I've just put together a gallery of a few of the mods I've done to my Tenere so far ....

http://tenere.atsoll.net/#0.16



Summary -
HID Kit with bar mounted switch,
LED Side lights,
LED indicator inserts,
Oxford HotHands heated grips,
Oxford bike thermometer,
Garmin Zumo 400 GPS,
Scottoiler,
HEL braided brake lines (rear set still to be fitted) & Brembo replacement pads,
R&G front fork sliders,
Metal Mule radiator guard,
Metal Mule rear calliper guard (pure bling product IMHO)
Touratech rear carrier & NonFango topbox plate.
LeoVince exhausts.
Westco uprated battery (higher cold crank capacity than the standard battery).

I have a full set of HyperPro springs waiting to go on the front and rear so hope to get them done soon.

Nice work...do you get any issues with the LED indicators? Any faults show up please?

No faults on the XT for things like that as far as I know. I bought an electronic indicator relay a while back so I need to find that then remove the 21W resistors from the back of the inserts.

I wasn't altogether happy with the performance of the HID kit and that it was doing the electrical system any good so I have reverted back to the original headlamp bulb & wiring. The light from the HID kit was excellent but it was the inrush current when starting up that concerned me and the ommission of auto re-strike electronics if the bulb didn't start up 1st time on switching them on.

So, I opted to go the auxiliary light route so invested in a set of Vision X Solsticelamps and mounting bracket. Not the cheapest of solutions but I am pleased with the results especially with minimal additional loading on the electrical system.

nice, ordered a set myself
