Hi guys, finally got round to ordering and fitting the hand guards along with some foam rallye style grips and it allows me to retain the OEM weights.. yay

First off, I've taken a few pics in case anyone else is looking for pointers/close ups as it did involve a fair bit of jiggery pockery and adjustment to get them to fit and avoid fouling the levers and may help someone else for future. Couldn't believe how much easier it was than I assumed it would be, especially the brake side. The KTMs look they were made for the Tenere as the cut out misses the reservoir perfectly. Clutch mirror mount had to be moved very slightly to the right for that side to fit properly.

Good news is no balls have been cut off(excuse the painful pun) and both levers pull smoothly and safely.

The foam grips were even easier to put on and glue - had nightmares about gluing the throttle tube open , other than taking off the bar weights (eek were they tightened by the Hulk or what?!!!!) - These make an unbelievable improvement to the vibes(once you get used to the chunkier circumference in your hand)...this is sounding more and more like a Carry On sketch..

Anyway, I`m glad everything went smoothly and without the usual amounts of swearing and the bike looks fab


























****** The only thing though is the way I've mounted the guards, I had to move the cross bar brackets towards each other( any other way meant the levers fouled - its that tight) so now the cross bar itself doesn't fit. Any ideas? Its not structural is it for the bar? I assume i can get a section of metal and fashion something that would bolt back onto the existing brackets********
