XT1200Z: The new WaspWorks Super Tenere, in detail and the evolution

Yes, but that link is pointing to a Touratech rack that goes where the seat was. They say it works in conjunction with the Touratech tail rack, which is a different item. I can see a possible advantage of their metal tail rack replacing the OEM plastic one, but still don't see the advantage of this other section.

To each his own, but having seen the OEM setup (that is me in the video) it appears perfect for my own use of a place to put my tailpack.

Bargenator dropped over today with his black decal'ed bike.
So just to help the confused to decide on a preference of decal color for the blue/silver bikes I thought I would include a side by side pic..

I might leave the silvers on for a while - They've kinda grown on me

Good luck.

Greg.

Go and remove that bloody awful orange and black warning sticker pronto Greg.. it's hurting my eyes

Fear not Warna. There are plans afoot to remove the whole silver plastic rear cowl in the near future.

Greg.

Great! A pair of um, I just want one of um!
Love the decals. keep posting pics Greg......

Greg,

Do you still carry links to raise the rear height on the S10? I want to order but did not see these on your site.

Thanks for clarifying...

Hi ya Alsoran.
I dont have anything on my site as all the MotorradWorks products are sold through www.motorradgarage.com.au
You can purchase them here: http://www.motorradgarage.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=106_247&products_id=1160

Greg.

Perfect...Thanks Greg!

Best Regards.

Hi Greg
Just recieved my carbon exhaust this morning,very impressed it was
worth waiting for, the sound is awsome, and sets the bike off just
right. Thank you for the service and delivery.


PS Have any of you guys overthere had stone chips on the bronze
engine side covers and can you get touch up paint


Thanks again Kerry

Good to hear you finally have your exhaust. Hope you can join us on Sydney ST owners ride #2. I may be able to map out a run for April 16.

That's good news Kerry - Just make sure you set it up parallel with the frame rail on the L/H side and at the nominated dimension out from the body.
Are you riding with baffle in or out?... I generally ride with it in all the time now as I am using the SW-Motech panniers a lot. The left hand pannier frame runs slightly across the outlet of the muffler, and with no baffle in makes a horrible reverb sound. The baffle reduces to outlet diameter just that fraction so the flow of gas clears the pannier bar.

God I love that tone - With or without the baffles.

Cant help with the bronze engine color name - Perhaps try and get the color code off Yamaha....

Greg.

Talking that very thing on the S10 thread.

Looking forward to being one of the first US customers. An obviously technically correct system (and looks good too!)...can't wait to see that it is better than depicted!

Good work mate..

Well,,, You're a fair way down the line but in the first dozen it the US I guess.
Good to have you on board - I know you will love it... I found it hard to do without when it was on and off during development.

Greg.

Did I mention that I officially hate all you that have your Super Tenere to ride, work on and farkle up -----Well this is more accurate . I am about ready for that bike to get here. Farkles are accumulating fast now.

Hey Greg thanks for all your help a couple of days ago. Finally got my order through for the wind screen adjustor, I can't wait to install it in 2 weeks!!! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

I'm on my 3rd set of Shinko 705's on my 1000 V-Strom now... I love 'em. Pretty good on the road, and much better off road than most, and cheap. Will be trying them on the Super Tenere for sure. Not sure how they'll cope with the extra weight (the first batch of 705's had delamination issues) but will find out.

That said... this is Greg's thread, better to post these questions over on the main S10 thread

How many miles are you getting out of the front and rear?
