Rear flashers installation …
Not a fast job because it is necessary to take the entire rear end of the bike apart.
But the final result is perfect.

Installing LED fashers …
Using Rizoma adapters to close the large hole from the original flashers.
Not a difficult job on the front flashers.
Puig touring wind screen …
With the extra spoiler.
I never liked the look of the extra spoiler, but it is absolutely best trick to minimize wind noise in my helmet, so it is allowed on my bike 🙂
Sattelite beacon …
Works around the world – without mobile phone network/coverage.
4 basic features:
- SOS button to send an SOS with your position
- Track/share your position
- Send SMS to any phone number or mail adress
- Receive weather forecast
Subscription to sattelite communication is not cheap, but it is an important safety improvement when you travel away from the beaten track.

Wheel removal tool …
The Tenere 700 does not come with tools to remove the wheels.
This excellent kit from Estbound in Netherlands does the job without adding a lot of weight to the bike – and the small pouch fits nicely under the seat 👍

Water bottle holder …
I made this bracket for a bicycle water bottle holder today.
There was a suitable slot in the SW-Motech pannier rack, and after a few hours I had this bracket ready.
Givi toolbox installed …
I was never happy with the size, shape, or location of the Touratech toolbox that was a part of the lower crash bar.
So I have been trying to figure out how to install my favorite toolbox on the Tenere 700 – and I’m quite happy with the final result 🙂
Handle bar risers …
Original Yamaha risers to make the handle bar 20mm higher.
Perfect for my 187 cm height !
Stronger side stand spring …
The original spring in my hand is not strong enough to hold the sidestand up on rough roads.
