Bash plate?
I can't tell from internet piccies, but does the 09 Tracer have a spin on oil filter poking out the front?

yep..theyre a bit prone under there which is why i need the bash plate.. its really only the occas bit of gravel but wouldnt wanna end up with a dry engine
due to a hole in the pan
i have seen a bashplate on ebay that looks a bit 'uncomprehensive' but it may do for a starting point

Fair call. When the 1200 Super Ten came out some journos managed to smash the oil filter off it. Trying to jump it IIRC.
You would be bloody unlucky to get a rock in there, though.
Tyres? I can't really comment on anything in the size's you want. Plenty of options and I don't think any of them are "bad".
I gave up on dual porpoise tyres for my TDM, I'm happy enough riding gravel on road tyres.

I kinda think the 700 is more familial. The whole family of twins started off from half an FZR engine. Crikey, that's a long time ago.
Would love to have a shot on the triple, right up my street for a road bike.
Being a bit of a gravel lover, the T7 may well replace the TDM.
Post up your thoughts on the 900, most reviews seem to be interrupted by wheelies.
Cheers.

MOTOZ RallZ rear on the big bike, TKC-80 front. Awesome combo.
... well Im not about to read 3400+ posts... whats the verdict, what tyres came up trumps... Im running Anakies good on the road but skitery as in the gravel... thinking that the japs know best and I see they put on the Yamahas the rally STR so they must be a good all rounder???
PS im on a V85TT
cheers DD

Depends on which Anakee's ya talking about. There's 4 or 5 different types. Anakee Wilds are supposed to be very good. Similar to the Continental TKC80's I've used and trusted for years. You've ridden with me so you know how well the TKC80's scoot along on the seal, and they are great on gravel. Cheers.
Getting a proper bike right help too. Italian tractors are over rated
Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!
