In the meantime, I collected a fair amount of piccies(the big one is mine) of the new Tenere and here are some of packed Tenere's from all over the world.

Here one of my Tenere when I just got the bike, packed light for a trip to the Ardennes(at that time, I didn't yet have the H&B pannier frame).

If I did get one it would be a holdall type one, so you don't have to go take stuff out to get what you want in the bottom.

Hi Rick,
looking good mate if a little on the "Slim" side... LOL
Did you put your original exhaust back on to protect the Leos in case of a fall? Cant get my crap down that small as everything Crusty size is just that bit bigger and it all mounts up.
Both me and the bike have been going to weight watchers so i dont look quite such a tramp on the bike now as when i went to the Dragon Rally earlier in the year. Enjoy your trip mate.

Hi Crusty, hope you are keeping well !. I have sold the Leo's, I am doing another job now which involves starting early mornings mostly (02.00-04.00) and it was a be fruity that time of the morning when it is dead quite and I started her up and I didn't want to fall out with the people in my cal de sac.

Good luck with your diet.

Rick

Thought I'd throw my pennyworth in......I reckon the best panniers to use are the throw-over soft ones you borrow from your mate, keep for at least two years, crash several times in, and still haven't burst!!

Excellent value!!

Do you have any protection between the exhaust and bags?
The plastic cover on exhaust might get bend and burn on the hot exhaust.
Or there will be scratches on the plastic cover?
Because of these doubts i am just making the thin steel plate protection to go between the bags and exhaust plastics.
I will show some pics when finished.

G'day there Ni3ous

I'm currently trying to fab up some basic frames just to keep the bags from swinging inward and to secure them better. The plastic covers over the exhaust stay quite cool even once the exhaust is hot.... this i think was yammy's intention of this design (to be able to throw soft bags straight over the back).
Scratches!..... if i get any! doesn't matter, she won't stay pretty for ever

cheers
Reg.
