My wife mainly said she feels higher up on the Tenere. I do use an Airhawk
for the passenger too. Out of the Strom, FJR and Tenere she likes the Tenere best.
She like the Strom over the FJR.

Unfortunately no. But it will be easy to detach. I am going to use a cargo strap with a cambuckle on it.

I would be really leary about putting anything like a cargo strap and buckle anywhere near the wheel; or a box that close to the wheel.

It doesn't take much to spit it into the wheel and that's a bad day.

Very nice to see the S10 is liked by cycle world.

I'm 6' and the stock screen in either factory position felt like someone was playing paradiddles on my head with a pair of framing hammers. It was literally teeth-rattling.

Ended up with a CalSci shorty leaned back a little with the Madstad bracket. Problem solved - it wouldn't help you with reducing wind blast though - there's plenty of that with my configuration - but it's smooth air now.

It is waterproof and comes with a thin layer of foam lining on the inside.

Just as a suggestion. Otter box does make a product with an opening end lid.
It's not the same volume as what you have there, but access would be easier
and would also give a little room cushion. Could bolt to your bracket so
strap flopping would be a non issue as well.






Yes they make it in black. For well known reasons I went with yellow.

I'm 6'5" and I run a cal-sci x-large on a touratech adjustable bracket with the screen all of the way up and back, and the accessory wind deflectors and it works great. No buffeting at all at any speed. Now it is of course a barn door but the touratech bracket is pretty solid and it really doesn't shake much at all. I also have a madstad bracket but I can't say I'm a fan. It was impossible to get it to stay in place with the giant screen and it also holds the screen out from the bike considerably more than the touratech. This is my config.

Nobody has mentioned an MRA screen yet. Matched with a Waspworks adjuster the possibilities are endless. The flip on the MRA disrupts the blast and flips most of it over your head.

The adjuster allows the screen to be lowered for off road or hot weather.

I am nothing like your height (5' 10") but I also have a long torso, that of a man of about 6' - 6' 2".

You are to brackets what Jaumev is to stickers.

[MeefZah]

I think its time to get an adjustment bracket for the windshield. I hate the stock setup.

Anyone have a used one of any make? Where is the Waspworks one listed, I don't see it on their site?

Last I heard, Wasp wasn't making his brackets anymore. Madstadt makes one, though.

[twinrider]

I've got Tobinators on mine. They make it very easy to adjust the windshield even while riding.

I've got my eye on this beauty.



I love the looks of this machine but then I like the fuglystrada. All of my riding is tarmac with the Fugly. 90% two up. I am worried after studying forums etc that this may be underpowered for long distance two up riding. I know I (we) need a test ride to work this out and I know it isnt going to be like the Multi. However in some circumstances the Multi is too quick as my better half gets caught out when I'm overtaking as she cant see past my helmet.


Any two up riders gone from the Multi to the Ten and have opinions on the power?

Oh..and will I look a complete knob riding a Worldcrosser on the road??

Much appreciated

[William42]

I think you need a test ride. That is what convinced me to trade in the FJR on the XT. About half of the riding on the XT is two up. The XT does not have the power the FJR has but it has more than enough for us.
