The story of Tenzing the Super Tenere

Filter skins inside the single stage filter to make it like a 1.5 stage??

Got any info or just find some used stockings

Filterskins, amongst others.

Or you could just use your old stockings. The foot section would do nicely in yours, don't you think?

The foot out of my stockings will be far to large. Can you send me down the feet out of a couple of yours - they'll fit much better

Ta for the link. Going shopping at lunchtime.

Made some filter cages and attachment plates over the weekend. Just got to finish (bit of filing, drill the mounting holes, and paint) the cages then make the foam filters and all done. Definitely not the prettiest. Obviously don't do enough manual work - all the jig sawing and filing gave me really bad arm pump. Also with a little experimenting I finally figured out how to solder with a blow torch and separate solder and flux. Can defiantly see that being a useful skill in the future.

Far more exciting though is that a large heavy parcel arrived for me this morning after I left for work

Bike should be breathing nicely and bouncing (in a controlled way without and clunks) this weekend. Will put up some pics tonight.

Know what you mean about the arm pump

It's not like you can just switch to left handed after a bit either...
If you still want straight cuts...

Says he who was swanning around all Sunday Your going to have to wait till the weekend.

Much more interesting was the parcel that arrived today. Nice shiny bits of metal including a Wilbers shock and fork springs. Got some fork oil this afternoon as well. All going well should have the the new suspension bits installed tomorrow night.

And even more importantly...

Gotta love the Germans - they even give you instructions on where and how to place the stickers

Forgot to mention that the with the Wilbers the XTZ now costs the same as I sold the DR for. That's a pretty good "swap" I reckon.

I've got Eibach stickers if you think they'll help.

Why only half do the job? I got some Ohlins stickers!!

Mind you, if that really worked I'd be having a Stefan Merriman sticker on my forehead...

Don't knock it, I've been using my "this way up" stickers for months now, haven't had a problem since I installed them.....

Little experiment for you then - take them off

Shock in and forks re oiled and re sprung. Sits much much higher on the side stand and definitely wont be prone to falling over on flat ground any more.

Hopefully the shock settles a little though cause there is no static sag at all at the moment. Don't know what the dynamic sag is yet cause I haven't put seat on pending the tank which needs the air box which needs the air filters which are still being made.
