the shipping wasn't as high as it is, I'd most probably order that one over the B&B one as IMO it does look nicer.. and seeing that we don't pay the VAT it comes in at around GBP170 but the freight charges aer just too high..

They should sell well now at GBP190

i'll forward these comments onto to a dealer in Oz who has placed an order for Tenere parts.

Contact http://www.adventuremoto.com.au

we dont do dealers normally, but the prohibitive price of shipping individual parts to Australia means it makes sense.

we havent sent him any stuff yet. i need to contact him to sort the order out he has placed, but it only takes about 5 days to ship, so once they're off it shouldnt take long!
He hasnt set any prices yet, although you dont pay VAT i guess there will be some Oz duties on import and shipping to take into account so they will be more expensive than here.
