    Here is my machine at Xmas in the South Island. Mods include Laser header, Arrow Dakar pipe (sounds sweet), Wilbers fork springs, black powercoated rims, smaller indicators, Eagle extended screen.....the list goes on. Great to ride and always attracts attention as there were never may brought into NZ. The BYRD kits on the 660's look sweet, anyone know if there are still available for the xtz750?:dutch

    A2, the Eagle screen is great but could do with another inch in height for me as I tend to slouch a little in the saddle....as for pictures here are a couple.

    Just found this thread, here's my 99 Tenere I brought as a project bike. I have only done a couple of hundred Ks on it but I can see why so many blokes love em. Can't wait till its finished and I will post some pictures of it then.

    A couple of weeks ago I found a Super 10 750 in poor condition and I am trying to get it for a long term project. Fingers crossed.

    If you're interested in the XTZ750 feel free to click the link in my sig - it says UK group but it's now the International S10 Owners Group. There are already a few Aussies in there (including Just Al).

    Dave,
    They are worth there weight in gold. Have had an off on my Tenere with them, and no damage at all to fairings, the crash bars, panniers and foot peg took the impact. Wouldnt be with out them.
    Just a hassle when removing fairings.
    Regards
    Craig
